Summary

Photograph featuring a large roll of x-ray film on the unwind end of the emulsion coating machine in Building 3, Emulsion Coating, at the Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd factory, Coburg, circa 1960s.

In the foreground of the photograph, under the roll of film, is the bottom of a 'tiffin' ready to hold the coated film. A tiffin, aka a tin coffin, was a light proof storage box used widely by Kodak around the world for their light sensitive film products. Here the tin bogie or base of the tiffin is seen, which would then have a round cover attached to it to transport film and paper products safely. (See MM 141396 and MM 144945 for a loaded tiffin being moved.)

Slide 151 from the 'Extra Prints of Coburg Lecture' album, featuring a large roll of x-ray film on the unwind end of the emulsion coating machine in the Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd factory, Coburg.
