   • [1975, Methods in olfactory research, page 46:

     Simpler olfactometric devices have been given a variety of names: osmoscopes, osmometers, scentometers (Barnebey-Cheney, 1963), stinkometers, etc.]

   • 1985, Phyllis Fisher, Los Alamos Experience, page 165:

     Bill Ogle suggests “stinkometers” to be placed, one in the tech area and one at the commissary. They should be so constructed that when your stink passes a certain point and when you pass a certain point, a bell will ring.
