Stock tickers are telegraphs that printed real-time financial information. Edison made several improvements to these devices; he was interested in finding a way to synchronize multiple units. This model contains a unison stop device that allowed all stock tickers in a circuit to be brought into phase with a stock ticker in a central office.
