Abstract
A PAPER on this subject read before the Institution of Electrical Engineers in London on February 1 by Dr. V. E. Pullin outlines the development of X-radiography in industry and engineering from the time of Röntgen's discovery in 1895. In the first section, developments in uses and equipment up to the beginning of the present War are recorded in broad outline. In the second, the war-time development of engineering and industrial radiography, particularly with regard to Service requirements and inspection, is dealt with. The third section forecasts future radiographic developments in connexion with modifications in engineering inspection and development. The author also foreshadows the trend of development in X-ray apparatus and equipment. Applications of X-ray crystal analysis in industry and the enormous progress made by radiology in the medical and surgical fields are not discussed.
