Shoe-fitting fluoroscope
The shoe-fitting fluoroscope, also sold under the names X-ray Shoe Fitter, Pedoscope and Foot-o-scope, was an X-ray fluoroscope machine installed in shoe stores from the 1920s until about the 1970s. The device was a metal construction covered in finished wood, approximately 4 feet (1.2 m) tall in the shape of short column, with a ledge with an opening through which the standing customer (adult or child) would put their feet and look through a viewing porthole at the top of the fluoroscope down at the X-ray view of the feet and shoes.
