The “new” portable radiological equipment, described as follows in the “Archives d’électricité.médicale”:
The equipment is made up of three boxes:
The first one, a weight of 29,5 kg, contains a 23 cm spark coil with atomic contact breaker, a spintermeter, an ammeter and a-periodic voltmeter, a current inverter, a switch, and fuses.
The second box, a weight of 20kg, contains: a 24 x 30 cm fluorescent screen in foldable darkroom, a tube stand, a 30 x 40 radiography frame, a series of double envelopes, a gas blowtorch with rubber pipe, a spirit lamp, a chromoradiometer of Benoist, a Chabaud type tube with osmotic regulation and a classical tube, two well isolated wires.
The third box of weight 19kg, contains six batteries of 20 Amp-hours, capable of making the coil working for 4 consecutive hours.
Thanks to the low weight, the high power and the relative compactness, this equipment deserve to be quoted among the improvements of this type of apparatus.
