MASS RADIOGRAPHY.
The Mass Radiography Unit made a second visit to Morden
and was set up at the Baptist Hall from the 26th September
to the 21st October. The response by factory managements to
the invitation to allow their employees the necessary time to
be dealt with in groups was most generous. Sessions were also
reserved for school children over 14, and special sessions set
aside for patients referred by General Practitioners in the area.
There were also sessions for the general public to take advantage
of the facilities on their own initiative.
