LXXI.On potential dividers for cathode ray oscillographs

Summary In Gábor's oscillographic method a known fraction of the voltage to be measured has to be transmitted over a long line and reproduced without distortion, the division of voltage being effected by condensers or condensers and resistances. If the low voltage impedance of the system is divided between the two ends of the line, the condensers may be made from six to eight times smaller than when it is concentrated at one end only. The field of application of the method is thus greatly extended.
