bell pull

A device once used to summon servants in an elegant home; in each room, the bell pull consisted of a small handle connected to a wire that was mechanically connected to a bell in the servants’ quarters. Thus, a pull on the handle rang a bell in the servants’ quarters; each bell pull produced a sound of different pitch, identifying the room calling for service.
