The mechanical construction of the MORSE key has been assembled on a
7 mm thick cast plastic by 4 screws.
As god that would formed a self-sufficing unit.
But in using for keeping the MORSE key on stable position under operator's hand,
the thick plastic plate has been fixed on a base plate made of thin steel.
By the two holes on the base plate can be fixed on the desk.
The covering plate is assembled by two ribbed screws on the plastic plate.
The covering plate can be drew up to right angle loosing a small screw on the side.
The MORSE key is warded off the staining and physical/mechanical damage by that covering.

The MORSE key is basically a conventional working mechanism.
The moving lever is fixed by two adjustable screws locating
on two sides on a "U" shape bow.
The moving lever made of aluminum.
The two adjusting screws are conic-shaped for less friction.
Moreover by those adjustable screws can be corrected
the wearing affect in frequent use.
They are showed in the photo below clearly :

Designers were careful: a bending protector tube is pulled on the cable where a small metal strap fixes to the plastic thick plate.
As the base plate and the covering are greyed the MORSE key is named "Grey key"
