Chadburns and Crosbie Revolution Telegraph

Chadburns and Crosbie Revolution Telegraph

When it came to marine instrumentation of the 20th century Crosbie was regarded by many to be the very best… judging by the weight, feel & the strong clunky mechanism I agree.
This is a Chadburns pattern of Revolution Telegraph made under license by Crosbie & Son
Montreal branch for the Canadian Navy
In perfect working order, turning the heavy bronze wheel is a free and easy clunking action punctuated with a loud and clear strike of a bell housed inside. A very nice tone, if you want to hear it give us a call
