English: Diagram to illustrate the operation of a polarized telegraph relay: n s is a hard steel permanent magnet, whose south end, s, has a slit in which the soft iron armature a is pivoted. To this armature a thin aluminum tongue, b, is attached, which by making contacts on either side completes either of two local circuits, and operates either of two sounders, according to which side the tongue is attracted. The coils on the magnet are so connected that a positive current attracts the tongue to one side, while a negative current attracts it to the other.
