2357A
A magneto bell (1000ohm resistance), specially constructed for use in installations where a loud and silent call is desired, and which can be heard over a considerable distance if necessary. The bell is protected by a cast iron cover, and the entire assembly is mounted on a solid metal frame. Several of these bells can be placed in the same circuit by using a magnetic generator whose voltage is appropriate for the number of bells to be operated simultaneously and for the resistance of the line through which the current must pass.

Nickel-plated metal bell gongs No. 2222A, 175 mm in diameter.

Net weight: approx. 3.9 kg.






2358A
A magneto bell identical to No. 2357A, but with bell gongs No. 2223A, 150mm in diameter.

Net weight: approx. 3.5 kg.


 
2359A
A magneto bell identical to No. 2357A, but with bell gongs No. 2227A, 127mm in diameter.
