Keely
"Vibrophone, which is fashioned after the human ear," [Vibratory Sympathetic and Polar Flows]
"In the image of man" Keely constructed his liberator. Not literally, but, as his vibrophone (for collecting the waves of sound and making each wave distinct from the other in tone when the "wave plate" is struck after the sound has died away) is constructed after the human ear so his liberator corresponds in its parts to the human head. [Snell Manuscript - The Book, page 2]
"As a suggestion to those interested in psychological researches I will mention that Keely has copied nature in all his instruments from the Vibrophone, which is fashioned after the human ear, up to the Disintegrator, in which the neutral center represents the human heart." [Keely and His Discoveries]
Vibrophone - May be a device for modulating the voice into a coherent and consistent voice pattern or discrete vibration signature (chord of pitches) and/or for training the voice for specific pitch patterns.
