1960s Telegraph Measuring Instrument

Item Details

According to the Bell System in 1962, this instrument was used ‘for measuring distortion in start-stop telegraph signals’. It took the signals from a teletypewriter and ‘measured their speed and the number of elements per character’. A teletypewriter had the keyboard of a typewriter, a printer and a transmitter. Messages were sent over the wires or radio waves. The instrument in this lot helped the telephone company measure distortions from the telegraph systems. The cords are not present. This item is used.
