The vertcal movement, i. e., the movement to and from thetable is obtained by turning the pilot wheel placed at the right hand ofof the operator and on his side of the operating table. It becomes self-evident that this apparatus not only insures adequate protection to theoperator but permits him to accomplish his work from his side of thetable without having to reach over or beyond his patient, and with thegreatest accuracy, speed and PLATE I. PLATE II. THE ACTHOK S X-RAY LAFORATORV. Showing the Authors sliding Universal X-ray frame in position forfluoroscopic work, or radiography or radiotheraphy, with the patient inthe sitting posture, .-^s the fluroescent screen and plate holders are inter-changeable, either can be used without disturbing the patient or theremainder of the apparatus. The opening in the front of the tube is fitted with an X-ray proof iris diaphrani, and on the outside of tli:sopening is a channel holder which receives various attachments used forspecial work, such as orthodiagraphic tracings, localization, etc. Thescreen and the plate holder are attached to the carriage which supportsthe tube holding box. and it follows that every movement imparted tothem causes a similar movement of the tube, and vice versa. Theoperating table is shown op«n, with a subject seated upon a stool readyto be tluoroscoped. This stool
