Hi Kim – I was told (or read somewhere) that it was from the Swedish and meant something like “Loop-frame”. I don’t have my textbooks in my home office, but I am pretty sure there is a bit of the history in the article by Frischknecht et al on small-loop EM in the SEG EM methods volumes edited by Nabighian (Vol 2 – Applications, Part A?)

I was looking for a diversion when writing a report today and started wondering where the word Slingram comes from. I'd always assumed it was Finnish or at least Scandinavian and made perfect sense if you spoke the language but it might also be someone's name. At a stretch it might be Separated loop induction ground something machine? Sherrif says it's Swedish for Horizontal Loop method, supporting my original thought although presumably that still involves an acronym as I'd be surprised if any language had a single word saying Horizontal Loop EM method - scary if they do! Anyone know?
