• Resumen

  • My attic is actually on the main floor of my 1857 house in Gambier, Ohio. The treasures that it contains are some of the 800 pieces of apparatus that my friends in physics have given to me since the year 2000 to preserve and protect. Many of the artifacts I treasure because of their beauty; indeed, some of them were used in an exhibit in the Kenyon Art Gallery. The ones I most value are those with intrinsic scientific value. In this article, I will discuss some of the ones that could be revived and used today in the lecture hall and laboratory room.
