Von Frey style Be-sooting stand for kymograph drums.

(Berussgestell nach Von Frey für Kymographentrommeln.)
Description: The paper attached to a kymograph drum needed to be covered with carbon (soot from a candle or gas flame before it could be used. This device, apparently the version perfected by von Frey, allows you to mount a drum, with paper, on an easily rotatable shaft. The carbon coating was then provided by a glass tube connected to the laboratory gas supply. (Expanded caption Copyright 1998, Edward J. Haupt)
