Experimental equipment to test electrical conductivity in a vacuum mb-code 584DA Framed as if on individualPlate 9 figures 1 2 from the paper 'Electrical experiments made in order to ascertain the non conducting power of a perfect vacuum', by William Morgan, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, vol. 75 (1785), pp. 272 278. Figure 1 shows a 15 inch mercury gauge partially coated with tin foil, emptied of air and inverted into a mercury cistern.
