The bell can also be stopped by short circuiting the relay, which can be effected by an ordinary push.

The dividing line can be lowered by allowing it to run a buzzer or bell for a few hours, or by simply short-circuiting it.

Our plug was short circuiting, the coil was gone plumb crazy, and most of the Atlantic Ocean seemed to be in the carburetor.
