SLIDE RINGING TABLE AS SUPPLIED BY CHARLES COLLINS WITH HIS MOUNTING OUTFIT

c. after 1878

This turntable is part of the Collins Mounting Outfit. The smaller disk below the larger one holding the slide is knurled and of smaller diameter to facilitate spining the table. It utilizes a hardwood base supporting a steel rod with a pointed tip to minimize friction as the table is spun. In order to fit in the case with the rest of the mounting accessories, the brass table is separated from its base.
