Müller's rotator for memory studies

(Rotations-Apparat für Gedächnisstudien nach Müller)
Description: This apparatus was used for the presentation of syllables at various rates. (The illustration erroneously shows a word-pair, a type of stimulus that was not used by Müller with this apparatus.) While Müller and his colleagues (Schumann, etc.) originated many types of apparatus, this appears to be the only one which is available, possibly because Baltzar (Zimmermann's predecessor) made the original apparatus.
