Keys imply restricted access, as with house keys, code keys, etc.- here used to mean an ideological answer- or chart as to how the code is used or enciphered, as the telegraph key is used to transmit Code signals, the usage is obvious. the French refer to it as un Cleft telegraphique and Key, or Clef, of course, has musical analogies as well. so goes the term, it was always called a key. Sender is sometimes used for the entire Transmitter- mainly German use- Notsender- emergency transmitter, or back-up transmitter or sender. that is the key. By the way the slang term, often used to designated VIP types- Key Man , as a hyphenated Key-Man or one word form Keyman, sometimes referred to a telegrapher. I am surprised it was not used in this context on Hogan"s Heroes, who employed just such a radio operator- Kincheloe.
