Thegrid was kept at a potential of plus 10 volts. Inthis manner the grid potential is varied by thechange in potential at the terminals of the second-ary of the induction coil, which is due to thechange in priffiary current resulting from the actionof the 27 The plate circuit consists of a 2mf condenser Co andthe primary of a telephone induction coil L^. Ihesecondary, i^., of this coil is in the line as what has been said, it is evident that speechcurrents in circuit T,L];, Bj are repeated in an amp-lified condition in the line. ^he receiving end of the line contains the pri-mary of an induction coil L3 and a 2mf condenser,which, added to the line condensance balances roug-h-ly the line, he grid circuit of the VT-I tube iscoupled to the line thru the secondary of the induc-tion coil L^ and is balanced by condenser Cj. ^hereceiver plate circuit contains only a receiver inaddition to the 30 volt battery supplying potentialto the plate. The tubes were operated with normal operatingvalues and under the conditions outlined above. Or-dinary speech was amplified to such an extent thatthe words could be heard and understood at a dis-tance of three feet from the telephone
