Notes
Part of the film collection comprising of 55 items donated by Nuffield Department of Anaesthetics, Oxford, to the Wellcome Trust in 2008. In 1937, Lord Nuffield established a clinical chair of anaesthesia in Oxford amidst some controversy that anaesthesia was even an academic discipline. The collection is a mixture of clinical and educational films made or held by the department to supplement their teaching dating from the late 1930s onwards.
From the catalogue accompanying the collection: More or less a repetition of No. 7, but not quite so good. Handwritten note: No sinking ie without jacket. Not suitable for showing to audience, as very scrappy and not nearly so interesting as some of the others. June 1952.
