Proximity Switches -  These inductive proximity switches are used to inform the control panel when the lifting platform is at a particular location, e.g., either at the top or the bottom of the conservation vat.  They, in effect, automatically turn the winches off when the lifting platform reaches the end of travel.

Fiberglass Brushes - The donation of fiberglass brushes provides one of the important tools used to complete the conservation process of non-ferrous artifacts. The final mechanical cleaning and restoration of the original luster of the artifact is done in preparation for final sealing and display or storage of the artifact.

Label Tape - Tags are used to display artifact numbers, which serve as a means by which to place artifacts within their site- specific archaeological contexts. They also aid in the tracking of individual artifacts during their conservation procedures. Dymo label makers are used to replace destroyed artifact tags, as well as to create new tags in instances where the conservation process reveals the presence of new artifacts not previously recorded.

Flexible Shaft Fiberscope - The flexible fiberscope donated by Everest Imaging enables the conservator to critically examine the interior of concretion molds, cannon barrels, and other hard-to-reach locations. The fiberscope also aids the conservator in determining whether or not the interior void of a concretion mold is sufficiently clean of corrosion debris, for epoxy casting to be optimally effective. The fiberscope has its own light source, and coupled with a camera and mounting adapter, enables the conservator to photograph the interior images prior to casting.
