An optical instrument or toy for showing the persistence of

Note: It consists of a card having on its opposite faces
figures of two different objects, or halves of the same
object, as a bird and a cage, which, when the card is
whirled rapidly round a diameter by the strings that
hold it, appear to the eye combined in a single
picture, as of a bird in its cage.
