Crookes' Paddle Wheel Tube	Crookes' Paddle Wheel or Railway Tube

Description:

Crookes' railway tube on a new stand made here. This look quite spectacular as the paddle with the mica vanes rolls back and forth and fluoresces with red, blue and green colours on the turning vanes - again very difficult to photograph well to give a proper idea of the vivid beauty of this tube. In reality it looks like a vivid miniature multicoloured Catherine wheel firework. Full insurance included in the price. Delivery at cost. Early twentieth century size 11" (28o mm) tube diameter 2" (51 mm)
