That isa very great compliment to the inven-tive genius of Morse, for he appears tohave <levised a perfect key when thetelegraph instrument was first designed. tion to the rocker arm by means of atransmission bar. This bar is suspendedby a hanger in front of the link, andthe link block pin is about midway be-tween hanger and rocker arm. The engine is built to round sharpcurves, the gauge
