Dear All
I just wanted to say in the AAT's favour that the Science Museum in London
is using it for all their collections and will be officially adding terms.
We will probably also use it but will add terms unofficially, if need be.
We have very little in the way of surgical instruments but do have
pharmaceutical collections.
