1. An instrument for graphically recording variations of pressure of a fluid, esp. of blood in the vessels of a living animal; a recording manometer; also called kymographion n. Later used more widely; the instrument consists of a cylinder rotated by a clockwork or electric motor, together with a stylus designed to trace on a roll of paper wrapped around the cylinder a curve representing pressure variations or motion communicated to the stylus.

1901 E. B. Titchener Exper. Psychol. I. i. viii. 112 O fixates the outermost grey ring of the disc... As the grey fades or drops out of view, he presses the bulb... As (or when) the grey returns, he relaxes the pressure. The curve of fluctuation is thus written, above the time line, upon the smoked paper of the kymograph.
1918 A. L. F. Snell Pause 1 The results in this investigation are based upon speech records made with an apparatus such as is used in experimental phonetics... The kymograph used in all the work was the complete Zimmerman pattern, with Herring slide and writing plane.

1938 Trans. Philol. Soc. 76 The apparatus used is the physiological kymograph, fitted with three appropriate Marey tambours. The upper bold tracing is that of jaw movement; the second supplies a record of sound obtained..; the third the time-marking inscribed by a tuning-fork.
1949 B. J. Underwood Exper. Psychol. vi. 163 These markers write on a kymograph, a slowly rotating drum covered with waxed or smoked paper. The rat..bounces the cage on the tambours, thus changing the air pressure which in turn activates the markers which record the animal's activity.
1959 E. Pulgram Introd. Spectrogr. Speech vi. 52 The kymograph produces registrations representing variations in the total amount of pressure during articulation.
1970 Reese & Lipsitt Exper. Child Psychol. iii. 83 Head-turning responses were recorded by means of a head harness mechanically attached to a kymograph.
2. Radiology.
