E. Waller was raised in Vancouver before becoming an RAF pilot during WWII; he attended the University of Washington Dental School from 1949-1953, and practiced in Prince George, BC until his death; he was president of the BC Dental Association from 1966-67 and president of the College of Dental Surgeons of BC from 1973-74; he most likely received the articulator as a student, since House articulators were used by some dental schools; the rotary occlusal grinder on top of the articulator was part of the original design patented in 1927 by Dr. Milus M. House, while the articulator as a whole is a later design

M. Hight, was to help dentists create the "correct bite" between an upper and lower denture; the tracers would record the movement of patient's mouth, which could then be transferred to the articulator to finish the dentures
