Re: Double Edged Sword

Ted,

A related (though not directly answering your inquiry)...

We have used for sometime "The Double-Edged Sword" as a training

tool for analytical X-ray users (primarily X-ray diffraction). However, 

since most X-ray diffraction machines now are totally

enclosed/interlocked (i.e. cabinet radiography machines), some

have responded to me that they find the "D.E.S." out dated.

As an alternative, we also have researchers view "X-ray Diffraction

Hazards," by Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and "The Invisible

Partner," by ALCOA. Invariable, most users have commented favorably

on the ALCOA tape as being most helpful. I wonder if folks still find the 

"Double-Edged Sword" useful and if other tapes are recommended.
