DAMAGE IN TRANSPORTATION
All packages should be closely examined at time of delivery. If damage is
apparent, have notation of “bad order” placed by the delivering driver on
ail copies of the freight or express bill. If damage is of a concealed nature,
notify transportation agent as soon as possible to make an “inspection report
of damage” but in any event not later than 15 days after delivery. A trans-
portation company usually will not pay a claim for concealed damage if an
inspection is not requested within this 15 day period. Complete instructions
regarding claim procedure are found in section ‘’$’’ of the Policy & Proce-
dure Bulletins.
If shipment was handled by moving van service - uncrated - call Traffic -
Milwaukee immediately when any damage is found. Do not attempt to call
any local agent. At this time be ready to describe type of damage, type of
equipment, serial numbers and if possible the order number.
The above paragraph is in regard to equipment requiring installation only,
and does not apply to supply items. The F.0.B. point for these items is as
shown in the Price Book.

used may cause injury. Accord-
ingly, the instructions herein con-
tained should be thoroughly read
and understood before you
attempt

ment in use.

porates a high degree of pro-
tection against x-radiation other

tical design of equipment can
provide complete protection. Nor
can any practical design compel
the operator to take adequate
precautions to prevent the possi-
bility of any persons carelessly,
unwisely, or unknowingly expos-
ing themselves or others to
radiation.
it is important that everyone hav-
ing anything to do with x-radia-
tion be properly trained and fuily
acquainted with the recommen-
dations of the National Council
on Radiation Protection and Mea-
surements as published in NCRP
Reports available from NCRP

Avenue, Room 1016, Bethesda,
Maryland 20814, and of the Inter-
national Commission on Radia-
tion Protection, and take ade-
quate steps to insure protection
against injury.
All persons authorized to use the
equipment must be cognizant of
the danger of excessive exposure
to x-radiation and the equipment
is sold with the understanding
that the General Electric Com-
pany, Medical Systems Group, its
agents, and representatives have
no responsibility for injury or
