The eHminationof this sharp rise over rocky ground serves principally to remove anirregularity in the constants of the wave-antenna near the end, sothat the entire antenna may be considered more nearly a smooth makes the antenna function more satisfactorily as a unit of anarray in connection with other antennas constructed nearby.
