Detects Concrete Defects.

An x-ray outfit for inspecting concrete ships is stated by A. C. Freeman to weigh about 90 pounds. The radiographs taken by the apparatus are expected to show whether the concrete mixture has been kept uniform and compact; to detect any holes or voids In the structure; and to reveal any displacement of the reinforcing material. Such defects, when brought to notice in time, can be remedied before the work is completed.
