Not illustrated. 1915 Excerpt: ...same manner as for forceps delivery except that, if possible, she should lie on a firm table instead of on the bed. She is to be placed in the lithotomy position, and the legs are to be supported in some form of leg-holder ( Figs. 112 and 113), or with the metal leg supporters screwed to the sides of the table if the physician has them. A strong, narrow kitchen table is the best for use in private practice, and it is to be covered with a folded blanket, rubber sheeting, and a clean white sheet, all pinned securely under the corners. As the patient will be removed to her bed as soon as the operation is concluded, she may be anaesthetized in bed, and need not know that a table is to be used.

A Kelly pad is to be placed under the patient's buttocks, to drain into a pail at the foot of the table, and there should be a small table at the head for the hypodermic syringe and other articles used by the anaesthetist.
