Crova's apparatus was designed for the purpose of representing vibratory movements on the screen, with 8 disks. Turning the crank past a vertical slit caused the disks to rotate, while a beam of light from the optical system impinged on the slit...
"This unique piece of apparatus uses Lissajous figures to show that the ratio of the frequency ratios in a diatonic scale are ratios of small numbers. On the side is an air-driven vibrating reed with a small mirror attached to its free end....

The Ruhmkorff induction coil consists of two separate coils of wire one inside the other wound around a cylinder with a central core of soft iron rods. When a current is passed through the first primary coil, current is induced in the secondary...

This image is one of the earliest images of Mission Santa Clara and Santa Clara College. The adobe wall extends from the Baptistry to the arch of old gate to Major Domo Ignacio Alviso's headquarters. The building at right, known as California...
This instrument allowed water to be heated to a temperature higher than boiling point at atmospheric pressure, resulting in considerably high pressure inside. Papin designed a model of a digester in 1680 that allowed a piston inside a cylinder to...
A hydrometer measures the specific gravity of a liquid relative to water. Nicolson's hydrometer differs from other hydrometers in being totally submerged in use.
