Like the carborundum detector, the Fleming valve has a rising char-acteristic and when an E. M. F. is applied to the space between the plate and the fila-ment the current may be adjusted to the critical point on the characteristic curve so thatthe addition of a slight antenna voltage causes a large increase of the local battery currentflowing through the head telephones. A satisfactory diagram appears in Fig. 162 wherein a potentiometer P-1 isshunted across the filament battery and a portion of the current flo
