Canada
Part of a large collection of medical artifacts, archival material & trade literature transferred to CSTM in 2002 from the former History of Medicine Museum, Toronto ON. Volume of correspondence in UHN file suggests this machine may have been owned & used by Dr. I. Ruebert Smith in Toronto c. 1939-1941+. Stevens & Son Co., Toronto, ON. sold the Bryant apparatus in late 1930s. [see correspondence file in s.i.]
Function
To stimulate and massage the vocal cords.
Technical

Motor driven disks rotate at selected speed, producing sound: "note" produced is matched to problem sound range of patient undergoing treatment. (ref.2)
