Title: A VACUUM OPERATED INSTRUMENT FOR HANDLING RADIUM TUBES

Journal Article · · Brit. J. Radiol.

Application of known principles resulted in the design of an apparatus for reducing exposure of x-ray technicians during the loading and unloading of radium tubes. The device offers the advantage of an increased distance between radium and fingers as compared with the conventionally used 25 mm forceps. A diagram of the instrument is included. (H.M.G.)
