In different languages and different alphabets the aforesaid invention could be added accordingly to their own language and alphabet.
Such an addition would help the doctor to look at the X-Ray plate from the correct side.
This invention could preferably be added to the X-Ray plate in the process of manufacturing in any desirable and practicable way.
In the attached drawing marked "Drawing 1 " the letter "R" has been added to the top right hand corner of the X-Ray plate.
