Mass Radiography.
The Unit centred on West Ham, visited the Borough during
the period 29/11/48 to 9/12/48, and operated from the Drill Hall,
Vicarage Lane.
The applicants were dealt with at the rate of 150—200 per
session for five days per week—mornings for males, afternoons
for females.
Over 200 letters were sent to firms and approximately 50
replied. The small response made was due in some measure to
the distance applicants would hare to travel and interference with
normal working, especially in view of the export drive.
