Nowadays, the disposable obstetrical kits are the norm. Either a cardboard box (if you're old school!) or a plastic bag is all I've ever seen.
I picked up a Dyna-Med cardboard boxed kit that looks like it dates from the late 1970s for my 1970 Oldsmobile Cotington 48. But what about the 1963 Chrysler-Pinner? There's discussion they had some kind of kit in a news article.
Squad 51 was shown to carry this rather impressive sized hard boxed kit during Emergency!. I don't recall it being actually opened during the show for me to see the contents, but I may be wrong. Is this realistic to folks recollection? It seems rather large though, particularly for Advanced First Aid staffed units. I don't really have any good guesses on contents since we're predating all of the disposable stuff we use today. I imagine it'd be roughly comparable (the disposable kits had to come from something!) so I imagine sterile gloves, scissors more likely than scalpel, hemostats instead of those plastic clamps, and linen items instead of the paper products.
Any other ideas or resources on what folks might have carried?
