New Use for X-ray

NEW use for the X-ray has been recently developed by a German scientist. It makes possible the use of these rays in photographing radio receiving sets, parts and other electrical equipment; thus bringing out constructional details of such appara- : tus which would be nearly impossible," to illustrate by line drawings or diagrams. At least one German publication has made arrangements to illustrate "et a series, of constructional articles . with X-ray photography of the seis and parts in place of the usual blue ° print and diagrams. An important feature of this method of illustration is that it is a comparatively simple matter to re- — touch such photographs to bring out © important features of the set or apparatus and soften or omit others.
