was it safe to go on it? if so, i am so going down there

there are letters under the word dispatch,looks like B N C

We have these in the ladies rooms in some bathrooms on the Umass Amherst campus.

In thr late 60's and early 70's this item was the first respirators that we put on patients in the ER. It was mounted on an aluminum pole with wheels and was called a "bird" respirator. Since it was originally designed as anethesia device there were several paramiters that could not be refined. So it served as a temporary device until a full fledged respirator showed up. Interesting to see one again.

Room air is 21% oxygen, The other 79% is made up of many different gases. Humans produce carbon dioxide when they breath.
If to much oxygen is in your system you will pass out until the Baro receptiors pick up the increased concentration of carbon dioxide and cause you to breath again. This is what happens when people hyperventilate. This is a fairly old type of anesthesia machine. Interesting to see it.
Thanks for the great pics.
