Here is a photograph of a slate used by the Physical Medium Henry Slade in the 1855 ish until his death in 1905. Notice the catch on the lower slate that goes through the lid so a lock can be fixed on the top when it is closed.

Here we see a set of new slates with pieces of chalk that would never in a million years be used inside the slates when the slates were placed together to make them light-proof and tamper-proof. a sliver of slate was the chalk, pen or the implement used to write as it was the best size for the job. Yet again someone not doing their homework.

CABINETS as used in physical seances.

There are many forms of cabinets that have been, and are being used by Physical Mediums. Most of them are home made out of cloth covering a multitude of structures. Please note that metal [should be covered] is NOT conducive to physical phenomena, and wood acts like a battery for the holding and collecting of psychic energy, this is why it is best to used wooden chairs in seances. Metal if touched by the Physical Medium when producing ectoplasm can be burned, as did Gordon Higginson whilst wearing a belt which had a metal buckle on it. This goes for the sitters in physical seances as well.

All a cabinet does for the Physical Medium is to contain the build up of psychic energy within the bounds of the cloth covering what ever the structure is made of. Many was the time in homes when the Mediums placed a pole across the corner of the room and sat in trance behind it. The red light for the seance was sometimes placed in front of the curtain at other times it was place in the rose fitting in the middle of the ceiling. Generally the curtain was black because the ectoplasm could be easily seen. [see the different types of cloth and the reasons behind using them in Meditation Oneness].

TABLES of different sorts have been used since the times they were thought of to sit around as a gathering point. Perhaps it was found out by accident that when people of enquiring minds gathered around a wooden structure that was a focus point for the gathered parties that phenomena became a thing that was able to be produced when those enquiring minds thought of the higher levels of consciousness, the world planes beyond ours or perhaps the spirituality that existed with some other people in their community. One thing for sure we will never know where or when it first happened.

The small cane table being used in the centre of physical seances that walked on their own; YES, without people touching them in those red light physical seances, and the large solid oak tables of the last century that also moved and the percussion raps that came from them. please think on before you think about using any metal in your physical seances. Metals can cause the Medium and the sitters serious harm if they come in contact with it, whereas wooden structures and wooden chairs act as a storage system for psychic energy.

For a lot more information of the use of tables as an aid go to the page testing of Mediums, Psychics and Spiritualism No 4.
