Abstract
1. 1. The axostat is a relatively simple instrument for rotating vector loops with respect to the "viewing" device. 2. 2. Experiments on an electrical model confirm the correctness of the underlying physical principles of the instrument. 3. 3. Methods are described whereby the axostat may be employed to determine the orientation of mean spatial vectors without the necessity of measuring the areas under electrocardiographic waves and complexes. 4. 4. The exceptional sensitivity of transition-point electrocardiograms to alterative factors, particularly rotatory, gives promise of one type of clinical application. 5. 5. Another form of clinical application may be the exploration in various pathologic conditions of "uncharted" areas in the Burger triangle. © 1954.
