The Lehman acoumeter was designed by Alfred Georg Ludwig Lehmann (1858-1921), a Danish psychologist who established an experimental laboratory at the University of Copenhagen. Here, the sound was generated by dropping a steel pellet on a small glass plate. The inscription on this example reads “C. H. STOELTING CO. / CHICAGO, ILL. U.S.A.”
