Description
Two commercially-made joints for use in association with a Dale-Schuster pump. This mechanism, originally designed in 1928, was a double perfusion pump, used to circulate blood outside the body of an animal, bypassing the heart.
One of the two joints has no markings. The second is marked: ‘INTERCHANGE JOINT No. B10 BSS No. 572 BRITISH MADE’. Contained in a contemporary, but repurposed blue cardboard box with various paper labels including: ‘FRAGILE, M.J. RYMAN, London’. With a typed label ‘2 glass parts for Dale-Schuster pump, received from Prof. D.H. Smyth. 30.9.48.’
Sir Henry Hallett Dale (1875-1968) British physiologist was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1914, he served as its President from 1940-1945.
Edgar Hermann Joseph Schuster (1897-1969) British instrument maker.
David Henry Smyth (1908-1979) British physiologist was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1967.
