 The image below is an ancient clockwork "Morse code" style Grinnell fire alarm that predates common telephone use. These were wired in series, daisy chain style, and when the alarm went off it range the bells in different patterns. Firemen would look up the ring pattern (short, short, long, short... for example) to know where to go. The "key" (Morse code style) was used for on-site signalling like "All Clear" or "Send Help". Picture taken by our "head geek" of a scrapper friends found fire alarm.  The image below is an ancient clockwork "Morse code" style Grinnell fire alarm that predates common telephone use.
