Aspects of Brain's work concern the transfer of chronographs, chronoscopes, ergographs, dynamometers and other such instruments from physics and physiology into the new ‘brass instrument’ psychology championed at Harvard especially by Hugo Muensterberg.
The calibration of these chronoscopes is facilitated by the use of the chronograph.
The data obtained with it withstand the comparison with those from much more expensive chronoscopes easily.
This chronoscope was used by the psychology department at Bedford College, University of London from 1900-1969.
