Description: | Charlotte box by Oxygenaire c1950. The Charlotte's box, named after Queen Charlotte's Maternity Hospital, London, was devised originally as a way of giving oxygen to sick babies. It was soon used in the new special care baby units to transform ordinary cots into simple incubators. The heating system comprised a hot water bottle and thermometer inside the perspex box. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | incubator | Temporal: | 1945-1955 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Oxygenaire Ltd. | Identifier: | http://collectionsonline.nmsi.ac.uk/grab... | Go to resource |
