Anne Chamney
Anne Rosemary Chamney CEng MIMechE (16 April 1931 - 9 December 2008)[1] was a mechanical engineer specialising in medical equipment.[2] She is best know for her invention of a novel oxygen tent which was much cheaper than existing tents, it was also lighter and therefore easier to transport.[2] Chamney studied at the Royal Aeronautical Society and became an apprentice at the De Havilland Aircraft Company in Hatfield in 1953.[3] Later she became a senior technician at University College Hospital Medical School where she evaluated hospital equipment. Chamney was awarded the first James Clayton Prize in Medical Engineering from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.[4]
