—one of the sidewalk lamps used
around Elon some years back and
now hanging here as a keepsake.
To the right of this is an x-ray
machine. There are other x-ray
machines throughout the depart

dents’ experimentations.
Back into the hall again, I see

isn’t. It’s an automatically-wound

classroom clocks and at predeter

Also in this room, in addition
to a giant camera, part of an x-
ray machine, an amplifier for a
motion picture projector, a baro
graph, a homemade resistance
unit, and a vast variety of other
instruments, is a Helms-Holtz Sta
tic Machine, This gizmo. I'm told,
is used to make lightning and
thunder—the kind not predicted
by the Physics Department's wea
ther station.
To one side is the most unusual
display case I’ve ever seen. It’s
white with very fancy woodwork
all trimmed in gold, with a large
mirror leaning toward the front.
"This cabinet is about 50 years
old,” Professor Hook notes. “Once
upon a time it was a unit in an
odl-!ype soda ^hop”
The room connecting the office
to the hall is equally as full of
gadgets. On top of a case of five
shelves of books on every imag
inable phase of physics or math-
matics sits a tube wound tightly
with shining copper wire, “That
is a modem-design Telsa Coil,
which produces high frequencey
current. If you stand back here.”
directs the professor, "and hold
a fluorescent lube, the coil will
cause h to light.”
Among the devices on the oppo
site shelf is an old-type, inside ra
dio aerial. And then more gadgets,
instruments, and machines.
I see them all until, if I’d known
■them apart to begin with, I would-
