It is obvious that thisimposes the requirement of a high degree of stability on eachof the vacuum tubes contributing to the total repeater ampli-fication. Similar considerations apply with regard to the necessity ofnot permitting the tubes to distort the transmitted voice ap-preciably. Vacuum tubes not very far short of perfection areevidently needed if as many as a hundred tubes are to haveopportunity to affect the voice currents in succession along acircuit without finally distorting the voice so as to make it 248.
