However, for the larger values of RC/P (weak im-pressions), the distortion at the beginning of the wave is quite is because the impressions are formed so slowly that a longer timeis required to drive the gain down to the desired value. In order to compare impression compression with instantaneouscompression, the ordinates of Fig. 5 and 8 were plotted in Fig. shows that the greatest possibilities of bunching the waves intoa narrow range result from the use of instantaneous compression (b),since the ratio between any value and the maximum is modified by the 532 BELL SYSTEM TECHNICAL JOURNAL. > N JJl cn c -o X c c 0) So t- -C-Q - (U r, ■O CO fCi (LI lO aJ C (H bo >> J= Jh (Tt c 3 > C X5 O tn tn aj O. tu n3 OJ <u <u !-• !-• -4-) bo rt ti o o <u ■ Uh ti bo ^^ U^ AMPLITUDE RANGE CONTROL 533
