Inside Information explores the different uses of X-rays, as well as the machines that harness them. Wonderful vintage technology in action, the film shows: police checking for bombs by X-raying packages, X-rays being used to check for defects in airplane parts in a factory, a boy getting an X-ray in a doctorâs office, and a car brake is shown in cutaway and X-ray. The car brake is shown in some detail, and is compared to a human ankle, which is also shown though X-rays. As a piece of the history of science and technology, Inside Information accomplishes everything it sets out to.
