a human male. The chart, over four feet in height and two feet in width,
currently hangs in a large wooden frame. Various parts of the body are
numbered, although no descriptions are found on the chart.

Skeleton of a small child. Is this skeleton real or a
model? If it is real, then some of the tissues were preserved. Note the
diaphram, ears, eyes, etc. The skelton is about 2'4" long.
These two small human figures (male) are merely 10"
in height. Made of plaster, both show some damage due to the passage of
time. Both figures depict the human muscular system.
Skull was used for teaching gross anatomy.

Resting on a wooden tripod with supporting center leg,
this unknown apparatus is possibly some sort of magnetic or electrical field
generator, induced by the layer of red wires encompassing the hollow metal
sphere suspended on the stand. This sphere also has the letters 'N' and 'S'
written on opposite sides. Four glass rods (5" long, 1" in diameter)
descend on each of four corners of the wooden platform. The metal sphere
can be spun on a horizontal axis.
Unknown apparatus 7" tall. The inner brass circle spins
freely on a vertical axis.
Standard Scientific Co. N.Y. 9" tall.
2.25" by 1" by 2.5" This unknown apparatus is made of
wood, the use is unknown. There are 2 separate spinning systems, one
vertical and one horizontal. The horizontal system spins a raised metal
disc 9.5" in diameter.
No Description.
The mandibles measure approximately 10'3" from tip to
tip, not accounting for curvature.
Used for distillation. The smaller distort measures
5" in height, while the larger is 14" high and has a 15" beak.
This example of a steam engine stands 6.5" tall and
spins on a vertical axis. It was made in Germany.

These two devices show the passage of an electrical
charge. The charge jumps between the gaps between the pieces of foil
making up the spirals within the column and the discharge of the current
causes the pinwheel flyer to turn. They were used in conjunction with the
static electricity machines.
A condensor which could be charged with a static
electric generator.
Storage spheres for static electricity demonstration.
When charged (using a static electricity generator) sparks would jump from
sphere to sphere.
- The possible barometer stands a little over 20". It
has an engraving reading:
Manufactured by Ziegler Elec. Co.
Boston, Mass, U.S.A.
- The possible magnet stands about 9.5". The two coils rotate freely
around the columns they rest on, the center piece rotates and moves freely
up and down. This piece is also missing a leg.
- The two identical lenses are 4" in diameter.
- The small mirror is 2" in diameter.
- The big lens in about 4.5" in diameter.
- The jar stands 6.75" tall and has a liquid, possibly water, inside.
- The smaller case contains 12 slides with 4 circular
glass areas, each measures 3.5" in length. Only one of the slides is
labelled and it reads "Mulberry".
- The larger upright case contains 6 slides with 1 circular glass area, each
measures 4" in length. Several of these are labelled: Calci Spar, Topaz,
Quartz, Nitre, Borax, Arragonite.
- The box with a lid contains 29 green glass slides that have French
hand-writing on them, as well as 6 other slides. The lid of the box has
a piece of paper in it which appears to contain a listing of the slides in
French. In the bottom is a label which reads as follows:

- The larger thermometer measures 19", reads from
-15 to 125 degrees Farenheit, and contains mercury although it no longer
works.
- The smaller measures 11.5". The left side is labelled "Cold" and reads
from 60 at the top through 0 and down to 110. Thr right side is labelled
"Heat" and reads from 120 at the top through 0 and down to 60. The center
reads: "J. Hicks 8 9 & 10 Hutton Garden LONDON ENG".
This apparatus, measuring 13.5" by 21", has two
horizontal rods that can be moved in and out and rotated in place. The base
of the apparatus has a drawer.
No Description.
A model to illustrate Kepler's First and Second Laws
of planetary motion, measures 10' by 12'.
- A means of producing considerable quantities of
electricity. It consists of a cake of resin, which "upon being briskly
flapped with a catskin becomes charged with negative electricity." The
cover becomes positively charged. Invented by Volta.
- The teardrop shaped glass measures 10.25" tall.
- The glass surreounded by metal rods measures 8.25" tall.
- The other piece of glassware stands 8.25" and reads from 0 to 58 cubic
inches.
Each wheel of this apparatus has two inner layers and two
outer layers. The two outer layers spin together. The inner layers can be
spun seperately, but each has a small blocker on the edge. These blockers
can collide if the layers are spun far enough, causing them to stop
spinning. Each wheel has 8 sets of "teeth" scrapping the outer layers
possibly for conducting electricity.
This deer stands about 4.5' tall.
Stands 14" tall.
Stands about 12" tall. The platform can be unscrewed
from the supporting glass column.
Stands 12.5" tall. The tin roof can be removed, and the
wall is hinged allowing a jug to fall out.
- The possible generator is rich with what appears to be
battery acid. The crank of the device is busted off and the gears are
either rusted in place or the acid-type substance has completely clogged the
interior. The entire piece measures about 7.5" across.
- The glass pump-type device is 14" tall when compressed, and is made if
glass and wood.
- Unknown
Each of these apparatus, one standing 19" tall and the
other 12.5", is labelled from 0 to 90 to 0 to 90 and back to the original
0 around the outer edge of the circle. The vertical piece of circular
wood is wrapped with wire. The base of each has what appears to be electrodes.
One theory is that the devices measure electrical
currents.
Measures 6.5" in diameter. The directions are labelled
around the outer edge inside, that is N, S, E, W, etc.
The dulcimer is about 3'3" long and 1'3.5" deep. The
piece of wood behind the strings has two heart shaped holes through it.
The strings are labelled in standard format.
