There's also another x-ray room behind the photographer. There used to be thousands of x-rays all over these rooms...thousands...but every single one of them is gone now.

our old xrays used to be collected by a company that paid the hospital for them.... the reason they collected them was to cash in on the silver contained in the xray print.... I'll bet thats why there are none left at byberry

This is a cool picture! I'm just not quite sure why i like it so much. I think the fact that you can see the machine through the window gives it an even cooler look.

Old thread I know, but older X-ray film is also handy for opening locked doors. And no I'm not going to tell you how I know, either.
