Description
(Original Caption) 3/1941-IN: New Atom Smasher at Notre Dame University. Eight million volts will be generated by this 20-ton machine which will be used for experimentation in the disintegration of nuclei by high-speed electrons, and in the production of radioactive metals by X-ray. This is a view along the interior of the structure. Charged particles will be driven at enormous speeds down the white porcelain tube. The closely placed aluminum rings around each column prevent sparking from taking place along the supports.
