Identifying a design type for a galvanometer

[translatorjoe]

I'm looking for a little ad hoc assistance identifying the designs in the image. I believe 1. is called pivot and jewel, but I've been unable to determine what the second design is called. Any help would be great!

Isn't it just a different view of the first drawing?

Of course I can. I can do anything. I can do absolutely anything. I'm an expert!

As far as I'm able to tell, they are supposed to be two different designs for the pointer in an electrical measuring instrument.

Perhaps you are looking for a suspended coil galvanometer as opposed to a pivoted coil galvanometer?
