…and quack devices. A museum-style collection of antique medical, surgical & pseudo-medical apparatus — violet-ray wands, electropathic belts, radionics boxes, embalming machines, and early electrotherapy — studied device by device.

How to search

sten gun
pages with both words
"sten gun"
the words together, as a phrase
sten OR sterling
either one (| works too)
sten -replica
leave out pages that mention “replica”

Without quotes, the last word also matches longer words that start with it (sten finds Stenophylla), and close word forms count (rifle finds rifles). Tick Exact words to match whole words only.

Whole deep dives are listed first, then the pages inside them.
