Another meaning
[edit]On 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?
