Mechanized X-ray equipment has been designed 
and effectively used for nondestructive inspection of 
structural weldments at various positions on very large 
tanks. The equipment mechanizes the placement of the 
film, automates the identification process, adheres to 
the safety requirements, and in general eliminates all 
the time-consuming manual operations which are nor-
mally required in industrial radiography. 
Inquiries concerning this equipment may be di-
rected to:
