The Ericsson Model 1951 is featured on the following page(s) of this website.

Wireless Easy Chair   WEC
In 1960, the Dutch Radar Laboratory (NRP) in Noordwijk developed a covert listening device (bug) for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), that used an existing analogue telephone set for eavesdropping on a conversation in a room.

This was done by connecting the WEC device shown in the image on the right at a so-called tapping point and injecting a strong RF signal. It was tested on a Heemaf 1955 and an Ericsson 1951, and works even when the set is on-hook.
