1. Title: Discovering the Unseen: John Cuttens' Pendulum Recorder in Psychical Research. This photograph showcases John Cuttens' pendulum recorder, an intriguing electronic device used in the realm of psychical research during the 1970s. The general view above reveals the device's overall setup, with the pendulum suspended above a table adorned with a carpet and wallpaper pattern. The recorder, with its knobs and measurement scales, sits atop the table, ready to capture the mysterious movements of the pendulum. A closer look at the recorder, as depicted below, reveals the inner workings of this fascinating piece of equipment. When the pendulum swings, it generates an electrical current in a photocell, which is then amplified by the unit feeding the recorder. This current is recorded on the chart, documenting each movement made by the pendulum. The use of electronic technology in psychical research during the 1970s represented a significant shift in the scientific investigation of the paranormal. Researchers like John Cuttens employed such devices to study the phenomena, aiming to provide empirical evidence for the existence of psychic abilities or spiritual forces. The room where this experiment took place is filled with an air of anticipation and curiosity. The dim lighting, subtle shadows, and the quiet hum of the recorder create an atmosphere that is both intriguing and slightly unnerving. The pendulum, with its seemingly random movements, adds to the enigma, as researchers waited for signs of the unknown to manifest. This photograph serves as a reminder of the historical significance of the 1970s in the field of psychical research, a time when scientists and researchers pushed the boundaries of scientific exploration, seeking answers to the mysteries of the paranormal.
