bends in the curve, due to saturation.
Finally, q condition can be reached
where the use of an amplifier tube
will decrease the signal strength be-
cause of the saturation of the tube.
The rectified incoming signals would
be. louder without the use of the ampli-
fer tube, because of the inability OF
the plate current of the tube caused
by saturation to increase in proper
ton to the. signal strength.
There are, in general, two factors
that can be taken from the charac-
teristic curve and the second is the
length of the straight portion Of the
curve. The slope of the straight pOr-
ton of the curve determines the am-
plification Of the tube. The more
nearly vertical the straight portion
of the curve Is, the greater will ba
the change In plate current for q
given change in grid potential, or in
other words, the louder will be the
response In the telephone receivers
corresponding to Il given received
signal. The length of the straight
portion of the curve determines the
maximum variation in grid potential

that the tube would function at q
point represented by "a" on the
characteristic curve. If now the ap-
piled grid potential from the sc" bat
terry be reduced by an amount rep
resented by ALB in Figure % the
corresponding reduction in plate cur
rent will be represented by BE. On
the other hand if the grid potential
be increased by an amount repre-
sented by A-C, where A-C equals BIC,
the corresponding increase in plate
current Is CD.
If the portion of the characteristic
curve in the region of FAD is a
straight line, then CD Will equal b
E, or so long as the working range
falls within straight line portion of
the characteristic curve, symmetrical
changes in grid potential will cause
symmetrical changes in plate current.
From this 1t can be seen that If the
working point "a" be selected near
the bend of the characteristic curve,
symmetrical changes in grid potential
will not cause symmetrical changes in
plate current. Since the plate current
variation in such case would bear only
slight relation to the grid variation In
potential, the output of the tube would
be distorted.
In applying ampliiers to receiving
sets used to pick %radiophone stations,
distortion is n of the greatest diff
iculties to overcome. Too strong
signals will result in decreased I'M
pllication. In Figure %, if the ap-
piled variation in grid potential were

No Christian had ever visited Nee
ca, Arabia, birthplace of Mohammed,
until Sir Richard Burton struggled
himself in as a true believer. If de-
tected, he'd have been killed by the
Mohammedans. Burton had lived
among the Arabs so long and knew
their language so thoroughly that he
posed as one of them, hiring out as
a professional story-teller. Later he
translated into English the only ac-
curate version Of "The 1901 Tales of
the Arabian Nights" The plots Of at
least half the short stories you read

cal variations of grid potential can be
made to produce symmetrical varia-
ton in plate current, which are X
times the amplitude of the plate cir
cult variations of a similar two-elec-
trode value with the same applied
grid potential. This can that IL q

receiver the received signals will ap-
pear to be tx" times as strong as they

VACUUM TUBE WHEN

tube was used as a detector, the cir

that where a symmetrical alternating
difference was applied to the grid,
q symmetrical change in plate current
resulted. That Is to say, the vacuum
tube acted as a rectifier. In addition
to r~ectifying, the tube also ampllfied.
