This is very much a long-shot; I am looking for information about a machine that could well be pre-war.

My late was an MCSP in the UK and practiced throughout the 50s into the early 60s from his surgery which was the front room in our house.

As a small child I was fascinated by the equipment he had in there, particularly the faradism machine, and I suddenly have the urge to find out more about it!

The machine was a large (to a child's eyes) console and the distinctive thing about it was the mechanism that rhythmically surged the current.
This was housed behind a glass fronted door in the machine and was a glass flask, or bottle filled with some electrolyte into which a plunger
moved up and down The bottle looked like a Coca-Cola bottle if I remember correctly.

I would like to find an image of this machine perhaps on some Web museum site, has anyone got any suggestions?

TIA,
Graham.
