Notes
Conservation and access copies made from 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.
