Professor Robert Hare invented these two machines in about the 1850s, This machine A above was intended to demonstrate that the manifestations attributed to Spirits could be made without human agency. It will be readily seen that the tray upon which the Medium s hands were laid, rests upon balls, making it impossible for the Medium to move the table, or produce any action of the index upon the dial.  Having this apparatus at the residence of a lady by whom it had been actuated on previous occasions, he says: This lady sitting at the table as a Medium, my sister reported herself.  As a test question, I inquired; What was the name of a partner in business of my father, who, when he left the city with the Americans during the Revolutionary War, came out with the British, and took care of the joint property?  The disk revolved successively to letters correctly indicating the name to be Warren.  I then inquired the name of the partner of my English grandfather, who died in London more than seventy years ago.  The true name was given by the same process.  The Medium and all present were strangers to my family, and I had never heard either name mentioned, except by my father.

The Medium was asked to place their hands, clasped together to the bottom of the cage as shown, holding them perfectly still.  As soon as these conditions were attained, the apparatus being untouched by anyone excepting the Medium as described, was then asked to bring forth the Spirit World and with the aid of the Spirit friends tests were conducted to test the amount of downward force exerted.

A light proof box into which a roll of unopened photographic film is place as an experiment to see if the Spirit World will place any images onto the unopened film. This particular box was used by the Scole Group in their Circles/Seances.

I made a slightly different box that interlocked the lid and the base. It was painted black on the inside so no reflective light could enter.
