  Description
  Also this apparatus is an accessory of the rotary apparatus. It is formed by four brass disks with pointed isosceles gear teeth in numbers of 80, 60, 50, 40, fitted on the same axe that ends with a cone.
  If the wheels rotate with a uniform motion, by drawing a thin cardboard near the gear teeth, we have vibrations proportional to the numbers 8, 6, 5, 4 and the corresponding sounds are perfectly tuned.
