* Historically Significant
The original key was used by Morse in his 1844 demonstration which became the reference for key designs over many years and has changed little to this day.
* The KENT Replica
Is based on the original key displayed in the Smithsonian Institute and Vail's own documentation. Polished brass, steel and wood make this a real showpiece. This is an extremely close reproduction of Alfred Vail's straight key of circa 1844/45. This was designed by him to facilitate easier adjustment of the gap and to have spring tension.
* Base: 53mm X 166mm / 2.1" X 6.53"
