Professor Jan Cami was winner of this equivalence principle toy from the Einstein @ Rotman exhibit which was held at the Satellite Project Gallery back in November and December of 2015.

Contestants had to submit a photo of themselves with the toy.

The original toy / apparatus was conceived by a friend of Albert Einstein, and was presented to Einstein on his 72nd birthday.

Three of these wonderful toys had been built by Brian Dalrymple and Frank VanSas of the machine shop in The Department of Physics and Astronomy for use during the celebration of 100 Years of  General Relativity.
