radium dial painters



Dear RadSafers

how much dose did the radium dial painters receive (circa 1925)? I know
this isn't a simple question. I have a graph attributed to J. Newell
Stannard which indicates that for cumulative doses  of "1,000" or less,
there were no cancers; but the graph has no units, e.g., this might be
1,000 rad CEDE, or local tissue dose, etc.

Are there any references on the web with quantitative data?

thank you, mike
