Summary

The large electromagnet was built for the Academy of Sciences, according to the plans drawn up by Professor Cotton and Mr. Mabboux, and with supporting funds from the National Pastor's Day subscription.
After the machining phases carried out in the Saint-Ouen workshops of the French company Thomson-Houston, the 120-ton electromagnet was installed at the Office National des Recherches Scientifiques et Industrielles et des Inventions in Bellevue.
