Integrated Globe Apparatus

Integrated Globes Apparatus

The globes are brushed aluminum and the stand stainless steel .

The globes’ dimensions are identical as is their internal configuration.

The apparatus is designed to measure transparency of substances.

A lever lowers the sprung lower globe to allow a thin specimen

of the test substance to be placed over an aperture

between the two globes and release of the lever fixes the specimen in position.

On switching on the light a meter indicates how much light passes from one globe to the

Other which then gives a measure of transparency.

American patents, otherwise only name is ‘Sud’ Probably c. 1960

We have not seen one of these before but nobody visits us without

remarking on this striking apparatus.

A wonderful show item
