An Optically Recording Tambour Flowmeter and a Compensator for Large Volume Blood Flow

Abstract
An optically recording flowmeter for measuring rate and volume of blood flow in experimental animals by the phlebotomy method is described. The advantages of the flowmeter are its great accuracy, sensitivity, linear calibration, minimal time lag, and above all its simplicity when used with optically recording manometers. In conjunction with a simple ``compensating switch'' for the outflowing blood, it permits measurement of very large volume flows without reduction of the arterial blood pressure.
