Baldwin Wick (1876-1905) was interested in electricity, physics, and photography.

It was Wick&#8217;s enthusiasm for the Roengten&#8217;s early X-ray work that encouraged Miller to pursue this area of study. Together they made the first shadowgraphs in Cleveland, which were among the first in the country. Miller introduced x-rays to Cleveland&#8217;s medical community shortly thereafter.
