Rotterdam wood (plant material). brass (alloy)Cor d'orchestre 1845-50 Pierre Piatet French This type of natural horn was used in Classical and early Romantic orchestras. It is often referred to as the "hand horn" because by placing their hand in the horns bell and closing it off to varying degrees, players could alter the notes of the harmonic series to produce a chromatic scale. The 10 detachable crooks (from B-flat basso to B-flat alto) typically supplied with cors d'orchestre allowed the horn to cover the wide range of keys encountered in orchestral repertoire. Changing the sounding length through the use of crooks gave each key its own tonal characteristics. The longer crooks produce a darker, "stuffier" tone, while short crooks sounded bright and trumpet-like. The horn responds best when played with crooks in the middle of its range, thus E-flat, E and F became the most frequently used keys for horn compositions. These subtle timbral differences are lost on the modern horn, which has dispensed with crooks.Bradley Strauchen-SLOHGERBER MUSEUM & GALLERY DippoldiswaldeRed blue wooden soap box red blue wooden soap boxAncient land plowing metal adjustment on wheels in Cyprus parkAntique machines in display case, Old Sturbridge Village, Sturbridge, Massachusetts , Antiques, Machinery, Showcases, Historic sites, Old Sturbridge Village.

It would have been used to measure wind and water speed, Leonardo designed this device made up of conical ducts positioned in front of a rotating paddle. The air or water flow passing through the two tapering ducts moves the paddle wheel as if it were a turbine, and when ropes are wrapped around the wooden axle they are able to lift weights and thus indicate the driving force.Zuckerraffinerie im 19.
