Magneto Desk Telephones
The above are stocked fully equipped as follows:- The Circuits are wired to our Standard Bridging, Bridging Silent Ring, or Bridging Sure Ring, as illustrated below and these, as in our other Sets, can be changed over from one to the other by the simplest possible means. MAGNETO DESK SET, compete, is shown to the right. Magneto Desk Stand
The Hook Lever is attached to the body stamping by a spring, a simple pressure on which allows the two to come apart immediately. The lever can be permanently fixed by merely pushing home, but it cannot be removed without taking the Set apart. The Receiver and Desk Cords connected to the Desk Stand are passed through a bushed hole in the Base Cover thus preventing undue wear by coming in contact with the sharp edge of the steel. In concluding this description we would lay stress upon the fact that no part of the framework of this Desk Stand forms part of the electrical circuit. STAND DESK only Generator Box These are made in two sizes, one to take a 3-Magnet Generator, and the other to accommodate a 4 or 5-Magnet Generator. We do not propose to schedule or describe the details, as both Cabinet Work and Apparatus are identical with that employed in the "Shortphone" with the exception that the Transmitter, Receiver, and Hook Switch are omitted, these being mounted on the Desk Stand. The Standard Woodwork is American Black Walnut, but when required for
tropical climates this can be supplied in Teak of similar appearance to the "Tropical"
Set and equipped with the same apparatus. Circuits

The picture illustrates the Peel-Conner Desk Set which consists of our
standard Desk Stand connected to a Generator Box (which can be mounted on either
side of the desk) by a three - conductor cord. This instrument differs
considerably from the ordinary run of Magneto Desk Telephones, inasmuch as the
Generator, Ringer and Induction Coil are separately housed in a box which can be
moved and fixed at will. This leaves the Desk Stand itself very light, and quite
easy to move from place to place.
We
beg to draw particular attention to the neat appearance of this Instrument. The
Pillar is made of heavy gauge Steel Tube absolutely uniform in contour, the Base
Cover is of finest pressed steel, and the Base itself of cast iron, the whole
being finished with a special enamel of glossy surface, which will neither chip
nor flake under the roughest usage. The Transmitter is of our standard solid
back type mounted on a Knuckle Joint which is capable of adjustment to suit the
height of the person using the instrument. The Hook Switch and Terminals are
mounted on a mild steel stamping, heavily zinc-plated to prevent rusting, the
stamping being secured to the base by a special screw which cannot be removed.
To view the contents, merely loosen this screw, and lift the Transmitter
upwards.
