Through time, people have invented several strange-looking devices that serve a great purpose.
However, they don’t always come with instruction manuals when found around the house.
Several Reddit users shared photos of objects they found, hoping someone would identify what it was for. Fortunately, many online have a broad knowledge of devices.
10. Suspended Glass Ball in Metal Frame
At first glance, a delicate glass ball suspended in a gold metal frame looked like a decorative piece in a home office. However, it serves a greater purpose, which one Reddit user unraveled.
Answer: One Reddit user shared much about the device, which was a Cambell-Strokes sunshine recorder. As the commenter added:
“You place a strip of card into one set of grooves in the piece that curves behind the sphere, point the opposite side of the sphere towards the equator, and the sphere will focus the sunlight to burn a track on the card. The card has hours marked, and [the] more the card is burnt, the brighter the sunlight was.”
