    I don't think the date on this is right. Judging from the clothing and Einstein's appearance, I'd probably say it was late 40's or early 50's.
  • Bruce Wedgwood-Oppenheim said:
    Yup if the date was right, Albert would be in diapers!
  • Dave M. said:
    Also I think Niels Bohr ranks more of a mention than "...and others"!!
  • hanksimon said:
    It is really cool that everyone is identified by their autograph. I think that they are all Physics Nobel Prize winners.
  • Michael Ross said:
    This very same photo (though not with the autographs), is apparently part of the Emilio Segre Visual Archives (http://photos.aip.org/searchResult2.jsp?item_id=Bohr%20Niels%20D5&fname=bohr_niels_d5.jpg&title=null&description=L-R:%20Bohr,%20Franck,%20Einstein,%20Rabi,%20on%20the%20occasion%20of%20Franck's%20and%20Einstein's%20receiving%20honorary%20degrees%20of%20the%20Technion%20Israel%20Institute%20of%20Technology;%20Princeton;&credit=AIP%20Emilio%20Segre%20Visual%20Archives,%20Margrethe%20Bohr%20Collection&photoDate=null&storePublished=Y&color=null&names=Bohr,%20Niels%20Henrik%20David;%20Franck,%20James;%20Rabi,%20Isidor%20Isaac;%20Einstein,%20Albert&contactID=null) -- sorry for the long URL -- which is part of the Niels Bohr Library of the Center for History of Physics at the American Institute of Physics. This photo is part of the "Margrethe Bohr Collection." On the page cited above, there is a list of purchase prices and service fees. The scientists pictured are (left to right) Niles Bohr, James Franck, Albert Einstein, I.I. Rabi, and they were together "on the occasion of Franck's and Einstein's receiving honorary degrees of the Technion Israel Institute of Technology."

    No idea, but let's compose a piece of music for it!

    Air raid/emergency siren
  • Melinda Young Stuart said:
    Early audio recorder/player ?
  • Ross said:
    Funny that 1923–1929 is well before the invention of the Leslie speaker, which this definitely resembles.
  • Ross said:
    The nameplate on the speaker horn says Western Electric and maybe model 518-W? If so, that was a domestic radio speaker and probably wouldn't deliver siren-level volume. The question remains what it is doing on the spinning rig—it looks like there are slip rings to make the electrical connection while spinning. Radio special effects?
