The telautograph, an analog precursor to the modern fax machine, transmits electrical impulses recorded by potentiometers at the sending station to servomechanisms attached to a pen at the receiving station, thus reproducing at the receiving station a drawing or signature made by the sender. It was the first such device to transmit drawings to a stationary sheet of paper;

  • possibly EE-49, evidently their was an outdoor version, and indoor version. the outdoor in a steel box.
  • EE-50, transmitter
  • EE-51, receiver PL-31, SO-11
  • M-81, table 20-In. X 37-In. can hold transmitter signal bell and large SO-11 socket.
  • FT-61, iron bracket to hold transmitter
  • FT-62, hanger iron rod W/hook on one end ?
  • TM-59, terminal block
  • TM-60 junction box, 8-binding posts
