The Department of Physics carried out research for the Department of National Defence during World War II involving C313 demand valve. This apparatus produced in the Physics workshop is an early test model of the C313 demand valve. The serial # 1 of the assembly line further modified by the addition of an override to release oxygen continuously at altitude over 30,000 ft. No further models of this override were produced.
