Great precautionary meas ures must he taken at all times when working with the high potential elec tricity upon which the machines op erate. It would take $30,000 to duplicate . the intricate apparatus—some of which is u gift to the School, some of which was bought, and some of which was constructed in the laboratories. Transition temperatures in alloys, structure of solutions, and the struc ture of the iron atom are some a the things studies by means of the X-ray machinery.
