Biographical / Historical
In 1952 the Cambridge Instrument Company made its first electro-cardiograph with a vale amplifier. The 'Electrite' had a heated stylus which 'wrote' on waxed paper. The instrument was superseded about 1959 by the Cambridge Instrument Company's first transistorised electro-cardiograph, the 'Transrite', and this was restyled in 1963 as the 'Transrite III'.
