 Device indicating the exact tempo of a piece.
 
+Invented ca. 1812 by Dietrich Nikolaus Winkler of Amsterdam, but takes its name
+from Johann Nepomuk Mälzel, who copied the device, added a scale of tempo
+divisions, and patented it as a "metronome".  The inevitable lawsuit that
+followed acknowledged Winkler as the creator, but by then Mälzel had already
+sold many of them, and people had taken to calling it a Mälzel Metronome.
