Identifying Radiographs<br />

Because <strong>of</strong> their high absorption, lead numbers or letters affixed to the<br />

subject furnish a simple means <strong>of</strong> identifying radiographs. They may also be<br />

used as reference marks to determine the location <strong>of</strong> discontinuities within the<br />

specimen. Such markers can be conveniently fastened to the object with<br />

adhesive tape. A code can be devised to minimize the amount <strong>of</strong> lettering<br />

needed. Lead letters are commercially available in a variety <strong>of</strong> sizes and<br />

styles. The thickness <strong>of</strong> the letters chosen should be great enough so that<br />

their image is clearly visible on exposures with the most penetrating radiation<br />

routinely used. Under some circumstances it may be necessary to put the<br />

lead letters on a radiation-absorbing block so that their image will not be<br />

"burned out". (?) The block should be considerably larger than the legend<br />

itself.<br />
