OXFORD VAPORISER
VALUABLE NEW DEVICE FOR USE IN OPERATIONS , IN FIELD. PRESENTATION TO R.A.F. BY LORD NUFFIELD. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, April 30.
The first of 20 machines which will simplify enormously emergency operations in the field and in air raids has been presented to the R.A.F. by Lord Nuffield. The machine is an pxford vaporiser, a piece of streamlined apparatus which is contained in a verminproof case about the size of a portable gramophone, and will take the place of the cumbersome gas cylinders which have been the rule for many years. In the future, it will not be necessary to send these cylinders to Libya and other war theatres, taking up valuable shipping space. A medical officer carrying this small case, which weighs 301 b., and a small bottle of liquid ether, will have all the anaesthetic equipment he needs. The vaporiser is' the result of several years’ research work carried out in the Nuffield department of anaesthetics in the University of Oxford, of which Group Captain R. R. Macintosh, of Oamaru, is to head.
