The spintermeter may be attached tothe coil, or more conveniently mounted on aseparate base, and placed at some distancefrom the coil. The Bauer Qualimeter is an instrumentfor determining the degree of hardness of theX-ray tube. It is useful, but not always to berelied upon. This instrument is connected by a wire tothe negative terminal of the coil or the cathodeof the tube. It is a static electrometer andcondenser which indicates automatically thepotential of the cathod

If desired, the water can be circulated through the tube by means of the 3 34 RADIOGRAPHY syphon mentioned above. This is very efficacious, but necessary only whenvery lengthy runs are being undertaken. There is another type of tube made by several makers which is veryefficient and convenient for treatment. This tube has a diameter of about5 inches (125 mm.). As will be seen from Fig. 215, p. 295, an auxiliary bulb(having a diameter of about Qh
