<p style='text-align: justify;'>The apparatus on display in this exhibition of 1938 was used in some of the most important experiments carried out in the Cavendish Laboratory in the early 20th century. On the bench under the window are, from left to right, Aston's gas valves, Chadwick's neutron chamber, Wilson's cloud chamber, Rutherford's e/m tube for α-particles and his nuclear disintegration chamber.
