Danish Instrument Inventory text:

Multiplier. Bennett's. Mahogany base. 145x50. 2 glass pillars H50 support each a vertical brass plate 48x48. 1 similar brass plate is mounted on another glass pillar on a mahogany arm, hinged on the base, so that the brass plate can be moved between the 2 first. A 4th brass plate is on a brass rod mounted on a bevelled brass strip that slides in a slot in the base. This is very similar to the 'Cavallo's Multiplier' mentioned in Van Marum p 337. Mahogany box 150x60x120 with sliding door and brass eye for carrying.Signed on the 'EARTH' brass strip: NAIRNE Londonc1800 (g)
