Ship captains use the Engine Order Telegraph to communicate with the engineers of their ships. This device allowed captains to choose their desired speed and quickly communicate with the men responsible for keeping the engines going.
Constructed from brass with a beautifully polished wooden base, this telegraph is a stunning reproduction of the early Chadburn telegraph models. It is approximately 18" high with a 7" diameter face. It features a functioning lever that when pulled, makes a clear chime sound.
This Engine Order Telegraph will make a great addition to any nautical collection.
