This paper describes the utilization of a simple universal vacuum joint, as the support for a magnetic shield type of deflector in the form of a cylindrical soft iron pipe. Variable insertion of this pipe and change of direction in azimuth permit the extraction, with up to 70% efficiency, of all the microtron orbits, making available, in this case, electrons between 1 and 4 Mev energy, in steps of 0.5 Mev. Radiation intensity, or electron current, from any particular orbit, up to the limit determined by the peak for that orbit, may be set at any desired level by small changes in the insertion of the deflector.
