GB 2127 JUBY, A J 1926-1984 Collection (fonds) 1.5 boxes Juby , Alan James , fl 1929-1984 , anaesthetic instrument maker
A J Juby was an anaesthetic instrument maker employed by the firm A Charles King Ltd and subsequently by the British Oxygen Company Ltd. A Charles King (1888-1965) was an engineer and instrument maker who specialised in anaesthetic apparatus from the early 1920s, a period of technical development in the specialty. Following a series of financial problems King's company was taken over by Coxeter's, which subsequently became part of the British Oxygen Company (BOC). King worked with leading anaesthetists in developing instruments and amassed a collection of equipment, which he donated to the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland in 1953 and which has subsequently been augmented by further acquisitions. The collection was moved from King's premises in Devonshire Street to the Royal College of Surgeons in 1965 and to the new premises of the Association of Anaesthetists at no 9 Bedford Square in 1987.

Donated to the Association by Juby's widow via Dr D J Wilkinson.
