content: Ernest Adolph Speigel (1895-1985) was a Jewish neurologist from Vienna who moved to the United States in 1930, and became Professor of Experimental and Applied Neurology at Temple University in Philadelphia. In 1947, he and his student, Henry Wycis (1911-1971), unveiled the first stereotactic frame that was designed for locating areas of the brain where seizures originate, and that was suitable for use on humans. This is that device. An inscription reads "MADE BY / TEMPLE UNIVERSITY / SCHOOL OF MEDICINE."
