KEY 37

This key is a WT 8 AMP, No.2 Design 1 variation B, British armed forces design that was used under WW2.
The early Key WT, 8-amp, No. 2 is having reversed make and break contacts.
They was also used with the Fullerphone Mk. IV
It's verry similar to the other WT types I have see Key 9 and Key 17

This must be a W.B. morse key, made by Whiteley Electrical Radio in London, from 1938 and during WW2.
More info about this key in the Morsum Magnificat No. 22, Spring 1992.
In the Morsum Magnificat No. 28, June 1993, you will find a extensive survey on the WT 8 AMP keys by G4FAI, Tony Schmit.

The spring adjustment looks untraditionel but works good
The brass adjustment screw is not original, I guess
