rail for Amsler integrator no. 4
This is the rail along which the large cylinder of the Amsler integrator no. 4 slides. The rail itself is a long rectangular steel strip. It has a groove that runs along one entire long edge of the rectangle. There is a brass handle in the center of each short edge at either end of the strip.
The track is stored in a long rectangular wooden box. The box opens with three hinges attached on a long edge of the box. Parts of the box appear to have been replaced, including on of the small end walls and the lid given that they have either no finish or a different finish from the rest of the box. There are two metal hooks on the outside of the bottom half of the box for attaching it to the top half when the box is closed.
