Horse-power is used in this sense merely as theexpression of a unit of energy. Dr. Mur-lin dc\isctl this apparatus for use in thestudy of the energy requirement of thenew-born child. A baby unconsciously writes the storyof its energy by means of its pulse andits breathing. A small cuff is attachedto the left leg of the infant above theknee. From this cuff a tube leads to aglass connection, j)assing through thewall of the incubator and finally to aT-lubc on the top of the incubator.
