The orange tinged model was made in standard pink Zelex alginate impression material after which the local agents of the Amalgamated Dental Company produced spinal batches of unpigmented material for research. A=Orange, B=Clear. Used from 1953 in Melbourne. Referenced in the publication 'In Defence of Ivory Towers' by Henry Forman Atkinson.
