The measurement of the storage and loss moduli (G’ and G” respectively) of materials as functions of frequency is now commonplace and is of wide utility. Yet it is not easy to trace the history of such measurements, and so this article discusses the genesis of this important experimental technique. We find that the technique grew out of a parallel technique for dielectric measurements (ca. 1900) and was developed in the mid-1930s by Philippoff and others. Important breakthroughs due to digital circuitry have occurred only in the last 20 years or so.
