Description
Dr. Encausse was the son of a famous occulist who claimed, “sport is a means of strengthening the body, improving the race and creating health.” The card is a handy reference for norms of male and female bodily measurements. It gives values for average heights, pulse, and vital capacity (forced maximum expiration after maximum inhalation) by age and weight. Pull the card to change the age and thereby the norms.
