A, cross section of wrist; B, back board of arm support; C, cabinet maker's clamp; D, clamp fastening L rod to the horizontal rod of arm rest; E, clamp fastening tube of tambour to short arm of L rod; F, tambour with disk, and prop to rest on artery. ject seats himself comfortably in chair, holding one end of arm rest in lap, while other end is placed on table or stool so as to tilt it at a suitable angle for the arm to rest eas- ily. Place arm on rest with marked point toward tam- bour ; fasten thumb with loop of cloth, using holes in back board : apply button of tambour to marked spot, and adjust tambour so that rod bearing button is in line with tube of tambour and perpendicular to surface of wrist. Vary the ])ressure on artery by sliding tube of tambour in clamp until largest pulsation is given. An excursion of 3-5 mm. with each heart beat should be secured, but a smaller move- ment will suffice where this cannot be obtained. The arm must be relaxed and perfectly quiet. Record the radial pulse on a drum and observe whether the same waves appear as in the carotid pulse. b. Postponement of the Radial Pulse. Arrange to write carotid and radial pulse and fork curve in same vertical line. Make sure that the levers of the tambours are horizontal. Mark relative position of points, then record the three curves with fastest speed given
