Electrometer
Device for measuring static electric charges, Alessandro Volta, late eighteenth century

Just as in a charged electroscope, the straws in the interior of the device are forced apart because they are loaded with an identical charge. A scale for measuring the distance between the straws indicates the intensity of the charge.
