| Title | Unpublished paper, 'On a uniform rotation machine and on the theory of electromagnetic tuning forks' by R H M [Robert Holford Macdowall] Bosanquet |
| Date | 1882 |
| Description | The primary object of the machine is the construction of standard notes. The machine consists of a three-crank axle with a fly wheel. The cranks are acted on by electro-pneumatic levers, the valves of which control the wind supply. Two of these are acted on by a commutator on the axis; the third is connected with a clock which closes the circuit at every second.
