MASS RADIOGRAPHY
in July the Mass Radiography Unit No. 5A paid a visit to
this District operating at the Darby and Joan hut, Pinner Road,
Northwood, Manor Farm Hall, Manor Farm Approach, Ruislip, and
Victoria Hall, Dulverton Road, Ruislip Manor.
The following figures show the number of persons X-rayed and
those who were recalled for a second examination. It must be
emphasised that these further examinations do not always mean
infection from tuberculosis, but may have regard to some other
abnormality of the chest or the heart.
