a
rail-mounted
Coolidge
x-ray
tube
(1913)
and
Bucky-Potter
diaphragm
(1921)
in the
table
bed
,
which
both
helped
reduce
exposure
time
and
attain
x-ray

of
greater
size
and
clarity
. The
tilting
table
incorporates
a
sliding
carriage
underneath
the
table
with
another
Coolidge

projected

a

Cleveland
became
home
to
many
new
medical
technology
industries
after
1900
.
X-ray
equipment
manufacturers
flourished
, as
exemplified
by the
pioneering
Engeln
Electric
Company
. At the
turn
of the
20th
century
,
businessman
Henry
Engeln
collaborated
with
Dr
.
George
Iddings
to
manufacture
static
machines
,
induction
coils
,
fluoroscopes
, and
x-ray
tubes
.
Engeln
soon
opened
a
factory
at
30th
and
Superior
avenues
,
where
they
produced
a
full
line
of
x-ray
and
electro-therapeutic
equipment
in the
1920s
.
Engeln
Electric
Company
was
eventually
bought
out
by
Westinghouse
. They, in
turn
,
sold
the
Cleveland
plant
to
Picker
X-Ray
Corporation
.
Picker
resumed
production
of
equipment
at the
Engeln
site
and, its
corporate
descendent
,
Picker
International
(since
December
1999
,
part
of
Marconi
Medical
Systems)
,
maintains
its
headquarters
in
suburban
Cleveland
