Some of his 27 predecessors: George Chapman (1614), Alexander Pope (1726), William Cowper (1791), William Cullen Bryant (1871), William Morris (1887), George Herbert Palmer (1891).

...incipient tuberculosis in children could be discerned, doctors could ultimately wipe it out. Mr. Wright told this to Tinkerer Frank Powers who mused, perfected a system which would take 100 positive x-ray pictures on a roll of paper without using celluloid film at all. With Cloyd Mason Chapman, onetime Edison engineer, he then developed an x-ray machine which automatically focuses the x-rays on the subject to be examined and adjusts the x-ray current to the proper intensity. With this device two operators can make x-ray pictures of three persons a minute. The Powers...
