Papist Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 [quote name='arfink' timestamp='1314635236' post='2296906'] GRoD: Not all E10 sized light bulbs are created equal. Apparently in the UK the E10 has a taller nub on the bottom, while in the US it is short. This makes replacing bulbs in equipment manufactured in the UK a pain in the rear. The unit in question is a Gallenkamp Melting Point Apparatus. [img]http://pics.equipnet.com/mp_data/images/largepic/Feb/2011214152611_273878_1.jpg[/img] These little machines which looks deceivingly like little daleks are used to help determine the melting point of crystals and other substances with relatively low melting points. You look at the substance through the lens in the top and when you see it melt you stop the heater and write down the temp it melted at. They have a platinum heater core, and are insanely expensive. However, my client has a number of them with bunt out bulbs in the viewing chamber, making them useless for observation. These were made in the UK though, and that may make replacing the bulbs a bit of a pain. [/quote] Thanks a lot! I bought one of these and look what it did to my clock.

With a fiber optic mohawk attachment. Which pulses to the music.
