Is the rate detemined by mass at the end of the swinging armature?

Ours is 120 (Armature swings twice per second.)
Inspected R.S. 4-16-51

Temporarily running on a 9-voltransistoradio battery.
Plan to find a wall outlet power supply and place a small light bulb beneath the top to illuminate the armature and precision contacts.

Thank you.

Now happily swinging on a 9 VDC 300mA plug-in wall power supply for something.
Looking for a light bulb to mount below the top to illuminate the armature and contacts.
Will the light bulb's intensity be varied by the Code Transmitter's coils?
Metal nameplate reads 8-12 Volts
