Divining rod for one-handed operation - has cylindrical brass grip holding wire with swinging object at end

摘要

The single-handed operation test or divining rod can be used in similar manner to conventional two-handed rods and produces more precise measurements. It does not require such skill in achieving successful results as do conventional rods. An oscillatory indicator section (2) attached to a handgrip section (1) consists of a wire fixed into the cylindrical grip with a terminating element (3) attached to its opposite end. The hand grip (1) may be a hollow cylinder or tube (4) of brass with a gold or silvered covering and can be filled with liquid or other material. The wire passes through a metal plug (5) in the lower end of the grio to a bush (8) attached to the plug (7) in the upper end of the grip.
