Description
Offered for sale is a set of antique induction coil electrical apparatus probably dating to the late 19th or early 20th century. Induction coils were widely used in physics laboratories and educational settings in order to demonstrate inter alia electromagnetic induction for experimental/teaching purposes.
This apparatus is mounted on a mahogany folding base and features:
• moveable induction coils
• brass electrical terminals
• sliding scale with measurements
Such instruments were commonly used in scientific instruction and laboratory demonstrations during the early development of electrical science.
Condition:
Good antique condition with normal wear consistent with the age of the items.
The instruments appear complete with:
• original mahogany base
• induction coils
• brass terminals
Untested, assumed not working and therefore sold as collectable antique scientific instrument/curio – possible steampunk interest.
The instrument will be well wrapped for shipping.
Thanks for looking.
