"The original dumbbell was an apparatus contrived like that for ringing church-bells; that is, a heavy fly-wheel with a weight attached, which was set in motion like a church-bell, until it acquired sufficient impetus to carry the gymnast up and down, and so bring the muscles into active play. There is one at New College, Oxford, to the present day. The modern weights, so called, produce similar results, in a less cumbrous and more agreeable manner." - Edwards's Words, Facts, and Phrases. Phyfe WHP (1901) Five Thousand Facts and Fancies, GP Putnam's Sons, pg 250.
