VERTICAL ELECTROMAGNETIC TUNING FORK


  Function
  To obtain a persistent sound with a determined frequency.
   Maker:  
Max Hohl - Chemnitz  
    Price:   L 58,8     Purchase date: 1908

  Description
  The apparatus is formed by a electromagnet and a tuning fork. Both are parts of the same circuit.
  When we insert a cell in the circuit and close it, the electromagnet attracts one of the prongs causing the circuit to open. The prong returns to its initial position closing the circuit so that it is attracted again by the electromagnet and so on...
