DOORBELL, Electric

H1989.881

Two guages both marked 'PART No 190/1920' are attached to the top of a wooden board. Below them is a tongue shaped metal backing. On top of this is a square plastic box marked 'G.E.C' with a thumbscrew on top and a donger projects from the bottom. Below this is a large bell with a nut on top. At the back of the board are four bolt ends, each with a nut and washer attached. Two pieces of wire covered in red cloth binding go to the outer nut, from the top of the board. One piece of green covered wire comes out of a hole next to the red wire but is not attached anywhere. Most of the back of the wood has been hollowed.
