Baraduc\u2019s biometer consisted of a needle suspended by a thread. When a subject\u2019s hand was brought near the apparatus, the needle\u2019s movement supposedly indicated a variety of personal conditions physical, mental, and even moral. The biometer was criticized for not dealing with possible movement due to air currents or the heat of the human body. Later varieties of similar instruments have tended to be enclosed in glass for that very purpose."}
