A wooden box with 2 clasps on the front. The top half opens to reveal a metal instrument, possibly used for precision timing. The box has been made specially to house this and has felt-covered wooden supports for the instrument to rest on. The instrument consists of a black metal bar with a brass bar mounted underneath it. At one end of the instrument, there are vertical wheels, approximately 4 cm in diameter, on either side of the brass bar, one black, one brass, to adjust screws that can touch the brass bar. At the other end of the instrument are 2 terminals on top of the black metal bar, one brass, one black metal. There is also a smaller brass knob.
