Abstract
M. PILON has written an interesting and timely brochure upon the Coolidge X-ray tube. He first enters into a description of the three types of these tubes which are available at the present time, namely, the standard tube, the first model of the inventor and the one ordinarily used; Modéle A, in which attention is especially directed towards the production of a very fine focus on the anti-cathode; and, lastly, the radiator type of tube, which was designed to meet the special requirements of the American Army Medical Service; this tube is a beautiful example of the inventive genius of Dr. Coolidge, the diameter of the tube being reduced to as little as 8 cm.
