民國32年，美國陸軍，通信部隊，EE-8-A 野戰電話，凱洛格交換機及供應公司《Black Water Museum Collections | 黑水博物館館藏》
EE-8 野戰電話的聽筒與現代電話相仿，差別在TS-9型話筒上有一個類似無線電麥克風的蝴蝶型通話鈕，說話時再打開可節省電池電力，雙向通話，結構堅固耐用，多數EE-8 野戰電話至今仍然可以正常工作。
美軍陸軍從民國24 年(1935)到越戰期間持續使用 EE-8 野戰電話。使用被覆線最大傳輸距離為11公里。 EE-8 使用 1號(D)電池供電，當電池電壓下降，話筒音量也隨之下降。EE-8 野戰電話用手搖發電機發電，使另一端的電話響鈴。早期型是皮製攜行袋，二戰後期為節省成本改為帆布製攜行袋。在第二次世界大戰期間，野戰電話比無線電更受歡迎，因為EE-8 野戰電話比背負式 (SCR-300)無線電和手持式無線電 (SCR-536) 可靠得多。
