The machine is built vertical with a view of allowing its installation in the operating room, even when space is limited, thus placing the machine directly under the eye of the operator; also, the vertical design permits of a rugged form of construction which tends to reduce vibration and noise to a minimum; also it makes the machine very accessible and easy to assemble and disassemble. The Rexolux is built in three sizes, viz: a machine designed to operate a single projectionarc lamp; a machine to operate two lamps alternately, and one to operate two lamps continuously. Where two lamps are operated continuously only the 70 ampere machine is available. Tihe 50 ampere machine, of either the M, MA, or MMA type (the meaning of these different types will be explained later on), occupies a floor space 17 by 20 inches, and has a vertical height of 34 inches to the top of cap 14, P. 1. The switch Plate 1, Figure 189. board, supported by angle irons, is immediately over the machine, so that the entire space required for the 50 ampere equipment is 17 by 20 inches on the floor, by 5 feet in vertical height. The 35 ampere machine is 3 inches less and the 70
