…Soon after, attempts were made to use the phenomenon of electrolysis for communication. In 1809, Samuel Thomas von Sömmering (1755-1830) of Semmering, Germany, came up with the idea of sending messages by generating electrolytic bubbles in glass tubes arranged in rows equal to the number of letters in the alphabet, and built a device to do so. However, before the application of electrolysis could be put to practical use, HC Oersted of Denmark discovered the magnetic effect of electric current, and a method of sending messages by the deflection of a magnetic needle placed near a conductor through which current passed was developed. … From [Torso]...The corsets that tightened the torsos of today's French doll models created this figure, but around this time the negative effects of corsets were also pointed out. Already in Marie Antoinette's time, the German physician Sömmering von Sömmering warned that corsets constricted the lower rib cage and put pressure on the internal organs (1785). After the French Revolution, corsets fell out of fashion and women's torsos were spared from pressure, but they became fashionable again when the monarchy was restored, and corsets with whalebone or metal frames became popular. *Some of the terminology that mentions "Sömmering, STvon" is listed below.
