    Swedish telephone (ca. 1896) with the hand crank of the magneto on the right side. Manual telephones for local battery station service in magneto exchanges were equipped with a hand-cranked magneto generator to produce an alternating voltage to alert the central office operator, or to ring the bells of other telephones on the same (party) line.

  4. Telephone magneto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_magneto

    A telephone magneto is a hand-cranked electrical generator that uses permanent magnets to produce alternating current from a rotating armature. In early telegraphy , magnetos were used to power instruments, while in telephony they were used to generate electrical current to drive electromechanical ringers in telephone sets and activate signals ...
