Another meaning
editOn 19 April 1888, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson recommended "a Ferrometer for Christ Church water closets" at the University of Oxford (the wording of Morton N. Cohen in Lewis Carroll: A Biography). I doubt that he wanted people measuring the amount of iron in their blood while they used the toilet. I also think the quotation, from page 302, is not the first use of the word ferrometer in that book. What else does it mean?
