TW Olympic

Watch a video about the TW Olympic  (Video courtesy of Sandy G0VQW).




The TW Olympic was a true twin lever bug with magnetic tension on both dot and dash levers.

It was self centering and could be set to very fine limits, under these conditions it felt like a good paddle and was virtually silent in operation.

Using the single weight provided, a speed range of approximately 14-28 w.p.m could be achieved.

Apart from the base, it was of all brass construction polished to a mirror finish and lacquered to prevent tarnishing.

The photograph to the left shows a prototype unit of the TW Olympic.
