Telegraph Key &
Sounder Plans
|
|
The
telegraph was the only long
distance instant communication
device until
radio and other means came
along. Railroads were always
the largest
users of the telegraph and
utilized them for more than a
century. The
railroads would have had a
very hard time operating
safely and
efficiently without them.
The
full size plans will allow you
to make an exact replica of the
key and
sounder. The photo above is the
"real thing" antique originals.
The
originals were made in a time
when quality was of prime
importance and
esthetics ran a close second!
These instruments were made of
brass and
steel, as were all manner of
other types of instruments. You
will want
to make yours of these materials
as well.
You can make an operating set,
or as non-operating shelf
models. Either
way, you can make them full size
or reduce the size for really
neat
items to put in your curio
cabinet or as a unique desk
ornament set.
The plans set consists of 10
sheets of drawings.
