Detector"
Electronic Psychometer
The B & W Lie detector is a simple galvanometer manufacturered
by B & W Associates of Michigan City, Indiana and distributed by Sirchie Fingerprint Laboratories. According to their
literature, this instrument is an "electronic psychometer," having the following advantages over any other lie detector:
Easy to operate; no delicate mechanism; no lengthy training school; no clumsy graphs; no chest or arm restrictions; confortable
finger electrodes; sensitivity standizer; 95 % accuracy; rugged construction; and weighs only 15 pounds.

B&W
Galvanometer
Like it's older brother above, this B & W Galvanometer was
touted as a "Lie Detector." According to literature at the time, this type of instrument demonstrates nicely in
the laboratory where the emotional stimuli are artificially created and therefore mild, their indications had doubtful value
in practical field application, particularily when used alone.
When in operation, a "Deception Indicated" (DI) reading
is established when the pen moves above the 'CENTER' operational area on the meter. It uses only two fingerplates.
