There's not a lot of space on that table, so you're probably looking at a SLIDEX wallet and some cards, plus message pads and suchlike. (That assumes that the cipher office was not separate, of course, in which case it would just be used for booking messages in, out and through, with the signal office elsewhere.

You may want to have a read of Signal Training Volume V (1938), Signal Office Procedure, and Signal Training (All Arms), Pamphlet No.5, Signal Procedure 1942 or the later Radio Telephony 1943 + part 2 Morse Telegraphy. (Oh, and Pamphlet 8, Signal Office Working (1942 and 1944).

(Yes, it gets complicated!)

Best regards,

Chris.
