The image plate is glued to a 0,3 mm sheet metal carrier.
The cassette has a cassette label attached allowing the user to label the
cassette.

The shutter is unlocked by pushing the cassette lock.

The cassette lock is either opened manually via cassette key (part of cassette
delivery) or by the cassette unit when inserting the cassette.
