Feb 28, 2009: Scalpel Drum
Scalpel Drum? What the hell is a Scalpel Drum?
This, is a Scalpel Drum.
Wow, that's really impressive. 
Now, what's it for, what's it do?

Test drums for ophthalmic scalpels, still in use by eye doctors around 1965. Made by stretching a piece of kidskin taut on a drum, the scalpel was sharp enough if it cut the fibers under its own weight. This was from before the days of single-use surgical instruments; the scalpels were sharpened and sterilized before procedures.
