14 Ri GisTERiNG The Lateral Movements OF the Condyles 1 he Lateral CoFidylc l\ath Register is now placed about the head with the ground side of the glasses downward and in contact with the pencils. The Register is held at about the same downward and forward slope that the condyle path usually has. The glasses are pushed rirmly inward against the side of the face, and the ends of the fingers are placed against the sides of the head as in illustra- tion No. I 2. 111. No. 12. Dr. Gysi with the Lateral Path Reg-ister held about his head. The vertical pencils ha\'e traced paths on the ground glass. The paths have been strengthened that they may be more easily seen. By this means the Register is held immovable while the man- dible moves. The patient is instructed to move the mandible to one side and then the other without separating the trial plates. This will be made easier if a little vaseline has been rubbed on the oc- clusal surfaces of the Horseshoe Plate.
