Description from L.A. Brown's 1959 catalog: "Several of our most elegant instruments and machines were made by Charles Chevalier of Paris and London. The particular apparatus in Figure 91 has been stamped with Chevalier's name and bears the additional notation "Deux Médailles D'or en 1834" and his Paris address. The egg-shaped forms on top of the horizontal platform are made in one piece, each has an insulated electrical contact knob extending from its side, and each is inserted in an opening in the platform. These brass forms can be removed and replaced only in the positions shown, but after having been inserted in the above positions (with the contacts pointing outwardly) they can be rotated freely. The mahogany base is stabilized, as was commonly done in such stands, by means of a heavy lead ring."Collection
