Economy with

PJ-Series

We told our engineers "Give us
on economical series of podi-
atry choirs and tables, but don't
sacrifice comfort, efficiency or
durability."
They gave us the PJ-Series -
three choirs and tables that
differ from our higher priced J-
Series in only one respect: in-
stead of full-power medical lift
bases, the PJ-Series offers rug -
ged steel fixed pedestal bases.
Virtually everything else is the
some,including the heavy-duty
steel frame: the tastefully uphol-
stered removable cushions: the
top grade, fire-retardant Nau-
gahyde <-}; and the versatile,
easy patient positioning with
either the standard tri-power or
dual foot controls, or optional
hand-operated switches.
And if you should ever wont to
odd a full -power medical base,
we've wired and engineered
the upper structure to allow you
to do so without any modi-
fication
