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.

THEORY AND WIRING OF AMPLIFIERS 539 circuit. The strength of the current depends on the number of emitted negatrons that reach the anode, and hence upon the voltage across the tube and upon the strength of the emission. Next, consider the grid circuit. It has two wires, like any other. One wire goes to the cathode, one to the grid. Cathode and grid are a small condenser; that is, two conductors separated by the insulation of the vacuum. The grid is kept always negative with respect to the cathode (how this is done is explained on Page 552), hence, negatrons cannot contact the grid and shortcircuit the grid-cathode capacitance. The grid circuit consists of two wires, its "load" is a tiny condenser ; its source of power is the only unusual /i.e. GENERATOR BATTERY CONDENSER Fig. 127. — The electrical equivalent of a grid circuit. thing about it. There are two sources of power, connected in series. One is the source of sound current to be amplified. This may be the secondary of a transformer, as in Figure 128. The other is plain d. c, wired negative to grid and positive to cathode, and called the grid (or "C") bias; it keeps the condenser always charged with cathode positive and grid negative, while the sound source in series varies the strength of that charge as its own strength and frequency change. The essential electrical characteristics are diagrammed in Figure 127. These two circuits, grid circuit and plate circuit, are
