Of the increase in capacity, 50 that
for a definite increase in wave length
the capacity Of the circuit must be
increased to q considerable extent in
conformity with the square law.
This difficulty led to the design of
condenser with specially curved
plates that made it possible to space
stations more evenly on the dials ac-
cording to wave lengths This new
design Of condenser spaced the sta
tions so that a difference of a Ger
tain number of meters between two
stations produced a certain set diff

located on the lower end or higher
end Of the wave length scale; in other
word, if the scale dial reading varied
from zero to 100 degrees, each varia-
ton of a single degree in the scale
reading produced a wave-length vari-
alton Of 4 meters or l-l0Oth of the
400 meters between the minimum
and maximum.
While this produced a scale from
which wave lengths could be read
directly, this type still contained TO
some extent the objectionable feature
of crowding the stations at the lower
end Of the dial.
The latest development in CON
densers designed 10 give more even

straightline frequency condenser. One

The straightline capacity condenser
filled the need as satisfactorily as
was desired and since that type of
condenser was both easy to design
and easy to assemble, it proved a
very popular item No other require
ments were necessary for some time
so that that type of condenser with
semi circular plates remained popular
for long time. With the increasing
number of broadcasting stations
sending on wave lengths of only
few meters apart, it began to be
noticed that the stations on the
lower wave lengths were crowded
along the lower scale readings of the
dial while those on the higher wave
lengths were scattered over a much
wider separation along the higher
scale reading of the dial. This made
1t comparatively easy to tune in and
separate high wavelength stations,
but exceedingly difficult to separate
the stations on the lower wave
lengths.
The reason for this is due to the
fact that the wave length of a cir
cult does not increase in direct pro-

plates is much different from those
of the straightline capacity and
straightline wave length which have
been available thus far.
In the straightline capacity con
densers the low wave-Iength stations
We're crowded very closely together
at the lower dial readings, while the
higher avelength stations had
plenty of room between them on the
higher readings. In the Straightline
wave length condensers this conges-
ton at the lower wave lengths was
reduced to a considerable extent, but
in the straightline frequency the
stations are separated as evenly along
the dial as 1t is possible TO get them,
avoiding excessive crowding at the
lower end of the scale and excess
spacing at the other end of the
scale.
