Reducing gearbox with nine ratios, for use with Dale-Schuster pump, probably used by Sir Henry Dale, 1927-1930

The Dale-Schuster pump was used to pump blood within an artificial circuit outside the body of an animal. It is a double perfusion pump, developed in 1928, and takes its name from researchers Henry Dale (1875-1968) and Edgar Hermann Joseph Schuster (1899-1969).
