Instrument - Ellinger-type uterine dilator, Medical Supply Depot
Metal surgical instrument. Consists of scissor like handles with circular finger grips atop two metal arms. There is a metal gauge extending between the handles approximately an inch below the finger grips which provides a measurement as to how far apart the tips of the instrument are at any given time. A curved metal plate is attached between the handles below the gauge which functions as a spring to give some resistance to the instrument. The arms are joined together by a pin at the centre. Metal plates attached to the underside of the lower part of the arms lock into place as the instrument is opened. Each arm narrows in the last two inches and ends in a round point, with the end points resembling the nose of a pair of pliers. The words 'MEDICAL SUPPLY DEPOT' are engraved on one arm of the instrument. The number '18' is engraved on the inside of both arms towards the tip.'MEDICAL SUPPLY DEPOT', '18'gynaecology -

Photograph - Equipment used in Map Production at the Army Survey Regiment, 1991
These nine photographs of technical equipment were provided to the Directorate of Survey as input to the 1990-1991 Annual Report. The equipment in Photos .1P and .2P were used to evaluate/validate colour values on printed maps. The equipment in Photo .3P is a daylight film processor. The Optronix 5040 Laser Scanner/Plotter was shown in Photos .4P to .6P. The Print Room’s Map Handling Station in photo .7P provided ergonomic benefits to the Printer Technician and improved despatching productivity. The Optical Disk Archive and Retrieval System (ODARS) equipment in .8P was optical "platter" disk technology for the secure and long term archive storage of large amounts of digital map data. Map data was transferred from large reels of magnetic tape. As most map type (letters and names) generation was done in Automap 2, The ITEK Typesetter shown in photo .9P was close to obsolete in 1991. At this time it was used to generate map type for other RASvy units, contractors and sections still performing manual map production at Army Svy Regt.This is a set of photographs of Army Survey Regiment technical equipment taken in 1991. The photographs were printed on photographic paper and are part of the Army Survey Regiment’s Collection. The photographs were scanned at 300 dpi. .1) - Photo, black & white, 1991, Colour Evaluation Workstation No 1, Lithographic Squadron .2) - Photo, black & white, 1991, Colour Evaluation Workstation No 2, Lithographic Squadron .3) - Photo, black & white, 1991, Daylight film processor, Lithographic Squadron, Daylight Working Contacting Frames in background. .4) - Photo, black & white, 1991, Optronix 5040 Laser Scanner/Plotter, Lithographic Squadron .5) - Photo, black & white, 1991, Optronix 5040 Laser Scanner/Plotter, Lithographic Squadron .6) - Photo, black & white, 1991, Optronix 5040 Laser Scanner/Plotter, Lithographic Squadron .7) - Photo, black & white, 1991, Map Handling Station, Lithographic Squadron .8) - Photo, black & white, 1991, Optical Disk Archive and Retrieval System (ODARS), Cartographic Squadron .10) - Photo, black & white, 1991, Optronix 5040 Laser Scanner/Plotter, Lithographic Squadron .9) - Photo, black & white, 1991, ITEK Typesetter, Cartographic Squadron.1P, .2P, .4P to .10P – equipment description annotated on back .3P - no annotation.royal australian survey corps, rasvy, army survey regiment, army svy regt, fortuna, asr, litho, automap -

Equipment - Inhaler, Clover, The Holborn Surgical Instrument Company, 1877
Dr. Joseph Clover (1825-1882), an English physician, first described his Portable Regulating Ether Inhaler on Jan. 20, 1877. Clover was an especially sought after anesthesiologist and early pioneer in the specialty. This was the best-known of many inhalers that Clover designed. The dome-shaped reservoir was turned to points on a control dial to gradually increase or decrease the percentage of the air that passed over the ether. Several inventors based new inhalers on this, while the original continued to be manufactured as late as the beginning of WWII. Clover, to spare the patient the unpleasantness of induction with his "closed" inhaler (1877), suggested the "mitigated-ether" technique. The inhaler was fitted with a bypass tap for the reception of N2O. The bag was filled with the gas and anaesthesia was inducted a combination of N2O and asphyxiation. Ether was then admitted gradually by rotation of the bowl of the inhaler. When the patient had been duly "weaned over" to ether, the mask was lifted, the N2O allowed to escape, the bag refilled with exhaled air, and normal anaesthesia "a la Clover's inhaler" was continued.Metal domed chamber with a bulb attachment for rebreather bag, including a tap mechanism. Remnants of the paper rebreather bag are attached to the bulb. At the other end is a yellow facemask made of plastic (probably celluloid). The manufacturer's logo has been moulded into the dome of the chamber.Manufacturer's logo: THE HOLBORN / SURGICAL INSTRUMENT CO.
