The stroboscope of Engineer Defraine


I found this stroboscope while visiting secondhand trades, for a few euros. A little of elbow grease to clean it and it's all. The apparatus is very simple: an electric motor with a rheostat to adjust speed. This engine turns at the same time the JAEGER speed counter and the bell placed at the rear. The bell has a slit for the light, which gives the stroboscopic effect. You will notice that this model is the 1826th, which shows that it was manufactured to several thousands of specimens.

The fastening of the light source has disappeared. There remains the pins, visible on the back of the apparatus, which were used to support this device
