35 MEV BETATRON
... Streets The University of Melbourne Parkville melbourne Caption ...35 Million electron volt betatron, manufactured by Siemens, was purchased through the initiative of Professor Brian Spicer (then Director of Nuclear Physics Research, SoP) in 1962. It became the basis of a large research program of photonuclear physics research finally coming to completion in 1986. Of the two “magnets”, the one for external electron beam was scrapped, the other “reprocessed” in the SoP workshop during 2003. This involved the removal of most of the iron laminations to reduce the wieght, and which were replaced by wood to simulate the magnet “yoke” ; glamorised with colour to highlight the coils etc. At the time of writing it is proposed to locate it on the south-east corner of the Physics Podium.Caption describing the object mounted on base. -

Konig's apparatus for the analysis of sound
... Streets The University of Melbourne Parkville melbourne Apparatus ...Apparatus to analyse the harmonic upper partials of c. Apparatus consists of 8 Helmhotz resonators (one missing) tuned to the upper harmonics of c. Each of the 8 resonators is connected with a manometric flame. All the manometric flames are observed by means of the rotating mirror. When a sound strikes the apparatus containing a tone to which one of the resonators is tuned, the image of the corresponding manometric flame is resolved by the rotating mirror into a series of separate images. The apparatus corresponds to a modern fourier spectrum analyser. -
