...Bottle & Coil. The magnetometer displayed at Venice was developed by Oxford's Research Laboratory for Archaeology, following U.S.-designed electronic circuits. The working arm of the instrument is a small (about 5 oz.) bottle of plain water, which contains hydrogen and, therefore, protons. Surrounding the bottle is an electrical coil connected to a control box. The magnetometer is usually operated by two people, one of whom moves the bottle from point to point, while the other sits at the control box. To make an observation, the controller presses a button, shooting an electric current from a storage battery through...

Anytime you move a magnet in the close proximity of a coiled wire (or vice versa) you cause a current to flow through the coil. In the stereo cartridge we can either attach a magnet to the stylus arm and hold two coils stationary in the body of the device, or we can wind two coils onto the arm in different directions and mount a stationary magnet in the body. Either way (one is called "moving magnet", the other "moving coil" for obcious reasons), when the needle does its mazurka in the groove the stylus arms follows, and the groove...
