Geoffrey Kaye Museum of Anaesthetic History
Equipment - Inhaler, Probyn Williams (sectioned), Mayer & Co. London, c. 1900
Dr Geoffrey Kaye was a clinical anaesthetist at a time when very few full time anaesthetists existed.

This Probyn Williams Inhaler is one apparatus which has been sectioned and the various elements of the inhaler have been painted to highlight the differences in function.Oval shaped metal inhaler with attached metal facemask. The inhaler has been sectioned to reveal its inner workings and the ether chamber has been painted black while the air-channel has been painted red. The manufacturer's logo, stamped into the inhaler, has been sectioned as well, leaving only half the information available.Engraved on dome side of inhaler: PROBYN WILLIAMS / G.K. sect. 1939 •Stamped into dome side of inhaler MAYER & / LONanaesthesia, anaesthetist, inhaler, ether, medical history -
