Info

As a crank is turned, three sets of dots oscillate to show three types of wave motion: transverse, longitudinal, and composite (transverse + longitudinal, or “ocean” waves). This machine is an antique. The transverse dots are labeled “Ether Waves” - the patent for this apparatus was filed in 1905.
