The T-shaped piece of the localiser (see Fig. 130) is adjusted tocorrespond to the distance between the anti-cathode of the tube and theX-ray plate; for convenience in general work a distance of 50 centimetresis chosen and a predetermined displacement of the tube used. This isthe method adopted by Hampson and others for the rapid localisation ofa foreign body. The cross threads are arranged on needle points and the followingmeasurements made : A corresponding point on the two shadows is selected,the needle points are placed on these so that the threads cross in space(the thread
