STAND II
UNITED STATES ARMY HOSPITAL STAND. NEW MODEL
This Stand was
originally designed and constructed for the United
States Army Medical Department in 1862, but has
recently been reconstructed. The entire Stand is of
the best finished brass and sixteen inches high
when arranged for use. The coarse and fine
adjustments are like the American Centennial Stand. The
bar is supported by a pillar, with joint for
inclination to any angle between the perpendicular
and horizontal positions.
The sub-stage for
accessories and mirrors swing in the same manner as
in the American Centennial Stand. The
sub-stage has a cylindrical receiver and centering
movements by means of a set-screw with a capstan
head. The concave mirror, when swung over the stage
for illuminating opaque objects, is a handy and
efficient substitute for a bull's-eye condenser. A
graduated circle is provided for registering the
degree of obliquity, and a stop to indelicate
central position. The sub-stage has moveable rack
and permanent pinion adjustment, and the rnirror
has a lengthening bar.
The stage is similar
to that of the American Centennial Stand,
makes a complete revolution, and is centered by
means of set-screws.
If desired, a
rotating mechanical stage can be had, in which the
l:ongitudinal movements are accomplished by rack
and pinion and the latitudinal by a screw. It is
provided with set-screws for centering it
accurately to the optical axis, and cost $30
extra.
