Zusammenfassung:The size of an X-ray beam is automatically adjusted in response to signals produced by a pair of continuously variable transducers, such as rotary potentiometers, mounted on a cassette holder. One of the transducers is preferably adjusted by a pivoted arm on the holder adapted to contact the side of a cassette positioned on the holder. The other transducer is preferably adjusted, through suitable gearing, by a cable connected to one of a pair of jaws which center the cassette on the holder. The preferred embodiment also has a switch and means to open the switch when there is no cassette on the holder in order to prevent the X-ray generator from being activated.
