Part of a large donation received from Dr Paul Mitchell's Estate Kymographic tubal insufflation apparatus, no brand, with one circular whole on right side of casing- missing dial. On the left side of the casing there is a spherometer dial which says, 'Dr Rogers Tycos'. Above the casing, there is brass instrumentation including a cylinder with graph paper attached with a needle and an upright glass bottle with brass stopper containing purple ink. The instrument has a 'home-made' look about it. It is possible that Dr Paul Mitchell may have assembled this apparatus himself. Dr Paul Mitchell had made his own "colposcope" using a hospital iv stand, half a pair of binoculars and an improvised light source. The item dates back to the 1970s. Presumably the cost of a colposcope from Germany may have been prohibitively expensive for some gynaecologists in Australia.On the left side of the casing there is a spherometer dial which has an inscription that says 'Dr Rogers Tycos'.
