Abstract
Many memories flooded back as I read the historical sketch by Harvey Weiss [1]. Of course, I was his contemporary. In the summer of 1967 I was technical assistant to Hans Baumgartner (mentioned and present in the photograph in the article by Harvey) who had arrived at The Royal College of Surgeons in London to study the aggregation of rabbit platelets depleted of their dense granule content of serotonin by the use of reserpine. Part of my function was to ensure that the platelets contained little or none of it using a bioassay based on the principle that serotonin caused the contraction of the rat stomach strip.
