Major Rex Marrett in 1945 was commissioned to design an anaesthetic apparatus for field use to replace the Field Pattern Boyle's apparatus in use during the Second World War. His design was both elegant and avant garde and was capable of being used with all agents and circuitry then in current use. It was an economical machine with vaporizer in circle and carbon dioxide absorption as its chief mode of operation. The equipment and its later developments are described. Eventually the desire for knowing volatile agent concentrations led to its decline with production ceasing in 1976.
1945年，雷克斯·马雷特少校受命设计一种野战用麻醉设备，以取代第二次世界大战期间使用的野战型博伊尔设备。他的设计既优雅又前卫，能够与当时所有正在使用的麻醉剂和回路配合使用。这是一台经济实惠的机器，采用环路蒸发器和二氧化碳吸收作为主要操作模式。文中描述了该设备及其后续发展。最终，由于想要了解挥发性麻醉剂浓度，该设备逐渐衰落，于1976年停产。
