Historical fact: While Fischer made custom
machines for other manufacturers, it is interesting to note that Thompson
Plaster is the only company publicly mentioned in their catalogs. It is
interesting to note that on April 1, 1916 Herman
G. Fischer and Hugh A. Thompson filed for a Ventilated Spark Gap patent
together, the rights were 50:50.
What was the mysterious connection?
We learned from the Fischer family just recently that Thompson was Fischer's
cousin! Even more interesting, is that near
relative Bill Thompson was the famous voice actor for '30s radio characters and
later MGM's
"Droopy Dog"... |

Reproduction Thompson Plaster Spark Gaps
These gaps are unique in that they are stationary, yet
adjustable through the use of a sliding arm that short circuits the number of
gaps not wanted in the circuit. They are ideal for voltages from 3,500 -
25,000V or more. |

Scott MacLaughlin: Vice President Of Engineering,
Fischer Imaging
Jeff: Curator of The Turn Of The Century Electrotherapy Museum
Rita: Jeff's Wife
Frank: Featured Collector of all things Fischer
Jim: Fischer Freight
Scott:
Here are some pics of old x-ray/therapy equipment we
have. Let me know if you have any interest.
Jeff: Yes, please! I want them
all!!!!!
Rita: You want what?
Jeff: We need to buy all of these machines!
Rita: Are they big?
Jeff: One is kind of big, but it's the best one of all...
Rita: Okay, I guess...
---
Rita: The Fischer delivery man called me at work. Is 90 feet
big?
Jeff: [At home, sick with flu] Ahhh....Uh Oh.
Jim: How big is NE 15th Street? I've got an 87 and a half
foot truck?
---
Jeff: FRANK!? I don't know what to do! I'm sick in
bed and there are 4 5-foot pallets of machines outside, and an 8 foot skid!
Rita's going to kill me!
...
Several days later I was well enough to open
the boxes. Rita was so surprised by the beauty of the machines she
completely forgot to kill me for filling the house with them.
Frank in his infinite wisdom identified the mystery electrodes and helped me to
rewire the
large X-Ray cabinet safety gaps...
We officially started to look for a new house with more museum space...! |
