Scope note
Instruments used to demonstrate the interference of sound, consisting of two U-tubes, one sliding into the other, with a Galton's whistle at one intersection of the tubes and a sensitive flame at the other. Air passes through the two bends of the tube to meet at the flame, and the flicker is analyzed against a scale on one of the tubes.
