- Description
- Max Kohl, an important German instrument manufacturer, termed this small demonstration device a “Transverse Wave Machine for the Projection Lantern.” This example came from the Department of Physics at the University of Alabama. The “Max Kohl Chemnitz” inscription on the base suggests that this was made before 1908, when the firm began trading as Max Kohl A.G.
