Centrifugal Hoop
notes: label: Description
content: This centrifugal hoop demonstration apparatus came from the Paul Laurence Dunbar High School in Washington, D.C., a school that was established in 1870 as the Preparatory High School for Colored Youth. It may have been acquired in September 1891 when the school moved to a new building on M Street (and became popularly known as the M Street High School). A brass tag on the wooden base reads “James W. Queen & Co. / Philada.” The form was sometimes termed a whirling machine.
