Summary: Premature infants in incubators and being fed, bathed, and dressed by nurses. Footage is quite choppy and sometimes of poor quality. There are some intertitles and signs identifying individual infants.
The Archives Center's copy listed in previous Medical Sciences Film Catalogue as "N.Y. World's Fair, 1939-1940, Incubator Baby."

RF 222.56 appears to be a compiled reference print of the films labeled "Coll. #222 Can #1" and "Gesell #2068" which were photochemically duplicated for preservation in 1988 at Bono Film & Video Services in February 1989. 

Gesell #2068 and Gesell #2069 were forwarded to the Historical Audiovisuals Collection at the National Library of Medicine in July 1989, as a transfer from the Gesell Institute of Human Development.
