Abstract
Apparatus for placing identifying indicia on x-ray film within a cassette, in which an electroluminescent panel is provided with a resiliently biased slide element movably mounted on a cassette supporting member. A printing unit applies time and data information to an indicia bearing card and simultaneously activates a control circuit for a predetermined time interval to condition the circuit for the energization of the panel only during this interval. The thus imprinted card is then placed on the panel, and as the cassette is positioned on the supporting member a portion of the panel protrudes into a slot-shaped opening in one edge of the cassette. When the cassette reaches its proper position on the support member, the control circuit is effective to illuminate the panel and thereby expose the film with the information on the card.
