Abstract
THE brochure on “X-Ray Materials and Accessories”, published by Messrs. Kodak, Ltd., might well contain the word 'photographic' did not the name of Kodak at once conjure up the word ; its forty pages are devoted to a description of photographic supplies for medical and dental X-ray work. Routine work demands rigid control of variables for its quick effectiveness, and this firm has realized that, provided the actual exposures are reasonably correct, the development of X-ray films can be standardized by the use of reliable reagents, proper timing and regulation of the working temperatures. In the planning of X-ray departments, insufficient attention is sometimes given to the developing and printing rooms, where laborious hours are spent in semi-darkness. Efficient planning should reduce these hours to a minimum, and the experience of Messrs. Kodak is at the service of those planning and being responsible for the photographic work in X-ray departments.
