And now, here for your scientific? viewing pleasure, I give you The Bovis Scale and Barometer.

                      BOVIS SCALE

          also known as the BOVIS BIOMETER

The modern version of the Bovis scale was developed by Blanche Merz from the original by the engineer Simoneton, and the French physicist Bovis.

The intensity of the rays or vibrations, of a place, plant or object can be measured using a dowsing pendulum. The Bovis scale utilises the knowledge of electromagnetic wavelengths and specifically the wavelength of red light which is in the region of 6,500 Ångström.

The wavelength of one Ångström is one ten-millionth of a millimetre. However, since the biometer measures subtle energy and not wavelength, the units of measurement were named after Bovis. These are the so called units of vibrational quality or intensity of radiation of whatever is being measured, in Bovis units.

An average value for a healthy abode and for a healthy person is 6,500 Bovis units. Values below 6,500 Bovis units indicate a qualitative energetic deficiency. Values above 6,500 Bovis units indicate a higher quality.

The biometer is very simple to use. One method used to measure the quality of the rays in a place or object, is to make contact mentally, and then, formulating questions to the Bovis unit. With the pendulum swinging lengthwise along the base line, it is progressively moved along the scale until the swing alters to cross the line. The point at which the pendulum swings at right angles to the scale is the point to be read.

If no response is seen by the time the pendulum reaches the end of the scale at 10,000 Bovis units, then return to the start, and count 11,000,  12,000, 13,000, 14,000 etc. and extrapolate to higher figures as required.
