Text Appearing Before Image:
at thisis a more powerful and efficient means of exciting X-raytubes than any other. Professor Trowbridges methodof working the tube directly from a battery of 15,000accumulators through a large resistance is the idealmethod. An electrical machine can be used instead of a coil toproduce the electrical discharges. Of these, the Wims-hurst is perhaps the best. It will be found better notto connect the terminals of the vacuum tube directly tothe prime conductors of the machine, but to allow a smallspark gap to intervene on either side. The size of thesegaps must be varied until the best effects are produced ;if a continuous discharge be desired, the Leyden jars ofthe machine should be disconnected. If this be not done, 21 322 A Manual of Practical Medical Electricity powerful discharges at intervals will be yielded ; theseare very tiring to the eye in fluorescent screen work. Thestatic machine current, being very small, does not heatand so alter the resistance of the tube so much ; it is

Adisadvantage of the electrical machine is that, unless amotor be employed, an assistant is required to rotate it ;its working is also affected by the weather, its behaviourbeing capricious in this respect, so that, on the whole, it RoNTGEN X Rays 323 is not nearly so efficient or convenient an instrument forproducing the X radiation as a good induction coil. The vacuum tube should be a focus one ; this is a bulbof glass, into either end of which platinum wires are sealed.To the extremity of one of the wires, the anode, a smallflat piece of platinum is attached, inclined at an angle of45° ; to the extremit^^ of the other, the kathode, a concavedisc of aluminium is fastened, at such a distance fromthe anode that the kathode rays are focussed upon it.Platinum wires are chosen to pass through the glass,because platinum and glass have nearly the same co-efficient of expansion under al
