(9) Relative Frequency Response. — For this check a standard theatre reproducing channel having an optical system with a iy4mil slit image was adjusted for maximum focus using a 9000-cycle loop. No low-pass filter was used since this might have had the effect of masking relative output at the higher frequencies. Frequency runs were then made using a calibrated test film which included 31 different frequencies between 30 and 9000 cycles. Response measurements revealed no differnce in relative frequency response when the 1P37 tubes was substituted for the 868. Reports from the field are awaited in order to better judge the seriousness of the increased hum, and greater variation in signal level with changes in exciter lamp voltage obtained with the 1P37 tube. No attempt will be made at this time to evaluate the seriousness of these 2 points. It is felt, however, that the increased hum might be satisfactorily compensated by modification of the 120-cycle hum filter in those installations which operate with raw a-c on the exciter lamp instead of direct current. For those installations which operate with d-c exciter lamps and which have some form of regulation of the exciter lamp voltage, it does not appear that the latter point would become a problem. In the meantime, however, the tubes that have been substituted are working very well, indicating that no differences in operating characteristics have been observed, or else are not of sufficient magnitude to justify an immediate report.
