What you describe so far makes sense.
When using a dipole for SW (they probably had such a model of antenna) it would have been connected to the two antenna leads. But when using a single wire feed you would normally connect the antenna/black to ground. Some radios (RCA for one) used a terminal strip with a link jumper to facilitate this.
