Notes

This film forms part of a group of films donated to the Wellcome Trust in 2010 by The Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland, London.
In the late 1940s, Arthur Charles King, a pioneer and manufacturer of anaesthetic equipment, was sponsored by the British Oxygen Company on a lecture tour of Europe, Africa and Australasia. More details of his life can be read here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1290960/pdf/jrsocmed00172-0052.pdf .
The film can was re-used and was clearly marked 'Gas-air anaesthesia' prior to re-canning, although the contents are Charles King's world tour.
