NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY
Your Scout Group can complete
every project and can gain a valuable
science background. Your meetings
will be EXCITING AND EDUCATIONAL!
ELECTRICAL EXPERIMENTS
Educational fun with Electro-Magnets,
Transformer, Galvanometer. Rheo-
stat, Relay, Voltmeter, Wheatstone
Bridge, and other electric equipment.
PHOTOELECTRIC EYE
Photoelectric Cell, Exciter lamp —
and Electronic Relay. Everything you
need to control motors, bells, alarms,
and do other light beam experiments.
CODE PRACTICE SET
Signal Oscillator, Key and Flasher
... the complete outfit to learn to
receive and transmit the Morse Code
... the first step to a Ham License.
RADIO SERVICE EQUIPMENT
All the parts to build your own
Radio Signal Tracer and a Probe
Light Continuity Tester. Both pieces
are invaluable in radio servicing.
PHOTOGRAPHY LAB
Complete dark room equipment:
Printer — Enlarger — Electronic Timer
— Safe Light — Developing Trays
and supply of poper and chemicals.
SPECTROSCOPE
Fascinating optical instrument used
to identify and analyze substances
by observing the spectrum of their
flame. Spectrum charts are included.
ULTRAVIOLET LAMP
Produce dazzling color effects with
invisible "black light". Used extensive-
ly for crime detection, mineralogy
and science. Fluorescent Ink, Crayon
and Tracer Powder are included.
RADIO RECEIVER
Three Tube Short Wove (80 Meter) and
Standard Broadcast Receiver. Sensitive
Regenerative Circuit uses regular 115
volt AC. Complete with Head Set.
MICROPHONE
A sensitive carbon-button micro-
phone that greatly amplifies unsus-
pected noise. Also adaptable for
use with your radio transmitter.
STROBE LIGHT
A variable pulse neon lamp.
"Freezes" motion of rapidly vibrat-
ing or rotating objects for close
study and checking frequencies, RPM.
SOUND EXPERIMENTS
Laboratory demonstration of sound
waves, resonance and pitch. Includes
Variable Frequency Oscillator,
Sonometer and Ripple Tank.
SLIDE PROJECTOR
Takes 16mm and 35mm slides, sharp
focusing, convection cooled. G.E.
Projection Lamp included. Also ad-
aptable as a Projection Microscope.
DC POWER SUPPLY
Power Transformer, Vacuum Tube
Rectifier and 20-20 mfd. Capacitor
Filter Circuit. Converts home AC to
the DC required for Electronic Circuits.
ELECTRONIC EXPERIMENTS
Explore functions of vacuum tubes
and other electronic components.
Build an Electronic Switch—Ampli-
fier, and other experimental circuits.
BROADCAST TRANSMITTER
Sends clear transmissions of both
code and voice to nearby radios.
Can be used with your microphone,
record player, or code oscillator.
TELESCOPE
A mounted astronomical Telescope.
High quality ground Lenses enable
you to examine details of the
moon's surface and distant objects.
MICROSCOPE
High and low power, precision
ground Lenses, Substage Light and
Polarizer. Adaptable for photomicrog-
raphy in connection with Photo Lab.
ATOMIC RADIATION EXPM. ATOMIC CLOUD CHAMBER
A variety of projects using Spin-
thariscope and sensitive Electroscope.
Sample sources of radioactive Ura-
nium Ore and Radium are included.
HEAT EXPERIMENTS
Study the Molecular Theory of heat
using 2 Thermometers, Thermostat,
3 foot Gas Thermometer and special
Microscope arrangement that shows
the effect of Molecular Movement.
See illuminated tracks of speeding
nuclear particles emanating from ra-
dioactive Alpha source and myster-
ious cosmic rays from outer space.
