| Title | Paper, 'Note on the audibility of single sound waves, and the number of vibrations necessary to produce a tone' by E F [Edward Felix] Herroun and Gerald Francis Yeo |
| Creator | Herroun; Edward Felix (1862-1953); British scientist; photographer |
| Date | 1891 |
| Description | The authors write: 'When investigating the sounds produced by skeletal muscle when caused to contract at varying rates by electric stimulation, we were thoroughly convinced that a single contraction produced by a single induction shock gave rise to an audible sound of somewhat the same character as the first sound of the heart.'
