On the other hand the in- LONG-DISTANCE LINES— PUPIN SYSTEM 407 ductance line has a smaller attenuation besides approximatingto the distortionless conditions. As a good volume is asessential as clearness it is clear that the inductance loadingis the better solution of the problem. Sine Wave.—In order to understand Pupins theory it isnecessary to understand what is meant by a sine Fig. 402 the wave form a a a represents such a sine wave,such as may be generated by the steady revolution of thearmature of a magneto-generator such as shown at Fig. circles on the left represent the angular motion of thearmature to produce the wave, and the dotted lines show how. Fig. 402.—Sine Wave Diagram the wave curve is plotted from the angles. Distances measuredto the right represent the time taken in making the telephonic speaking waves are of a very compli-cated nature, it has been found that they are all compoundedof a number of such simple sine waves of various frequencies. The smaller waves ceo and d d d show the nature ofadditional waves which are added, and modify the shapeof the original wave when capacity and inductance are presentin a circuit. It will be noticed that the capacity wave c c c is at itsgreatest positive value at the same time that the inductancewave is at its greatest negative value, and it is easy to see thatif both effects acted equally in the same circuit the two would 4o8 PRACTICAL TELEPHONE HANDBOOK neutralise each other, and the original wave would travel onunaffected. It will also be seen that any point of the capacity-wave c c c
