Thunder sheet
Around 1700 (English)
A thunder sheet is a large, thin sheet of metal that is shaken to produce the sound of thunder for a play. Dramatist John Dennis is credited with the first use of thunder sheets for his tragedy Appius and Virginia. His invention was stolen by another theatre production, gaving rise to the phrase, stole my thunder.
