DES after POUILLET,Claude,Servais,Mathias. 1839 Paris, France. This instrument is a low resistance astatic mirror galvanometer of the Thom-Gray type with 4 independently wired coils with a compensating magnet. It is unsigned and has a hand made soldered brass framed glass casing. There is a typical J. White spirit bubble level on the base which is designed for a glass dome and not the extant home made square case. Part of the brass frame is missing and a temporary repair has been attempted by someone using fuse wire. This instrument is not an "early" astatic galvanometer as described by Green and Lloyd since this type was first reported by Thom and Gray to the Royal Society in 1884. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | SCIENTIFIC COLLECTION : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
