content: In 1885, Ludwig Brill published a series of models designed to supplement several of his earlier productions. These were designed at the mathematical institute of the technical high school in Munich, under the direction of Professor Alexander Brill. This curved brass surface painted black is one of them. It has a constant radius of curvature and fits around model 127 (1985.0112.91). A paper tag on the model reads: 129. This example was exhibited at the Columbia Exposition held in Chicago in 1893 and then acquired by Wesleyan University.
