Transportation was provided by regularly scheduled MATS of the U. S. Air Force through the interest and support of Brigadier General Otis O. Benson, Commandant of the U. S. A. F. School of Aviation Medicine. The A. E. C. provided the equipment. The work would not have been possible without the generous cooperation of Professor Alberto Hurtado, who made available to us his laboratories in both Lima and Morococha, and also many other facilities such as transportation to and from Morococha. Thanks are also due to Dr. Emilio Picon, who assisted us throughout the experiments, and Dr. Artemio Miranda. The Cerro de Pasco Mining Corporation was of great assistance to us in many ways at the Oroya and Morococha installations, especially through the assistance of Mr. Richard Quirk, Manager of their Morococha mine and Dr. Knute Berger, Chief Surgeon of the hospital at La Oroya, and Dr. H. L. Crane, the former Chief Surgeon, who facilitated the preliminary arrangements. Finally Mr. Donald H. McLaughlin, of the Cerro de Pasco Corporation, introduced us to various officials of the company and his interest was important to the initiation of the work AboutPDF ToolsRequest permissionExport citationAdd to favoritesTrack citation ShareShare Give accessShare full text accessShare full-text accessPlease review our Terms and Conditions of Use and check box below to share full-text version of article.I have read and accept the Wiley Online Library Terms and Conditions of UseShareable LinkUse the link below to share a full-text version of this article with your friends and colleagues.
