a vibrograph that measures the amplitude of vibrations
Word origin
[1885–90; vibro- + -meter]This word is first recorded in the period 1885–90. Other words that entered Englishat around the same time include: classified, lineup, reactor, toner, zoom-meter is a combining form meaning “measure,” used in the names of instruments measuringquantity, extent, degree, etc. Other words that use the affix -meter include: interferometer, manometer, micrometer, nephelometer, telemeter
