Magnet, Bell-shaped
A form of permanent magnet used in some galvanometers. In shape it is a thick-sided cylindrical box with two slots cut out of opposite sides, so as to make it represent a horseshoe magnet. Its shape enables it to be surrounded closely by a mass of copper, for damping its motion, to render the instrument dead-beat. Such a magnet is used in Siemens & Halske's galvanometer.
