...Nashville want even more safety than that. It is ridiculous, they say, to fire X rays at so big a circle when the target is a rectangle only 1 in. by 1½ in.

In their machine, the Nashville dentists use a stainless-steel plate with a rectangular window to accomplish collimation; they also use much more shielding and a steel bracket to hold the film just where it ought to be, without subjecting the patient's hand to radiation.
