Pagina 491 - The radium solution from which the emanation was pumped is ever giving a fresh supply ; the curve showing the rate of growth is the complement of the one just discussed. We can say, therefore, that after 3-8 days half the maximum supply is available ; it is evidently more economical to pump the gas off every four days, provided that will give sufficient for our purpose, than to wait a month till the maximum is reached. In practice, only about 75 to 80 per cent of the emanation may be obtained from...

Pagina 409 - Bauer's Qualimeter. — The instrument is suspended from the wall of the protective house or protective screen, and indicates the hardness of the focus tube on a scale. It does not depend, as in other scales, on the comparison of different tints. This instrument is connected by a wire to the negative terminal of the coil or the cathode of the tube. It is a static electrometer and condenser which indicates automatically the potential of the cathode, and hence the quality of the X-rays. The apparatus...
