Extract

Radiologists have often had cause to note certain apparent anomalies in the behaviour of their apparatus. It is quite well known that different X-ray tubes, excited by different kinds of high tension apparatus, yield X-radiation of markedly varying quality and quantity even under conditions which, as measured by spark gap and milliammeter (the usual measuring instruments of the radiologist), are apparently identical. These anomalies seemed to offer an interesting field for investigation, and one which might not be without value on the practical side.
