Excerpt: 

Telegraph Keys possess both historical value as well as aesthetic appeal. As more keys find their way to collectors, fewer are available for the rest of us to see. This display and the links provided will hopefully allow all who wish to enjoy seeing them. Please visit as often as you like and tell your friends about our website. Thanks in advance for coming and for any suggestions you have for future

Annotation: 

A photographic collection of different telegraph keys used over time. Narration tracks development and innovations in the types of keys and their effect on users and communication. Site indicates it was last updated in late 2004.
