Learn something new every day - I thought all engine 'telegraphs' had the 'ring' to the engine room (noisy) so they could confirm an order and it rang back to the control room too. Hmmm. Thanks for the correction! (Such noise is undesirable during conflicts because it can give away a vessel's position.)
