Figure 5

In the preface to his book The Respiratory Function of the Blood he stated: ‘At one time, which seems too long ago, most of my leisure was spent in boats. In them I learned what little I know of research, not of technique or of physiology, but of the qualities essential to those who would venture beyond the visible horizon.’ From Franklin KJ (1953).
