In the dark room, with only the light of the dark room lantern we IXC RADIOGRAPHS 69 open our box of plates,* take out one, carefully close the box, and placethe plate in an envelope of black, light-proof paper just large enough toreceive it. Now place plate, black envelope, ct <//., in another envelopeof black and orange-colored paper, putting the open end of the first en-velope in hrst. We may now expose this package to ordinary daylightand artificial light with impunity, and the plate is ready for use in themaking of a radiograph. These envelopes are obtained from the Fig. C9. Shoeing how to handle a plate by its edges. While in the dark room, before putting the plate in the envelope, wemust note which is the sensitive side, and bear this in mind until theoutside envelope is marked properly to designate it. As formerly stated,the sensitive side is a little less glossy. Another way to determine whichis the coated side is to look through the plate just at the edge. Whenthe glass side is up, one is able to look through the glass and see the filmbeneath. The sensitive side of the plate should present toward thesmooth side of the envelope—away from the seam side. The plate should be handled by the edges. ( Fig. 69.) This appliesto the handling of the plate at all times, and to the handling of the filmas well.
