Revolving Armature EngineEntry/Object ID
2013.3.69Description
The center figure shows this engine. One of the horizontal bars on the armature is missing. We have no data on the name of the maker or of the purchase, but it is described in Benj. Pike's 1848 catalogue. This engine and magnetic beam engine (Figure 65) are examples of simple apparatus designed to show the relationships of magnetism and electricity.
The other two instruments in Figure 64 also are designed to show similar principles. They apparently were made by the same maker as is evidenced by the sameness of the wooden bases.Collection
