The wall unit enables the changes in the length of springs to be determined for varying loads. The unit consists of a base plate to which a holder for springs is fitted. Each of the tension springs can be loaded using a hook with the aid of a weight. Compression springs are checked using a compression bar. The change in length is read at a pointer running along a millimetre scale. The unit is suitable for both laboratory use for student experiments and for demonstrations performed by the lecturer.
