"I suggest we carry on tonight, mate, and get it done with," he said. "I'm not going to be any good tomorrow morning." Besides, he added, "money is not my god this much." The lookout was overruled and the gang -four or five men and a woman -caught some sleep while Rowlands tried to get the police to listen...

...just that. A regulator unit connected to the heart muscle by wires kept the external pump in phase with the internal organ. As the heart's left ventricle, or major pumping chamber, contracted to force blood through the aorta, the external pump sucked air out of the outer tube, creating negative pressure that helped pull the blood out of the ventricle. Then, as the ventricle relaxed, the pump forced air back into the outer tube, increasing the pressure on the inner passage and forcing the blood through the aorta to the body...
