A reading is made of the line or lines, which passthrough the body, and this is transferred to the correspondinglines of the C or D scale of the chart, to the right or leftside, depending on which eye is under examination; Withoutremoving the plate the E reading is similarly made and trans-ferred to the chart. To take the A or B reading the plateis shifted slightly until the image of the indicating ball on thesecond exposure coincides with the Right or Left ball ofthe vertical coordinates A or B. The line or lines of theA or B coordinates which cross the shadow of the body arenoted and indicated on the A or B lines of the chart.

After the three readings have been transferred to the chart,the point of crossing of the A or B and the C or Dlines is ifound, which gives the location of the foreign body inreference to the front view of the eyeball, indicating its situationabove or below the center of the cornea and to the nasal ortemporal side of the vertical plane. Where a vertical line fromthis point crosses the E reading on the horizontal section ofthe globe it gives the depth of the body in the eyeball or orbit.In bodies of large size both ends should be localized to give theposition in which the ibody rests in the globe. The situation ofthe body on the side view is determined by transferring itsmeasured depth from the horizont
