Taking the X out of X-Rays

This 1940 Westinghouse film demystifies X-rays and radiation, stripping away the unknown—hence the “X.” In black-and-white with sound, it likely features lab-coated scientists demonstrating X-ray machines, showing how rays reveal bones or industrial flaws, and explaining radiation basics with simple animations or models. Aimed at a curious public, it blends education with reassurance, spotlighting Westinghouse’s role in advancing medical and industrial tech in a pre-WWII push for scientific literacy.
