Emergency Hospital: 1920
Washington, D.C., circa 1920. "Emergency Hospital, interior." The latest in lab facilities. Harris & Ewing Collection glass negative. View full size.
Speed Regulator
The switch box over the woman's shoulder is a speed regulator for the drum-shaped centrifuge right behind her at her feet. The actual spinner head is inside; the drum is meant to contain the infectious glass shrapnel if the test tubes shatter at high speed.

Photographer's instructions
"Alright, everybody, look busy!"
