Resumen de Apparatus Named After Our Academic Ancestors—VI

Jr. Thomas B. Greenslade

  • When the fifth of my articles bearing the same title as this one arrived in April 2021, I looked at all of them and discovered that I had discussed apparatus named after 24 of our earlier colleagues! Who had I left out? After a bit of thought, I thought of Lloyd’s mirror, Faraday’s bag, Hope’s apparatus, Volta’s cannon and pistol, and Dewar’s “dewar.” Of course, there was Snell’s “law,” but that was stretching it too far! Since 2002, I have been writing page fillers for the American Journal of Physics, each consisting of a picture and a 100-word caption. About 800 of these have appeared to date. Therefore, I turned to them and found more than three score more names of physicists and their apparatus. Here are five of them.
