Do not confuse ventilator with respirator. A respirator is a device worn to protect someone from harmful gases, fumes, or dusts in the air. A ventilator is the device that provides assisted breathing. To be clear, I've changed 'respirator' to 'ventilator' in this article except for the patented name. ddlamb 08:47, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

This guy has a fascinating background but there isn't much readily available about some details of his life on the internet (as far as I can find). He got his medical degree in Brazil, but there's nothing in the article about how he got there. He also apparently was a colonel in the military, but there is nothing about his service in the article. Anyone have any sources? MartinezMD ( talk) 07:51, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
My dad worked for Veriflo in Richmond, California, which assembled the respirators for Bird. The company makes gas regulation equipment. It was later acquired by Parker Hannifin. It continues to sell to the semiconductor industry. (I'm now in the semiconductor industry and have seen their booth at trade shows.) My dad would bring reject parts home so we had many of the cylindrical control magnets on our fridge in the 60s and 70s. When work got busy, my parents would build assemblies at home after hours. Smoking ultimately killed my dad and the company gave him a Bird for his final year, so I (unfortunately) got familiar with operating and cleaning it.

„Bird discovered an oxygen regulator in a crashed German bomber he was ferrying to the U.S. for study seemed to contain a pressure breathing circuit. He took the oxygen regulator home, studied it, and made it more functional.” The link provided does not say this, there is little to no information about this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.27.132.206 ( talk) 11:09, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
