FOR THE WOUNDED

PORTABLE ANAESTHETIC MACHINE. NOW BEING MASS-PRODUCED IN BRITAIN. Sand was specially imported from Libya for experiments on a new portable vaporising machine for administering anaesthetics and artificial respiration on the battlefield and in ail’ raids. One thousand of the machines are to be mass-produced in one of Britain’s largest motor-car factories. The size and shape of a portable gramophone, each of them weighs only 301bs. and they will replace the cumbersome gas cylinders at present used. The Libyan sand was used to test resistance to penetration in sandstorms. The machines are also completely vermin-proof. In hot climates, where anaesthetics evaporate very rapidly, one can never be sure, with the usual methods, how much the patient has absorbed.. The portable machine provides complete control of dosage; moreover, it enables one anaesthetist to take part in several operations. The first 200 of the new machines will go to Britain’s R.A.F., after which the fighting services and the civil defence organisations will each have their allocation.
