<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 26614, member: 25&quot;]Possibly for dyslexia research, the subject writes down the word they see displayed at a steady speed (the synchronous motor would standardise the speed of display) and I suspect the toothed wheel is an arrangement to enable the words to snap into position rather than be dragged slowly past the slit.</p><p><br /></p><p>I suppose it could be used for diagnosis of different types of neural malfunction according to typical patterns of mistakes in different disorders. It&#039;s really not hard to imagine a dozen types of possible application,and although all of them might&nbsp; be of no practical use, no research student worth his salt could not write a grant application based on some supposed use of this device.</p><p><br /></p><p>Indeed it may have been invented solely for the purpose of testing graduate students to see if they had what it takes for that most vital and basic of academic activities, obtaining funding. I would consider any student who could not come up with a feasible sounding scheme to use such an apparatus unfit for any further academic work except college adminstration.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
