Notes

Film copy given to Wellcome by the Wessex Film and Sound Archive in 1989. It was copied from the 35mm nitrate stock original. A 16mm reduction print was copied from the 35mm.The captions are very indistinct and difficult to read, except in very subdued light; they explain each stage of the operation.
