Scientists expressed concern that genetic manipulation could inadvertently trigger disease outbreaks. A notable scientific instrument with unusual provenance was presented as a gift to Nature. Historical archive material accompanies the account and includes images, articles and language that may be offensive by modern standards. The archive content originates from fifty years ago and is presented with a caution about historical context and sensitivity. The material underscores both early biosecurity worries and the archival preservation of scientific artifacts and records.
