I think that does Mr. Faraday a disservice. What you suggest is only partly possible although I have a length of multicore so I can display them. RN telegraphs have no DS or FWE. Slow is defined, Full is shit or bust, Half refers the engine room to some sort of different contraption for selecting speeds between Slow and SoB (I think a military gent posted that here some where).

What is stranger is that the RN ones when they appear are affordable yet there must be many fewer of them than merchant telegraphs which remain in the ridiculous bracket.

Correction info was by PM from SH's Tomvart, gratefully received (they do not have 'standby' either)
