In this museum you will find numerous one of a kind items dating from as far back as 1860. Most of the items are being researched. Most of the pictures lead to much larger photos. Patience with phone lines is needed. I have done this in order that the items can be fully examined by those individuals who desire to see the details.

"Electric Theory of Matter"

Very interesting, it chronicles the questions that plagued physicists about the turn of the (previous) century
static generator
Crookes Radiometer
Article from 1898
Psychical Research
By Sir William Crookes
Crookes's contributions to science were overshadowed by his belief in spiritualism. This is his vehement rebuttal to his detractors.

Please pardon me for all translation errors.

The original technical notes are German and English mixed. The translation of complex technical writing to and from another language has been a formidable task. The decision to build a German half of the site was driven by the amount of notes in that language. I wished to place these notes (Tube Museum, Tube Technical notes, and Basel Amateur Radio History) up for public viewing. As this site is built some pages will be displayed as generated by the Babylon and Systran Translators. All pages will eventually be reviewed and updated but this is a slow process. Patience is therefore required to read some pages.
There is a dictionary that I will be contributing specific words I come across to. It can be accessed at:
