An increase of current again takes place as C-2 is approached fol-lowed by a decrease when the point of resonance is passed. If the wave-length of the wave-meter and the corresponding deflection of the hot wire wattmeter be observed over a seriesof wave-lengths, the data thus obtained may be plotted in the form of a resonance curve inthe following manner. (See Fig. 218). Placing in one column the wave-lengths corresponding to the condenser scale of the wave-meter, and in the second column the corresponding deflection of the hot wire wattmeter,. 6oa 700 WAVE LENGTHFig. 218—Resonance Curve of the Antenna Oscillations. 198 PRACTICAL WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY. co-ordinate points are laid off on cross-section paper through which a common line or curveis drawn.
