[BCMA] BVM donation offer to pass along to someone with a Medical Collection

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

The Burnaby Village Museum has been offered a Sanborn Viso Cardiette, model 51, a portable ("portable" as long as you want an upper-body workout. It's all-metal and very heavy) electrocardiograph<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography>, which is a machine that creates a "print-out" of a heartbeat. This one was salvaged from the Hanna Medical Centre (Boundary/Canada Way) before it was shut down, It is in very good condition and still works, comes with the cover (rare find) as well as the original power cord, cables, etc.

This model was produced from 1950 to the mid 1960s

Here is a link to lots of images of these machines
