The different rates at which heat flows in various metals are shown by this device. Four rods of different metals (brass, copper, aluminium and iron) have one end clamped in an iron ring mounted on a rod with wooden handle. The four rods have hollow ends where a match can be inserted, and sulphur placed in the central hole. When heated, the matches will ignite in the order of thermal conductivity of each rod.
