The winter of 1849–50 was Helmholtz’s first winter in Königsberg. Together with his wife Olga, he had moved from Potsdam to the city of Kant at the end of August to become Ernst Brücke’s successor at the university there. After his studies in medicine under Johannes Müller in Berlin, Helmholtz had |

| AbstractList | This chapter reconstructs the electromagnetic timing device Helmholtz had used in the first series of this experiments. Combining a mirror galvanometer, a telescope and a frame for nerve-muscle samples from the frog, his research machine allowed for reading off numerical values concerning muscle movements that, by means of complicated calculations, were transformed into time measurements. Helmholtz wife, Olga, was assisting Helmholtz in conducting the measurements and recording the results. Let us, therefore, go back to the beginning. This beginning does not correspond to a point but to a “tangle,” a “multilinear ensemble” in whichalllines—not just the lines of art but the lines of technology also—are “subject to changes in direction, bifurcating and forked.”² The winter of 1849–50 was Helmholtz’s first winter in Königsberg.
