Summary
| Description |
English: The Compensator could produce very small electric currents (in the region of picoamps) by exerting changing tensile forces on a crystal in the top of the equipment. This view shows the piezo crystal and the electrical connections to conduct the current. This type of apparatus was used in Pierre and Marie Curie's discovery of radium and polonium |
