I pass one of these hanging on the wall as our emergency stretcher in the US Navy Command where I work.

Judging by the quality of the paint, etc., it might have been off this very ship.

I have a kid who would go to work like that if she could. Some mornings, I have to wake her up with a defibrillator.

When I retired off submarines in 1998 the Stokes stretcher was still in use. I never realized it was an eighty year old invention.
