Maxi Modular Lung Analyzer with the Maxi Survey Computer system. Computer came with 8K of memory and a teletype unit. Programs were loaded using punched paper tape. Video display and floppy disk memory unit were optional extras. From ‘Collins’ Catalog of Pulmonary Function Testing Instruments”, undated by likely from around 1978, page 1-26.
Had to be custom ordered and you supplied your own pressure transducers. From ‘Collins’ Catalog of Pulmonary Function Testing Instruments”, undated by likely from around 1978, page 1-35.
1.4 Liter spirometer for use with small animals. From ‘Collins’ Catalog of Pulmonary Function Testing Instruments”, undated by likely from around 1978, page 1-49.
Small animal basal metabolism system with a 1.4 Liter spirometer. From ‘Collins’ Catalog of Pulmonary Function Testing Instruments”, undated by likely from around 1978, page 1-49.
Found on the Boerhaave Museum website. Mis-identified as a ‘respiratory apparatus’ (“beademingssapparaat”) rather than as a spirometer. Model number and actual date of manufacture were not listed but it is likely a Lode D/51 or a D/53, and probably from around 1960.
From an undated photo. Gasometer style indicates it’s from 1920’s.
Undated publicity photo. Date is based on the style of the gasometer and kymograph but could be a decade either way.
Undated publicity photo. Style suggests it’s from around 1950 but could be a decade either way.
Publicity photo dated Nov, 1938. The spirometer looks like a 6 liter recording Vitalometer but could be an animal spirometer (Collins sold a wide range of metabolic systems for animals from the 1930’s through the 1980’s).
Undated photograph, but likely from around 1950.
