#A501. Zoellner Astrophotometer.# The instrument is made to attach to the
eye end of the telescope and may be used with any size of refractor or
reflector. An axis parallel to the telescope tube allows the instrument to
rotate as a whole. A clamp is provided to hold it in position. The
artificial star is formed by a small incandescent lamp which is adjustable
in any direction, and in front of which is mounted a small diaphragm. The
color changing device, consisting of Nicol prism and quartz plate, is
fitted with a divided circle reading to single degrees. The circle
revolving with the Nicol prism for changing the intensity of the star, has
a diameter of 14 cm. and reads by means of two verniers to 6 min. A concave
lens is mounted in the path of the artificial star to make the light
diverging at the proper angle and a plane parallel plate is adjustably
fixed in the center of the box in order to throw the light in the eye
piece. An achromatic objective in front of the eye piece brings the images
of the real and artificial star to a focus in the same plane.
Price #$150.00#

#A601. Small Spectroscope.# Suitable for telescope from 3 to 6 in.
aperture. The collimator and observing telescope have an aperture of 25
mm., focus of 200 mm. Both are fitted with rack and pinion. The
spectroscope may be used with a grating or a 60 degree prism, and for this
purpose has openings for the telescopes at the proper angles. A position
circle of 75 mm. diameter, reading to degrees, is fitted to the instrument.
The slit has micrometer head.
Price, without grating, but including 60 degree prism #$75.00#
#Note.#--This spectroscope can also be used on a support for laboratory
work.
#Support# for above spectroscope. Price #$4.50#
#A602. Spectroscope# for telescopes from 6 in. to 18 in. aperture and
detailed description on application.

#A701. Chronograph# for physical and astronomical work. This chronograph is
designed to meet the demand for a medium sized, well-made and accurate
instrument of this kind and has given very good satisfaction. The cylinder
is 15 cm. in diameter 25 cm. long, driven by strong, carefully made clock
work, fitted with friction governor. Two different speeds for the cylinder
can be obtained by means of change gears. The slow speed of the drum is one
revolution per minute, and at this speed the drum will run for a full hour.
The fast speed is 30 seconds per revolution. The carriage is driven by
means of a screw, the nut of which is made to disengage easily.
Price of the instrument complete with two pens and glass cover #$225.00#
#A701a. Chronograph#, the same as A701 but with only one pen. The carriage
is so constructed that a second pen can easily be added later. Price with
glass cover #$195.00#
