Heidbrink applied to patent the 'Anesthetizer' in 1912. The example pictured here is a Model T. Dr. Jay A. Heidbrink (1875-1957) named the first version "Model A." Noteworthy changes in the evolution of the apparatus were marked by an update in the name to the next letter of the alphabet, ending at the Model T.
Dr. Heidbrink, a dentist, began manufacturing anesthesia equipment by remodeling a Teter Nitrous Oxide Apparatus for his own dental practice. He founded a company that made a wide range of anesthetic equipment; the Heidbrink Company was acquired by The Ohio Chemical & Manufacturing Company in the late 1930s. As a manufacturer and lecturer, Dr. Heidbrink developed professional and personal relationships with a number of well-respected anesthesiologists, including Doctors Elmer I. McKesson (1881-1935), Arthur Guedel (1883-1956), Ralph Waters (1919-1923) and John Lundy (1894-1973).
