...light--not too great a change in percentage terms. What does increase dramatically is the energy (and the mass). At the beginning of an experiment, a beam of electrons may have a rest energy of 1/2 million electron volts; it is directed through a linear "pre-accelerator" (or "injector") where the energy is increased to 20 million electron volts. Then, in the accelerator proper, the energy may be raised to the maximum of 6 billion electron volts...
...Sarnoffs first became interested in the problem in 1951. They rejected the semi-automatic injectors then in use as too cumbersome and complicated, but it took them two years and 31 different models to find a more efficient atropine injector, which they dubbed...

Worse still, the sponsor has complained of not selling as many razor blades...
