Spirometer, Lode, circa 1960
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.

Knipping’s Universal Ergometer, 1963
From “Methods in pulmonary physiology”, by Bertels H, Bucherl E, Hertz CW, Rodewald G, Schwab M. Translated by Workman JM. Hafner Publishing Co., 1963, page 103.
“This ergometer works on the same principle as that of Benedict. Her also braking is applied to a rotating metal disc by a variable magnetic field. Work can be done either on footpedals or a crank. An advantageous feature is the taking over the start of work by an electric motor which switches itself off automatically.”

Collins Helium Analog Analyzer, front, circa 1968
Taken from a product photo, undated but likely from about 1968. This analyzer was used on the Collins 13.5 Liter Respirometer so that both spirometry and lung volumes could be performed.
