Abstract
Development of X-ray equipment from the early gas tube used 50 years ago by William Conrad Roentgen to the present-day induction electron accelerator is traced. Topics discussed include the various types of tubes involved in X-ray history, the limitations of each, and the attainment of an invaluable industrial and scientific tool.
