| The above photos show a
Wolf X-ray intra-oral cassette in the closed and open configurations. The
cardboard box it came in identifies it as catalog number 417.
It would be inserted horizontally into the mouth and the x-ray tube was positioned on top of the head pointing downward. It is described in a 1955 Picker X-ray Corporation catalog as "Improved and redesigned, the new Goldsmith Intra-Oral Cassette turns out remarkable occlusal radiographs, exposed through the cranium for 1 1/2 to 2 seconds. . . indispensible in cleft palate operations, localization of impactions, foreign bodies and fractures." Size: 2 1/2" x 3 1/4" Donated by Ron Kathren. |
