The U.S. Army BD-71 Switchboard was used during World War II and Korean Wars by many units for field or camp communications. The devices had six line capabilities that allowed direct line communications through the use of field telephones. I restored this set to full operating condition, thanks to Steve Hilz for the spare parts!
