Abstract
THE Coolidge X-ray tube has been on its trial in this country during the last two years, and it may be said wish some confidence that it has gone a very long way towards justifying the claims which have been made concerning it. Whether the tube be judged from the laboratory or from the clinical point of view, it marks a new era in the history of the X-ray tube. There is now to the hand of the experimenter or of the radiologist a source which provides him with a beam of X-rays which can be varied in the course of a few seconds, as regards both quality and output, over a very wide range; such radiation, more-over, may be repeated with certainty.
