Text: The inspiration for this research was the work of an American doctor (not a homeopath) called Abrams, who in turn had derived the idea from Dr Stern White of Los Angeles in 1914. Abrams invented a machine called a Reflexophone, which he claimed detected "energy fields" affecting patients. Purchasers of the Reflexophone were not supposed to open it; Boyd x-rayed it, however, and found that it could not possibly do what Abrams claimed. Although sceptical of Abram's methods, Boyd felt that there was something genuine at the bottom of it all and he therefore set to work to design his own machine, the Emanometer, which was quite different.
