[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3155940, member: 10465"] It's (was) used to hold a spool of field telephone wire; from Korean War/Vietnam Era; probably been out of use for a good 25-30 years now, anyway. Connect to a field phone on one end; (CP) trot the line down the road to the other phone (OP) and connect. "Ringy-dingy, ringy dingy." "Hello? 10th Marines? Uh, could you guys like, shoot a whole buncha arty about 100 yds in front of me? Like, uh...right now? Please?" * From same era as topographical map and compass, and plotting boards; since superseded by much more modern gizmos. [/QUOTE]
