When Germany attacked France in 1914, Marie Curie realized she needed to help soldiers injured and she needed a way to do just that. She convinced manufacturers to turn their cars into vans so she could carry X-Ray equipment on them. She named these vans the "petite Curies" and made 20 to drive into the fronts. Many hospitals didn't know even have X-Ray departments at the time so this was an amazing accomplishment. Marie Curie, her daughter, and a doctor drove around treating the French soldiers in the vans. The vans were filled with technology and books of anatomy.
The machines could find bullets in soldiers undetectable by eye. Doctors then knew where to heal and conduct surgery. These machines revolutionized modern X-Rays and medical technology. Even today in American hospitals we use mobile X-Rays. These X-Rays aren't driven by cars but are easily excesible by surgeons.
