Description

2 concept sketches of hospital beds glued to back board. Bottom page has some orthographic views as well as colored perspective view. Top page has colored perspective view and small sketch of a woman lifting the right side of the bed. Label in center reads: "Hospital Bed Concept Sketches Shampaine Industries, St. Louis, 1968 Hospital patients have problems with accessibility of items on or in the bedside table. These concept sketches alleviated the problem with a hinged table and drawer attached to the headboard. Also, flowers, pictures, and gifts are difficult to see and enjoy; therefore, these two concepts provided fold-flat surfaces in the footboard."
