von Frey-style metal(membrane)-based Pressure recorder.

(Metall-Tonograph nach von Frey.)
Description: Unfortunately, the drawing for this device seems to have been replaced by a similar drawing, which however, does not include all the items labeled in the description of No. 350. The typical pressure-sensitive rubber membrane is replaced by a thin platinum-iridium membrane with a diameter of 15 mm. The device is set up so that it can be mounted on a stand. There are micrometer screws and positioning devices for the stand that permit the signal to be more or less amplified before being written on a kymograph. (Expanded caption Copyright 1998, Edward J.
