Fig. 13. VII. POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS OF THE OIL-IMMERSED TYPE OF OUTFIT. For radiographic work it seems thor-oughly feasible to use such an outfit as thatshown in Fig. i. Higher power outfits ofthis same type should be equally satisfac-tory. One for 50 milliamperes and 60000volts has been built. It is simply a largeredition of the one shown in Fig. i andweighs 75 pounds. In the field of radio-graphy it is, perhaps, more especially in con-nection with high power work that theelimination of the high-tension risk will bemost appreciated. The application of such an outfit to gen- well as doing away with the fire hazard at-tendant upon the use of high tension electri-city in the presence of ether vapor. It canfurthermore be used under the surgeonsoperating table without the need of any pre-cautions to keep blood and water off of it. In therapy the oil-immersed type of out-fit seems to offer special advantages. Asidefrom the general advantages, which wil
