Kater’s Reversible Pendulum

Hardened Alloy Steel Knife-Edges: Features two adjustable, precision-ground knife-edges mounted on a 1.2-meter stainless steel or brass rod, ensuring minimal rotational friction and stable pivot points for repeatable time-period measurements.

Bi-Material Calibration Masses: Equipped with precision-machined sliding weights—typically one heavy metallic mass and one light wooden or plastic mass—facilitating the fine adjustment required to achieve identical oscillation periods from both pivot orientations.
