This black-and-white technical drawing depicts a classic Morse telegraph key mounted on a wooden base, with alphanumeric labels (a-g, x, D, F) identifying critical components such as the lever arm, contact points, spring tension mechanism, and mounting screws. The illustration emphasizes functional design-showing how pressing the key completes a circuit to send signals via Morse code. Hatching indicates material depth and structural layers, typical of engineering schematics from the late 1800s to early 1900s.
