content: This electrocardiograph belonged to Dr. Mancusi-Ungaro (1882-1972), an internist who established the first heart clinic in Newark. It was made by G. Boulitte, an instrument maker in Paris who offered apparatus for physiology and medicine. Boulitte was a successor to Ch. Verdin (est. 1875), and in business by 1911. By 1926, he had a shop in New York City. According to several accounts, Boulitte “builds a simple and compact string galvanometer designed by Mr. Lucien Bull, of the Institute Marey.”
