they reckon on aircraft gauges of the period, if unshielded by the glass the radiation output from the dial face is around 30x stronger than that of a sealed unit...... i take it the glass is lead crystal or something ? nothing except a huge block of lead will stop the gamma rays... the alpha and beta are a different matter.
