<p>[QUOTE="Greg C, post: 26591, member: 334"]Hello, I am currently working on identifying and displaying antique psychology instruments for the psychology department at my university, I have difficulties figuring out what exctaly this instrument was used for. It appears to be from the 1930's - 1950's, but I could be wrong. On the aluminim drum that is attached to the motor there is paper taped on with a start word followed by multiple 3 letter non-sense words. This could have perhaps been for study in language or recognition of non-sense words, but the motor is no longer operational, and to perform a full rotation, to move the drum to the next word takes some time. Here are some photos I took of it, it is made by Ralph Gerbrands Co. and the model is M1A, any informtation of possible leads would be much appreciated![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
