Markings

"film/ marker/ GENERAL [GE logo] ELECTRIC" printed in white in box top. Following text printed on inside top of lid: "INSTRUCTIONS/ PROVIDED TO FACILITATE THE IDENTIFICATION OF RADIOGRAPHS, THIS FILM MARKER WHEN/ PROPERLY USED WILL PRODUCE A LEGEND OF MAXIMUM CLARITY AND PREVENTS THE "BURNING OUT"/ OF THE CHARACTERS WHEN COMPARATIVELY HEAVY EXPOSURES ARE USED./ THE SET CONSISITS OF THREE PARTS, A CLIP, A FILTER AND AN ASSORTMENT OF LEAD CHAR-/ ACTERS. ANY ARRANGEMENT OF CHARACTERS MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE USER MAY BE/ EMPLOYED BUT IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE TOP LINE BE USED FOR CASE OR SERIAL NUMBER AND IDEN-/ TIFICATION OF RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE, AND THE LOWER LINE FOR THE DATE./ THE FILTER SHOULD BE USED FOR HEAVY EXPOSURES, WHILE BEST RESULTS WILL BE OBTAINED IN/ LIGHT EXPOSURES BY USE OF THE CLIP ALONE. FOR AVERAGE RADIOGRAPHS THE MARKER MAY BE/ PLACED DIRECTLY IN THE PATH OF THE PRIMARY RADIATION. FOR HEAVIER EXPOSURES SUCH AS A / LATERAL LUMBAR SPINE, BETTER RESULTS WILL BE OBTAINED IF THE MARKER IS PLACED UNDER THE/ PATIENT. BECAUSE THERE IS NO ESTABLISHED METHOD FOR PLACING A MARKER ON A FILM, A FEW/ TRIALS MAY BE NECESSARY TO SHOW HOW IT MAY BE USED TO BEST ADVANTAGE, AND WHEN OR/ WHEN NOT TO USE THE FILTER./ WHEN USING THE FILTER INSERT THE CLIP SO THAT THE SHORT GUIDE CHANNEL OF THE FILTER IS/ AT THE TOP. THIS WILL PERMIT THE CASE NUMBER TO BE CHANGED WITHOUT REMOVING THE CLIP./ GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., X-RAY DEPT., MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN. MADE IN U.S.A.
