The dividingcross-bars are so constructed as to permit of their being shifted into anyposition and their exact location noted by reading the metric scales atthe sides. Accessory frames are placed at the outside of the ui^rights;one of these acting as a plate-receiver for a skiagram, another supportsthe fluoroscopic screen for a visual examination.
