Sumner Simpson to George R. Weber on the X-Ray Machine in the Manheim Hospital (1943)

A one-page file copy of a letter of December 7, 1943, from Sumner Simpson, president of Raybestos-Manhattan, to George R. Weber, vice president of the United States Asbestos Division at Manheim, Pennsylvania. On the inspection at Manheim the Wednesday before, Simpson had noticed "in the hospital an Xray and fluoroscope machine combined." He asked for its catalogue, cost, floor space, current, milliamperage and transformer strength, and whether it was satisfactory. "We have been contemplating purchasing an Xray machine for a number of years, but the cost has always kept us out of doing so. We have a fluoroscope machine."
