notes: label: Description
content: This carbon arc lamp is one of four pieces of equipment that comprise one of the earliest electrocardiographs in the United States. Built by the Cambridge Scientific Instrument Company, it was used by Dr. Frank Norman Wilson (1890-1952) at the University of Michigan in his pioneering studies in electrocardiography in the 1920s. This piece, along with an early 1920s control box (MG.M-06774) and camera (MG.M-06775), was used with a previously obtained 1914 string galvanometer (MG.M-06773).
