Figure 2
A hand drawn diagram showing a comparison of two techniques for the coagulation time as published by Dr C Merskey in 1950. Two haemophiliacs had their coagulation times measured every second day. Four readings for the Dale and Laidlaw method fell in or near the normal range, but repetition of three of them (circles) all fell outside the normal range. The broken lines illustrate the normal range of each test.
