I read with interest that X-rays were known in the US end of December 1895. This information is not realistic. Discovery of X-rays was made public in Vienna, Austria on January 5, 1896, published in London the next day and published in New-York for the first time on January 7,1896. Neither TA EDISON nor MI PUPIN could be aware of the discovery on an earlier date. Pupin made his first X-ray shortly after February 8, 1896. The famous radiograph of the hand of Prescott Hall Butler was obtained at that time.
