Summary
DescriptionThomson mirror galvanometer.jpg
Drawing of a Thomson reflecting galvanometer from around 1900. Tom Perera's Scientific instrument collection says it was Model 502, made by Elliot Bros., London. The vertical tube contains a fine silk fiber, which suspends a 1/2 in. mirror with small magnets on its back, seen in window, in the center of a coil of wire. A light beam reflected from the mirror lands on a scale and serves as a pointer. It has interchangeable coils of from 150 to 5000 ohms resistance. Alterations: removed caption, rotated image so it was vertical.
