Marconiscope Control Lever
The Marconiscope Control Lever is a sturdy metallic armature, positioned adjacent to the radio telescope's console. It is pulled by Laurence Scarman to complete the electrical circuit, triggering a sudden spark and billow of smoke when connected improperly. The lever's smooth handle contrasts with the machine's rough industrial framework, making its activation the only overtly manual action in the procedure.
