1851 Great Exhibition: Official Catalogue: Class X.: George Bottomley
From Graces Guide
657. BOTTOMLEY, GEORGE, Croydon, Surrey — Inventor.
New splint for fractured thigh, with a leather belt for the chest, perineal band, boot and knee straps. The object of this apparatus is to apply and maintain firm extension, in a line parallel with the axis of the body, which can be exactly regulated by means of the thumbscrew at the end; also by keeping the limb uncovered (as by bandages, etc.) to permit the free use of local applications and adjustments.
Model of the same, upon a lay figure, showing the mode of application.
