  • Einthoven has given a particularly elegant design for such an instrument (1915, 1916) - two galvanometers one after the other, each transferring its string registration on the same plate.

  • The revolution in technique has come about not from any increase in the sensitivity of galvanometers and electrometers but from the use of the thermionic valve to amplify potential changes.

    Edgar Adrian - Nobel Lecture 1965

  • The developments of the technique appear to lie in refining and lightening hermopiles, in improving their sensitivity, and in the use of more sensitive and rapidly moving galvanometers.
