Dear list,
I always been told that von Békésy was the first to use (or the inventor
of) the "simple up-down" staircase.
Is there a precise reference for it? I checked more than a dozen of
articles by now, but everybody seems to sweep this problem under the rug.
Perhaps because there is not such a reference?
