Fletcher Trolley apparatus

Product Description

Description of Fletcher Trolley apparatus:

Fletcher Trolley apparatus is manufactured to the well known sturdy design. The apparatus is elaborately equipped for a wide range of investigations into both linear and angular motion. This all metal system consists of a steel guided plane, 180 cm long, machined from a stiff girder section with a V groove and flat for guiding. The centre is slotted for the Rolling Disc experiment. A pair of echelon pulleys is provided at either end and there are two bridges adjustable for position along the length of the plane. Slope is controlled by an adjusting screw and measured on a scale. Two trolleys are provided, equipped with buffers and spear and plug for interlocking. Supplied complete with trolley masses, double set of slotted weights and hangers, balanced rolling disc and axle, rolling balls, 2 vibrating arms, packing block, paper rolls, ink and brushes.
