A slight correction - that would have been a foot pedal from the IBM
"Executary" line.
Dictaphone was another competing company.
Yes, that is a heavy duty footswitch. I also use one for PTT.

40 years ago, I found a foot pedal for an early IBM Dictaphone at a flea
market. It has a switch in it that allowed the stenographer to press either
side to go backwards or forward when typing the recorded dictation. I wired
both sides together so pressing either side completed the circuit. It is 4'
x 4", made of metal, heavy and has been in use for 40 years. Bob, K9ING
