MESCO Pony Telegraph Relay
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.
