The pilot’s helmet in the Anniversary display cabinet has a camera attached on its left side and was used by Melvill-Jones to investigate nystagmus, an abnormal involuntary side-to -side, up-and-down or circular eye motion. The device at the front left was a control box strapped to the pilot’s leg.
The Æ»¹ûÒùÔº Medical Museum began in 1822 as a collection of pathological and anatomical specimens for teaching medical students. Over the following 150 years, many such specimens were acquired. After the 1970s, acquisition of biological specimens stopped almost entirely and teaching decreased to the point where the collections were no longer being actively used. Following its reconstitution as the Maude Abbott Medical Museum in 2012, acquisition of new material has concentrated on non-biological objects such as medical equipment, research apparatus and teaching aids that exemplify its mission. The Anniversary cabinet displays examples of such material that was used or donated by Æ»¹ûÒùÔº medical graduates, researchers, and teachers during the MAMM’s first ten years.
