Tom Perera, W1TP, has a collection of over 3000 Morse code keys and bugs going back to pre-American Civil War, perhaps the largest collection in the World. He displays these keys in his virtual, on-line museum.

W1TP shares with me the history of his collection, some interesting stories, and his newest interest and collection of military cipher machines, including the WW2 German Enigma, in this QSO Today.

The online key museum is here: http://w1tp.com/

I've viewed Tom's website many times over the years, it's a goldmine for information and helping to identify obscure keys.

You can get a CD from the Tom's website (it used to be available from RSGB in the UK), which features his collection, I bought a copy a few years ago.

It's called "Perera's Telegraph Reference CD, by Prof. Tom Perera, W1TP"

This one I have is the second edition, which appears to be the last update by Tom.
