Plate 83.—Remy Localizer. This plate illustrates another adaptation of the device andshows its position for the head. The study of these plates and description in the text will domnch to make clear the identity and essential simplicity of all systems of localization. Buttwo thing.s are required: First, the vertical axis of the rays; second, the depth below thesurface at which two converging axes in the vertical plane intersect. The foreign body isright there. The plates illustrating this Localizer are used by permission of Messrs. Rebman,Ltd., of London, and are from the Archives of the Roentgen Ray.

Plate S4.—The Combined X-Ray Tube Holder, Localizer, and Stereoscopic PictureProducer, designed by Dr. Hall Edwards, is one of the most convenient tube holders, and iscapable of holding the tube and conductors from the coil over any portion of the body on abed or couch. In addition, by a few simple movements and a simple calculation, the position,distance from the surface, the size of a foreign body, can be ascertained. With it is also sentout a special plate holder, which enables the operator to produce stereoscopic pictures withease and accuracy. This Localizer is both convenient and simple.
