Notes

RUSSELL JOHN REYNOLDS CBE, MB Lond., FRCP, FFR, MIEE 1880-1964 was a pioneer in the field of cineradiography. Throughout the 1900s his career spanned the development of radiography both as a therapeutic and a diagnostic tool. Examples of his earliest experimental work in cineradiograhy in 1921 are held by the BFI National Film and Television Archive, London.
