The set includes a scaled lifting magnet, interchangeable demonstration components, steel plates, spacer rings, and an illustrated Westinghouse brochure explaining the design, manufacture, and operation of the company's industrial lifting magnets. Intended for use by sales representatives, the kit allowed customers to visualize the construction and lifting principles of full-size electromagnetic lifting magnets used in steel mills, foundries, scrapyards, and manufacturing facilities. The molded velvet-lined interior secures each component within dedicated compartments, while the exterior case is embossed \"Lifting Magnet Sample\" and bears the Westinghouse logo.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNeeds electricity to operate. Displays moderate age-related wear consistent with use and storage. The exterior case exhibits scattered scuffs, scratches, edge wear, losses to the covering material, and exposed wood at several corners. The front latches function properly; however, no key is included for the integrated locks. The lid is designed to lift free of the lower case once opened, utilizing removable hinge pins rather than a permanently attached hinge arrangement. The front of the case features a folding access flap that drops down when opened and is only minimally attached due to deterioration of the case material. The blue velvet-lined interior exhibits wear, including areas of missing flocking, a hole in the upper lining, accumulated dust, and minor losses throughout. The fitted compartments show expected wear from use. The magnet, accessory components, and instruction booklet exhibit typical handling wear consistent with age.
