In a foreshadowing of many future audiophile devices, John W Campbell, the editor of Astounding Science Fiction magazine, and a big proponent in the 1950s of the Hieronymus Machine, the Dean Drive, the Scientology E-meter and other similar devices, showed by experiment that a schematic of the Hieronymus machine drawn on paper worked just as well as the device itself.
