Abstract
THERE may be persons who furnish themselves with an outfit for Röntgen photography without having a knowledge of either electricity or photography. For such individuals, possessing aspirations without education in physical principles, this book has been written. The history of kathode rays and Röntgen's discovery occupies seven pages of the book. There is a chapter on the manufacture of an accumulator, and another describing how to make an induction coil. The remaining five chapters are taken up with descriptions of the apparatus and methods of Röntgen photography.
