Winslow Leg Key - $50 shipped
This KY-116/U was built by Winslow Electronics and uses a standard J-37 
key mounted on a hinged base with leg clamps. The hinged base allows the 
key to be turned upright to set on a desk, if available. The key is 
shown in the down position for clamping onto the operator's leg. 
Actually, operating the key in this manner is pretty comfortable and 
pretty good CW can be sent with the key clamped to your leg. Certainly, 
the method was not for long-term operation and was intended for portable 
use where a table or desk wasn't practical.

The KY-116/U is the specified key for the GRC-19 set
