Cords of Cairo. New Haven: Petrie & Lewis (P&L), ca. 1930. Cords running through two separate wooden pillars act in sympathy; when one is pulled, the other retracts, and vice versa – even after a visible cord connecting the two is severed. With the original cloth-covered stand (lacking brass mounts) and instructions. Pillars 13” long. Very good.
