Yes I know these, there is an article of H-G 
ZIMMER "the heart-lung machine was invented 
twice- the first time by Max von Frey" in Clin 
Cardiol 26,433-445 (2003) which is freely available on the internet.
Unfortunately the publication of Linbergh and 
Carrel "The culture of organs" is not freely 
available, I found only the coversheet picture.
