notes: label: Description
content: A phlebaumanometer measures blood pressure in veins and is especially useful for infants. The form was devised in the early 1940s by two cardiologists working at the Tulane University Medical School: George Edward Burch (1910-1986) and Travis Walter Winsor (1915-1996). W. A. Baum & Co. introduced the name to commerce in 1949 and applied for a trademark. An inscription on this example reads "Property of Burch and Winsor."
