Magnet for Isidor Rabi's Molecular Beam

Magnet for Isidor Rabi's Molecular Beam. This magnet is 20 inches long and is wound with four turns of heavy copper (water cooling). With the orthodox design, a magnet equally effective would weigh several tons. The entire magnet is inside the vacuum system., Credit Line: Research Corporation, courtesy of AIP Emilio Segrè Visual Archives
