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.
