Canada
PART OF A COLLECTION OF PHYSICS LABORATORY AND CLASSROOM DEMONSTRATION APPARATUS FROM MCMASTERUNIVERSITY. FOUNDED IN 1887 MCMASTER WAS ORIGINALLY A BAPTIST INSTITUTION, AND WAS LOCATED IN TORONTO. IN 1930 THE UNIVERSITY AND ITS STUDENT POPULATION OF 500 WAS MOVED TO HAMILTON, ONT. (REF. 1)
Function
USED WITH OTHER EQUIPMENT TO ANALYSE SOUNDS, FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES IN A CLASSROOM OR LABORATORY.
Technical
WOODEN ORGAN PIPES FITTED WITH OUTLETS FOR MANOMETRIC FLAMES. IN HIS MANOMETRIC FLAME APPARATUS, KOENIG USED A TUBE TO TRANSMIT SOUND TO A MEMBRANE, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF WHICH A GAS SUPPLY FED A JET. VARIATIONS IN SOUND PRESSURE WERE TRANSMITTED TO THE FLAME, WHICH JERKED UP AND DOWN ACCORDING TO THE NATURE OF THE SOUNDS RECEIVED. A CUBE OF MIRRORS WAS POSITIONED NEARBY, TO MAKE THE FLAME SHAPE MORE CLEARLY VISIBLE TO ALL OBSERVERS. (REF. 3) THE PIPES ARE PART OF A SET, PRODUCING TONES RE 3, MI 3, FA 3, SOL 3 (?), LA 3 AND UT 4 (MIDDLE C TO A, AND HIGH C.); PRESUMABLY A COMPLETE SET REPRODUCED THE FULL OCTAVE OF 9 TONES.
