Description

Photograph of women workers with orange x-ray machines, ca.1930. At center, two women can be seen near the large frame of a machine. The women in the foreground on the right can be seen wearing a long, darkly-colored dress. Six white buttons are visible along her hip, and a lightly colored blouse can be seen beneath her dress. Also, she wears two lightly-colored gloves while handling the side of the machine. Several small beams are visible near the woman's hands. Below the woman's hands, two large handles protrude from the side of the machine. Above the woman's hands, a slanted extension of the machine leans towards the body of the woman. The woman can be seen looking into the rectangular panel at the top of the extension. In the background, the head of another woman can be seen. The woman is shown staring into the face of the extension in a way similar to the woman in the foreground. In the extreme foreground on the left, a small pressure gauge is visible on a panel.
