1814 E. Kentish 93 (Appendix) Had the state of this young man's lungs been measured at an earlier period by the Pulmometer, some means of arresting the progress of the disease might have been attempted.
1870 S. J. Gee Auscult. & Percuss. (1893) i. ii. 35 Instruments which have been invented for registering the respiratory movements and powers:..spirometers, pulmometers, pneumatometers, anapnographs.
1978 Brit. Jrnl. Dis. Chest 72 175 It is odd that the same machine, also called a pulmometer, was described by Maddock (1844), who does not mention Kentish or Thackrah, but attributes the principle of the machine to the late Dr. Abernethy.
