Right at the Museum

Recently I returned to working in a museum

One of my first activities was to create this interpretive panel for their iron lung.

It surprised me as I'd already written about this item when I worked here six years ago, but returning to it I learned this is a Both respirator.

Edward Both was an inventor considered the "Edison of Australia" and he had a remarkable career in medical and military settings, as well as creating a scoreboard for the Melbourne Olympics.
