Period

Canada
Dr. Richard Proctor, University of Manitoba Graduate who served in France starting in 1915. Previously in charge of the X-Ray department in the Strathcona Hospital in Edmonton he is noted to have changed his Meyers X-Ray machine to a Victor in 1925.
Function
Used to produce graphic images of internal structures.S. Therapeutic X-ray sets exist for the treatment of skin and superficial disorders, and these consist of an X-ray generator and suitable positioning and beam collimating equipment. However, the majority of X-ray apparatus is for the production of images on film or video screens for diagnostic purposes. 6
Technical
Early, elaborate x-ray machine features both fluoroscoping (diagnostic) and radiographic (treatment) apparatus, and a table capiable of both vertical and horizontal positioning. Probably used with separate curved potter-bucky. X-ray machines were able to take only single films. The unit usually has the tube mounted above, and the film below. The tube can usually be moved to various positions and angles including the horizontal position for chest films, in which case the cassette and Bucky are in a separate stand. 6
