The problem of the stethoscope: an enquiry, experimental and philosophical, into the properties of this instrument and the physics of auscultation

My interest in Stethoscopy dates back to the time when I first entered the class of Clinical Medicine. I had previously, while on war service, been interested in the propagation of sound in sea water, and finding that acoustics played so important a part in the diagnosis of pulmonary and cardiac conditions, I naturally sought to understand both the nature of intrathoracic vibratory disturbances and the mechanism of their conveyance to the ear.
