These are two samples of early types of electroscopes of which there were several varieties. Figure 24 represents Bennett's Gold leaf electrometer, while Figure 25 is a condensing electrometer. Both of these are described by Robert Hare (Compendium of the Course in Chemistry etc., Phila., 1836).
Electroscopes such as these with wide flat canopies instead of knobs, also can be used as electrical condensers.
