Remember the safety problem with my 1934 transmitter? One of the phone plugs is for metering and the other is for the key. If, in the heat of the moment, I get the two mixed up and plug the key into a B+ metering jack, I'll have over 300 volts on the key.
To protect myself I tied a length of string and a plastic cable clamp to the key phone plug (any lump of plastic would work). After the key is plugged in I slide the cable clamp u
nder the front edge of the transmitter. The string is short enough that the plug can not be removed without getting the clamp out from under the transmitter.
