A nice quick drive by taking you to The Faraday Centre Museum. A quaint collection of hands on machinery from a bygone era that I think Sir Michael Faraday would have liked

Michael Faraday was born in 1791 at the now Elephant and Castle London. Son of a blacksmith he attended school and learned the rudiments of Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. He went on to discover” Magneto-Electric Induction” and his name lives on to this day in electronics as a measurement of capacitance. The SI unit of capacitance, the farad, is named after him, as is the Faraday constant, the charge on a mole of electrons (about 96,485 coulombs). Faraday's law of induction states that magnetic flux changing in time creates a proportional electromotive force
Inside the Museum there is a figurine of the great man and a demonstration of the above., well worth a look if you have the time.
On to the cache its self it is a small micro and it should be obvious from the cache title what you are looking for. Coordinates will take you to near by area then its up to you.
