  • Notes
  • One of the first products of the American Marconi Company was this "Roadmap" Spark Key. c. 1912. Has a 'mud' (electrose) base. This spark key was nicknamed the "roadmap" because of the conductors traced out on its base like a map. There are at least 2 different variations of the Roadmap Key. This variation was the Type C key supplied with the Type P-4 2 KW Panel set, the P-5 1/2 KW set, and the P-9 1/4 KW set.
