Advantages of the Static Machine.—The static machine requires littleattention and is nearly always ready to generate electrical energy, of ahigh potential. The current is almost perfectly continuous through thetube, and hence the illumination of the fluoroscope is steady. The radi-ation and the penetration of the rays of the tube may be modified byvarying the i:iterval of the si^ark-gaj) (in series). The static currentmay also be used as a therapeutic agent.

Iemploy both the static machine and the coil, the static for electro-thera-peutic purposes, and the coil for X-ray work. I have stated the meritsand demerits of the static machine ; the converse of these assertions holds
