What actually happens isnot perhaps material to the radiolog-ist so long as the machine operatessuccessfully. There are certain other features ofthis apparatus which it is believedshould be commented on. First: Two air condensors mountedon top of the x-ray machine condensors are built accordingto the specifications adopted by theAmerican Institute of Electrical En-gineers while doing research work onthe sphere gap problem, and as nearlyas can be determined from a study ofthe literature received, tie into theline in such a way as to protect thetransformer against line fluctuationand possible surge, as well as dissi-pate the heat incident to continuousoperation under extremely high volt-age. See the accompanying Page Sixty-five NEW EQUIPMENT It will be noticed that there is asphere gap between >these two aircondensors. The reason for this isgiven to provide a limit gap for themachine, and for the purpose of check-ing one crest measurement againstthe other. In passing, it may be ofinterest to know that this form of pre-cision air condensor was devised byMessrs. Fortescue and Chubb underthe supervision of the American In-stitute to enable them to correctlycalibrate the sphere gap.
