Three sizes of these coiljsare shown in Figs. lx. 1! and 20. Interrupterless Transformer The interrupterless transformer is the newest and by all means the mosl >owerful x-ray machine X-RAY MACHINES 59 made. Aside from controlling and measuring ap-paratus, it consists of three principal parts, a ro-tary converter, if direct current is the source ofsupply, or a synchronous motor if the alternatingcurrent is the source of supply, a step-up trans-former, and a rectifying MOTOR
