Dr. Glover’s Téléstéthoscope Électrique: Early Electric Stethoscope

  We are offering an example of Glover’s Téléstéthoscope Électrique, an early stethoscope that employed electricity and telephone technology. It is mechanically complete but lacks the battery, which ​was presumably removed because, not surprisingly after a 100 years, it was corroded and leaking​. Note low serial number on label that is affixed to front of case. A link to a contemporary article that discusses this instrument is provided below. Case is 27 cm in length. Maker is Fumouze et Cie, working in Paris.    https://www.google.com/books/edition/Archives_d_%C3%A9lectricit%C3%A9_m%C3%A9dicale_et_de/sBIkAQAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Glover+Tele+Stethoscope+Electrique&pg=PR55&printsec=frontcover — Read More...
