Improved stethoscope designed by George P. Cammann of New York introduced in 1855 is very similar to this design. The large bell-shaped chest piece was often held before the patient's mouth while the chest was percussed, to amplify "cracked pot" sound. Smaller chest pieces were used for ordinary ausculation.
