Instruments For Natural Philosophy

I stumbled upon this site quite by accident and a fantastic site it is. Compiled by Thomas B. Greenslade, Jr, this site is composed of images and short descriptions of over 1800 historical physics teaching devices culled from nearly 70 collection. It is like a catalog to the greatest science exhibit that never was. This has been an ongoing project since the mid 70's and it shows. I have found endless inspiration paging through the collection.
