Mercier 24/48 Line Set

(click on picture for high resolution image)
This set was made by Murry Mercier Jr. and
Sr. in late 1928. It has two disks, each about 12 inches in
diameter, which can be interchanged. One is for 24 line
transmissions, the other for 48 lines. You can see this receiver in
this photo.

A view of from the top of the unit (viewing side of the set
is toward the top of the picture). In the top compartment is the
motor, connected to a knife switch of the right side, which changes
the motor's rotation direction. Just below the wooden divider is the
disk. Below the disk is a transformer which supplies the power to the motor. |
