Description: | Wooden box raised on two feet. The front of the box comes off when two brass clasps are opened. Inside is a copper pipe with one wide end. Coming out of the top is a thin pipe that curves over, one end being outside the box. There are two pipes coming out of the large pipe in the centre (the holes of which are visible in the top of the wooden box and are for thermometers) and at the end of the pipe there is a coil of metal connected to two metal tubes, each with a bung in the top (visible in the top of the wooden box) and a thin pipe in the bottom. The bungs are for holding thermometers to measure inlet and outlet water temperatures. There is also a pipe coming out of the bottom of the box. The pipe is protected by a hairy thermal insulating material. There is a small plaque on the top of the wooden box reading W. G. PYE & CO, CAMBRIDGE, ENGLAND. Equivalent of Forbes bar apparatus. | License: | http://www.abdn.ac.uk/historic/Copyright_terms_conditions.shtml | Publisher: | ABDNP University of Aberdeen, Natural Philosophy Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments | Rights holder: | 47718 | Temporal: | 1900-1960 | Source: | University of Aberdeen | Creator: | W.
