The magnetic field strength of each of the bending magnets is increased as the particles gain energy in order to keep the bending angle constant.

The root of the word declination (Latin, declinatio) means "a bending away" or "a bending down".

The term 'fast action' is used for rods where only the tip is bending, and 'slow action' for rods bending from tip to butt.
