Is that they be made OF sonfe good
conducting material that remains
rigid In ordinary use so that the prop
err spacing between plates may be
maintained. Brass and aluminium
are the materials most generally used.
Aluminium plates adapt themselves
very nicely to- condenser manufac-
ture because they are easy to work
with and IT IL comparatively easy TO
blank out perfectly nat plates. In
using aluminium, however, the con-
tact between plates can only be OBJ
tanned by pressure OF one plate on
another through the medium Of sep.
arating washers.
Brass Better Than Aluminium.
Where brass Is used. it 10 possible
to construct the plates so that they
may BE- soldered together, thus assur-
ing q perfect electrical connection
between the plates. The greater
spring OF brass plates also make them
less liable TO being bent of align
ment by comparatively slight knocks.

design OF variable condensers for
use IN tuning circuits is the matter
OF the selection Of the dielectric.
