ee8 field phone manualThis article covers the bits of it you need to know to test if yours works (even if you only have one). And if it does, you can try finding another one. These phones are really sturdy, so there’s a good chance you’ll have a working one. The main thing you’ll want to check for is that the batteries haven’t leaked (corrosion on the battery springs). I have one like that, so not top-grade, but apparently it still works. This is the small screw next to the lever switch. Test with a screwdriver if it’s turned all the way counterclockwise to LB. That turned out to be tricky. At first I thought my modern D-cell batteries were too tall. I just couldn’t get them in. In this photo you see how to first place the bottom of the battery on the battery spring at an angle. While still at this angle, press the battery down. You should feel the spring moving down. Then push the battery inside and straight. First strip the ends and then screw them into the line binding posts marked L1 and L2. For the preliminary testing, only connect 1 phone. We’ll get to connecting the second one further down. The sound (sidetone) should be heard in the receiver when the switch is in operated position, but should not be heard when the switch is released. Hear pulse in headset. The generator should turn easily and you should hear pulses in the receiver. The ringer should not operate. You’ll feel drag on generator. The generator should now turn hard, as if a drag were placed on it, and the bell should not ring. It doesn’t matter which side of the wire goes into L1 or L2. Good thing too, because you wouldn’t know which side is which after unrolling a mile-long cable. Turn the generator, and the ringer should sound on the other phone. Press the lever on the handset to talk and release to listen. It is used to hang the handset on when connected to a central battery in a switchboard set-up. It says so on the top cover, and for a reason.http://www.alfavs.eu/userfiles/file/d110-owners-manual.xml

If the talking lever on the handset is depressed when packed inside the case for storage or transportation, this will drain the batteries. As testified in many unit histories, cables could break, thus cutting off communications. A linesman would have to be sent to find where it broke and repair it. All sorts of equipment exists for carrying and laying cables. In the photos above you see the smallest type of reel for about 200 yards of wire, but they existed in various sizes. A mile-long reel could be carried on a chest-harness, and larger reels existed and could be towed by a special hand cart or on a special rack behind a jeep. It is made of 2 strands of copper wire, reinforced with steel wire to prevent breakage. The wire in the photos above is not authentic and only used for testing. These things never worked when you needed them, they require a custom-built 90v battery (!), the range is only a mile or two, and telecommunication laws in Europe prohibit the use of them anyway. For fun re-enactment bring in the EE-8 field phone. It only requires 2 D-cell 1,5v batteries and the range of 11 miles is more than you’ll ever need. And all perfectly legal. At McAuliffe’s headquarters of the 101st, you see plenty of wires coming into the switchboard from all over the Bastogne perimeter. You’ll need one of those if you want to build a communications network of more than 2 phones. I am having a hard time making the Positive side of the battery to align with post to make a good contact. Is there something I can install like a cap so that the positive side of the battery stays in place. Right now I have take the phone out of the case to assure batteries stay aligned. Thanks Pete Unwin You are selling these items? I’m not interested myself as I already have these items, but maybe someone else reading this may be interested. Have a nice day They both work but one is a little louder than the other. The earpiece that is. Is there a way to make it a little louder. Thank you Pat.http://gurolmumcu.com/userfiles/d1105-manual.xml The sound in the earpiece depends on the power from the 2 D-cell batteries. I’m sure you already that those are properly charged. More likely, there is corrosion somewhere on the contact of the weaker sounding telephone. Look for that and try to gently sand it off in order to obtain a better contact.Do you know how I could fix this? Maybe someone else can help. The leather one has a toggle switch on the handset, the other has a button. Also, the leather has no insignia embossed into it, as I’ve seen in photos. Any info would be great. I’ve already learned a lot from your site, thanks. EE-8s were used from WW2 to vietnam and they changed the bag types multiple times. As for the button, my two korean war ones have switches, so no clue there. Could be a post production edit. Or, what they’re called? Thanks Is this authentic?

It was housed in leather, then canvas, and its last production had a nylon case and straps, after the changeover to that material in 1967.So the order for the EE-8 was let sometime between 01 July 1943 and 30 June 1944. The Order Sequence Number is 7859 out of at least 40172 (the highest FY 1944 sequence number currently in my database). A simple straight-line approximation would put the calendar year date for 7859 at 09 September 1943. So the phone would probably have been delivered in October or November of 1943. The -B model does have an original handset and cord. These have been tested in both LB and CB modes and work fine. The EE-8-B has a handset TS-13-E with transmitter. The EE-8-A handset TS-9-F has a receiver made by American Microphone. Company Ltd. Sep 1943 type 113. The transmitter is type 1118.http://ninethreefox.com/?q=node/14015 I replaced the handsets with TS-13's from Fair Radio summer 2008 because the Radio had said that they didn't have the handsets, but they aren't really sure If you don't find it on their Jason Garver's page on them.There are threeThe capacitors used in the different versions are approximately the These differences inThe battery positive is the handset terminalWe have an oak wall phone on the same You can connect Next would be the I'd be real One little feature which some While you have this switch operated Otherwise, the batteries have no drain.

One caveat, if you Remember to oil the things that turn in the magneto. It will help. Designed to be dragged to hell and back (most of them have been), these phones just work. Come dirt, battery corrosion, seawater, or hotpockets, these nine-pound bricks have taken a beating and are ready for more. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination (and your jurisdiction's penal code). The external wiring, frame, battery compartment, and hand crank are checked for corrosion and damage. The canvas case is checked for excess dirt and markings. It should be noted that these phones are incredibly simple to service and most broken components can be replaced with a minimum of technical knowledge. EE8-Bs were built before electronics got tiny and confusing, and there's a complete wiring diagram on the inside of each phone. The cosmetic condition of a phone does not affect its functionality. That has been tested for and sorted separately. Dirt, dust, and signs of use, all wires are undamaged, almost no corrosion.

The talking and signaling range of the telephone varies with the type of line wire use, the condition of the wire, whether the wire is dry or wet, and whether the wire is on the ground or in the air. The telephone will operate satisfactorily over the distances usually found in corps and subordinate wire systems, provided the lines are well constructed. These distances may be increased by the proper use of loading coils. Capabilities of telephone when applied to different systems are discussed in paragraphs 5, 6, and 7. In French: TSF for Telegraphie sans fil. It was housed in leather, then canvas, and its last production had a nylon case and straps, after the changeover to that material in 1967. The EE-8 Field Telephone was standardized in 1932 and procurement began in 1937, providing a lighter and more functional unit just in time for the huge mobilization of the U.S. military for WW II. Among other improvements, the EE-8 increased the maximum transmission range of the predecessor EE-5 Field Telephone by six miles or more. Horii ordered to withdraw his troops from the Kokoda Track to beachheads at Buna, Gona and Sanananda. 25 Sep 1944 British troops, cutoff and suffering heavy casualties, begin withdrawal from unsuccessful Operation Market Garden positions.

As a local battery telephone, a talking range of 11 to 17 miles is typical, suitable for Corps area usage. The EE-8-A and -B are a little larger than the EE-8. The main difference between the EE-8 and the other models is that a section of the case lid has been cut out and replaced by flexible material to enable the handset to be hung on the case in a position to hold down the lever switch. However, experience in the Pacific showed right away that leather did not hold up and the EE-8 leather case was replaced by an olive drab canvas case with web strap. The EE-8 and EE-8A utilize an aluminum chassis while the EE-8B chassis is sheet steel. All control switches and binding posts for wire are contained on the terminal block. The lever switch is curved and spring loaded so that it is depressed when the weight of the handset is rested on it (EE-8 is off line, switch open). The EE-8 comes on the line when the handset is lifted (switch closed). The crank is operated from the side of the case. The TS-9-F Handset connects to the EE-8 or EE-8A and is stored in the case, in an open area accessible when the top cover is open. The EE-8B has similar handset TS-13-E. Two BA-30 1.5 volt D-cell batteries are installed in the battery compartment reached from the terminal block area at the top-inside of the case. Photo courtesy of Edmund F. Leavitt.In point to point circuits, local battery operation is used and the pair of phones on each end of the circuit are connected directly together (no switchboard). The hand-cranked generator is used to signal the other station. Ranges up to hundreds of miles are possible under ideal conditions with high quality wire. Switchboards may be used in local battery mode or common battery mode. In local battery operation, all EE-8 phones are connected to the switchboard which can connect any pair as necessary. The hand-cranked generator is used to signal the switchboard. Several local battery switchboards can be connected together by trunks; any telephone of any of the switchboards can be connected to any other phone. Use of a switchboard in local battery mode reduces the distance that the signals will carry. The local EE-8 must have batteries and the handset switch must be operated when talking. The lever switch of the telephone is used to signal the switchboard operator. The EE-89 is powered by a single BA-40 (See TM 11-2006). The technical manual for the EE-8 phones is TM 11-333. As another analog 2-wire phone, it will interoperate with the EE-8. The TA-312 was used from the 1950s, while the EE-8 was still in service, through the 1980s.

They can draw power from their own battery, from a telephone exchange (via a central battery known as CB), or from an external power source. Some need no battery, being sound-powered telephones.This technology was used from the 1910s to the 1960s. Later the ring signal has been made electronically operated by a pushbutton, or automatic as on domestic telephones. The manual systems are still widely used, and are often compatible with the older equipment.Telephones were already being used to support military campaigns in British India and in British colonies in Africa in the late 1870s and early 1880s. In the United States telephone lines connected fortresses with each other and with army headquarters. They were also used for fire control at fixed coastal defence installations. The first telephone for use in the field was developed in the United States in 1889 but it was too expensive for mass production. Subsequent developments in several countries made the field telephone more practicable. The wire material was changed from iron to copper, devices for laying wire in the field were developed and systems with both battery-operated sets for command posts and hand generator sets for use in the field were developed.This phone is fully interoperable with the EE-8, TA-1, TA-43 and TA-312 series of US Field Phones.

SB-22 Manual Telephone Switchboard: This is a light weight, local battery, field-type switchboard that can be installed rapidly to provide facilities for interconnecting 12 circuits. The SB-22 is used to interconnect local battery telephone circuits, remote controlled radio circuits, and voice-frequency teletypewriter circuits. Normally comes with cover and metal case, but some have a composite plastic case. Works with EE-8 and TA-312 phones. Active lines make neon lamp in U-184 glow as an indicator. Palm-operated generator provides approx 100 V to buzz- signal another phone, and the hanset also contains a visual indicator. Rubber coil cord with push terminals for wire hook-up. Ringing signal audible only in 4-wire hook-up. TA-838 also operates over standard telephone lines. Rugged thermoplastic construction. Requires 24-56 VDC, Tone pad has characters 0-9, FO-F-I-P-R-O-C, Controls are Volume, Ring, and button on H-250 handset.Two pairs of what looks like small lamp cord or speaker wire which are twisted together. One pair is brown and the other is green.There are three kinds which are commonly found on the surplus market. You must have two phones of the same kind to communcate.The user merely connects them together with a 2-conductor wire, which can be actual field wire, or anything from speaker wire, lamp cord to CAT5 computer wire, or regular old telephone wire. The phones have a switch on them for the kind of hookup. In this position, each phone will use its own batteries. The other phone will 'clack' or ring as long as you crank. When the other phone is answered, the operators may speak. Four-wire phones are generally compatible with other four-wire phones.

In this position, each phone will use its own batteries or in some cases a power supply. If the remote phone requires an external power supply, and you have power locally, just use a 6-wire cable, or CAT5 computer cable which has 8 wires.Lower baud rates are more reliable.Common baud rates are 16KbpS and 32KbpS. Sometimes the battery switch is incorporated into the baud rate switch, adding more positions. Set the phone to 16LB for example, for 16 Kb operation.Some take batteries. Some take up to 56VDC. Be sure to use the correct power supply and polarity with respect to power! A great reference for the vintage military communications collector. Please ask all questions before you bid.

The circuit is straightforward, and has provision to support local battery (ie: D cells in the case of each phone) or common battery (powered from switchboard office location) There is an induction coil to improve longer range performance (range is about 17 miles), a ringer bell, and a ringing generator to provide signaling voltage over the line to ring the bell of whomever you are calling. It is this generator that Radar so vigorously cranked to get Sparky’s attention. The EE-8, the EE-8-A, and the EE-8-B. The basic circuit was also adapted for use in radio patch units such as the RM-29, RM-39, etc. Other versions of the circuit were also used in some amplified sets and the switchboards. But all in all, the telephone end of it worked pretty much the same across the board. In these it is about 75-90 volts at about 20 to 30 Hertz. All of these also have a cam actuated switch that disconnects the phone circuit from the line during cranking so that the high voltage does not harm the talk circuit parts. When you turn the crank, before the gears turn, the shaft slides back a little bit on a cam cut split in it and the subsequent protrusion at the other end operates this switch. In the EE-8 series of equipment, the three variants of the generators are interesting to us geeky types with an historical bent. This is pretty much the same as all of those which came before it and commonalities of design can readily be seen in telephones from the 1880’s onward. But the GN-38-A is an oddity here. Instead of the coil being wound upon the armature and spun within the magnetic field, the coils of the A model are stationary and the magnet is within the armature itself. This follows the practice commonly used in aircraft engine magnetos. Perhaps this was an attempt to reduce some manufacturing complexity or to use some readily available materials. During the war such changes, if not technically needed for the device to work properly, would have been driven by material and manufacturing constraints. (the same sort of reasons that resulted in automobile license plates being made of a fiberboard derived from Soy Beans instead of metal like usual.) The GN-38-A is pretty rare. I’ve seen it in the EE-8 manuals, and I have one in my collection, but I have never encountered the A model variant installed in a phone that has come across my bench. It is definitely the rare version. Likely it was only made for a short time before being replaced with the B model. The B model generator went back to the standard sort of arrangement having the armature coil and stationary magnets. These magnets, however, were an improvement over the horseshoe magnets of the GN-38 and ringing generators of the past. These magnets are compact, rectangular forms that presumably are just as powerful yet they seem to be lighter. In addition to the slight weight savings there is the more important savings in overall parts count as there are just the two magnets instead of three-and their associated mounting hardware. Additionally, by machining the arc shape into the magnet itself, the pole pieces could be eliminated and there was likely a slight increase in magnetic efficiency as well. This variation is by far the most common and is likely to be the only version that anyone will encounter when they find any of these old phones. Of course! After the war they hit the surplus market and could be had in Army-Navy stores for just a buck or two a piece. Many ended up in tinkerer’s project bins, others got used as intercoms in houses and factories, mines, kids played with them, some used the generators to go fishing, etc. I had several in my youth and later found a few more here and there. As recently as 10 years ago I obtained four of them at a garage sale. And of course, they can be found on ebay any given day that you choose to look. So yes, pretty common. And now you know why.
