We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

CHAPTER XXIV THE A C TRANSMISSION LINE (1) When a. c. is transmitted over a pair of wires, one of the most important requirements of the circuit is that the impedance (see Page 468) of the apparatus from which the current comes shall match the impedance of the apparatus to which the current is led. (See CO/L COIL A Figure 106 3 Impedance Match Figure 106 represents a very simple a. c. transmission line, in which we assume that the source of the current is coil A. Coil A may be, and in sound equipment usually is, the secondary winding of a transformer. Coil B may be the speech winding of a loud speaker or the primary winding of an input transformer or other apparatus. In any case, the impedances of A and B should be identical. There are a very few exceptions, none of which need concern the projectionist. (2) We can most easily understand the necessity for impedance match between A and B by assigning numerical values to their action. Let us assume that A has an impedance of 1000 ohms and that it is the secondary of a transformer developing 100 volts. Now assume that the impedance of B also is 1000 ohms. Let us calculate the amount of power transferred from A to B. The total voltage of this circuit is 100, of which 50 470
