positive potential on the grid and being increased withnegative potential on the grid. In operation the regenerative ampli-fier circuit is adjusted to a condition which would result in oscilla-tion if the low frequency oscillator were not operating. This settinginsures a high value of negative resistance and each time the positiveresistance is decreased below the value of the negative resistance inthe circuit a large current flows resulting in a strong amplificationof the signal. As explained in Chapter I the average resistance ofthe circuit is positive and oscillation will not occur in the amplifiercircuit but the large currents flowing at the time when the negativeresistance is greatest, result in an amplification of great magnitude. As this is probably the circuit which will find the greatest appli-cation in practice, the function of each part will be consideredseparately. Refer to Fig. 2. The values given are for amateur and broad-casting wavelengths. 1, 2 and 3. Amplifier tubes.
