It agrees withinexperimental error with the Theoretical Curve. The slight verticaldisplacement of the experimental curve at the higher frequencies isattributed to deviations in the impedance of the pencil lead, which was.

To increase the power carrying capacity of the exponential line, onewas built with larger wire size at the lower impedance end. Thisincreased the breakdown voltage by increasing the spacing and con-ductor diameter and at the same time increased the current carryingcapacity by decreasing the resistance and increasing the heat dissipat- 570 BELL SYSTEM TECHNICAL JOURNAL ing capacity of the conductors. This was a 600 : 300 ohm Hne con-structed of 20 meters No. 6 wire, 10 meters 1/4 tubing and 20 meters3/8 tubing. Here again the correct termination was determined bymeasurements on a 300 ohm uniform Hne of 3/8 tubing. The totallength of terminating loop that gave the best termination was 63/^in this case compared with 103/^ for the 300 ohm line of No. 6 no attempt was made to reduce the variations in input impedanceto less than ± 1
