Hooper "Eye Magnet"
date: label: date made
content: ca 1895
notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: Hooper Eye Electromagnet with cord. Prof. Rollins recalled: "Professor Hooper made it to withdraw out specks of iron from the eyes of any student who had the misfortune to get anything in his eyes." This explains why the object looks more like an electric soldering iron than an electromagnet. Reference is to William Leslie Hooper (1855-1918).
