Authentic Grey DIC Console Mounted Engine Order Telegraph

This is an authentic grey DIC console-mounted engine order telegraph. These were used to relay commands from the pilot to the engine room. Unlike free-standing models, this version mounts directly to a console or wall, making it easier to install in tighter spaces.

We salvaged this unit and mounted it to a wood base. It now works well as a display piece for a home, office, or nautical collection.

Features:

• Grey metal housing with original wear from shipboard use
• Console-mounted style, more compact than standard telegraphs
• Mounted to a wood base for easier display
• Original scale reads: Stop – Start 0 to 10

The numbers on the dial would have corresponded to a chart explaining each setting. This piece adds a real sense of history to any space.
