Electric Bell




Two early applications of the electric bell were the Telephone and Doorbell . Early telephones used electric bells to indicate that there was an incoming call. Doorbells were used by visitors to indicate their presence at the external door of a dwelling or business. Though still in use, the electric bell mechanisms in both telephones and doorbells now compete with non-mechanical noisemaking technologies including Digitally Recorded sounds played back through a speaker.
