This machine was the first linear accelerator designed for medical use and the first to be installed in a hospital. The first patient was treated in 1953 and the last in 1969. During this period the machine was used for research during the evenings and latterly it was available for research all day long. It was switched off for the last time in February 1984. In addition to the X-ray beam, electrons were used for treatment and for research, where the high dose rate and large field size were particularly useful. An account is given of some of the highlights of the clinical and research programmes.
这台机器是第一台专为医疗用途设计的直线加速器，也是第一台安装在医院的直线加速器。1953年治疗了第一位患者，1969年治疗了最后一位患者。在此期间，这台机器在晚上用于研究，后来全天都可用于研究。它于1984年2月最后一次关闭。除了X射线束外，电子也用于治疗和研究，其高剂量率和大射野尺寸特别有用。文中介绍了临床和研究项目的一些亮点。
