Standard Pony Telegraph Relay manufactured between 1900 and 1910 and listed in the MESCO 1905 catalog for use as burglar alarm for a given length of telegraph line. The list price is between $3.00 and $4.00 depending on the coil resistance. MESCO states that the relay uses much less power to operate than a sounder of similar resistance. A resistance measurement was imposible as this device has a break in the coil windings.

This lamp was used by Prof George L. Pierce while studying at Oberlin and given to the museum by Wayne and Clara Denny. Grinnell students used oil or gas lamps until the mid 1890’s.
