Keywords: 80-G-706986: Getting all set for a dose of X-Rays from the Navy’s 10-million volt Betatron (background) at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory, White Oak, Maryland, is this 17,000-pound stockless anchor, which is being surveyed for possible internal flaws on structural weaknesses. The rays of the Betatron, the world’s first mobile x-ray generator of its size, are capable of penetrating up to 16 inches of steel. In the case of this anchor, several sectional X-Ray shadowgraphs will be made to study detail. Landon Burt, (left), a physical science aid at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory is marking off the various sections to be X-Rayed while Edward Criscuolo, NOL radiologist checks the beam direction on the Betatron’s “Eye”, released March 23, 1949. U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives.
