Apparatus for demonstrating elasticity of a spring or wire
Apparatus for demonstrating the elasticity of a spring or wire. The material to be investigated could be stretched and screwed between plates attached to the two prominent ends nearly three feet apart. When weights were added, they move the test material downwards, which moved the index finger over the dial. This apparatus was made by George Adams of Fleet Street, instrument maker to king George III.
