Sargent Welch Pull-String Generator

Sargent Welch Pull-String Generator
PIRA 5K40.40

Securely clamp the Sargent Welch pull-string generator to a tabletop corner so that the pull-string wheel end is at a table edge.  Pull on the string, and wire coils are flipped past permanent magnets to produce current and light the bulb.  The voltage produced is non-rectified DC.
