It was an English tweed of rather coarse weave into which was worked a small black hound's tooth check...
...Kleins figured that, to prevent seeing double, no silhouette should overlap more than three-eighths of an inch in the final transparency. To achieve this result, the distance a tube is moved must vary with the thickness of the object being Xrayed. Instead of mounting their transparencies side by side, as in a stereoscope, the Kleins stuck them on opposite sides of a sheet of transparent polaroid...

The method of calculating a bullet's depth is to measure the overlap of its silhouette, and compare that with the overlap of some body landmark, preferably a bone. The basic principle of this depth-determination technique is as old as geometry. But the Kleins hope that Army & Navy surgeons can use their stereoscopic Xray...
First-aiders removed temporary dressings applied on shipboard, wound on permanent ones. Only occasionally did they overlap, bandage a seaman a third time. Canteen workers sent up coffee and sandwiches. (Before they were through, canteeners served 500 meals, 1,000 cups of coffee, 250 sandwiches.)
