Description:
A small standard metal box containing a web of transistors, resistors, and wires. No controls, just two connectors on the front and one on each end.
Signedunsigned
InscribedLabeled: NMR / VARIABLE / FREQUENCY SWEEP
FunctionIt is plausible that this may have been a much later and smaller version of the NMR's marginal oscillator (2004-1-0408), controlled by an electrical signal rather than a motor, but Wolf Rueckner had no recollection of ever having used the box in his time teaching Physics 191r.
Curatorial RemarksProbably lab-made.
ProvenanceCame together with other NMR experiment parts used in undergraduate physics courses at Harvard.
