EDWARDS: How does the scanning slit loss affect the result? MR. BAKER: The scanning slit loss reduces the output at the higher frequencies, the loss depending upon the width of the slit. Of course, the amplifier attenuates some of the higher frequencies, too. For a 1-mil slit, say, the slit loss at 9000 cps. is 4 decibels compared with the 1000-cycle output. The loss increases at the higher frequencies. MR. NICHOLSON: The family of curves you showed gave the optimal conditions, but laboratories are generally interested in limits. How do you pick limits from the curves? What determines the point beyond which you may not go?
