The Platters a successful vocal group of the early rock and roll era
In 1946, Westcott became one of the first football platers to be injected with slices of monkey testicle, a bizarre doping programme instigated by manager Major Frank Buckley.
The Dukes became the Guelph Storm; filling the void left when the Platers relocated to Owen Sound.
Spiral platers are also used for research, clinical diagnostics and as a method for covering a Petri dish with bacteria before placing antibiotic discs for AST.
