Did anyone answer this ?  (We've had a technical fault here which puts me
a bit behind the times). If this ecg is a Cambridge Instruments machine
made in this country (UK), then it will have a serial number with a `C'
or `L' prefix. These give date ranges which, in the case of `C' numbers
are to the specific year. A list published by a musem group GSTMC gives
the details. If you give the serial number a date can be supplied.
