WIRELESS TELEGRAPH TRANSMITTER            

A transmitting system in which tuned primary
and charging circuits energise an exciting circuit,    
which in turn delivers unidirectional impulses or
kicks to an electrostatically-coupled radiator clr-
cuit.

The exciting circuit is characterised in being pro-
vided with more two condensers, one of     
which is common to the radiator circuit.

The unidirectional impulses are obtained from   
the exciting circuit by the use of an air-blast 
gap working with a pressure of ??-100lb. per   
square inch.

In operation the constants of the exciting circuit   
are so adjusted that it has no distinctive fre-    
quency of its own in order that the radiator may
freely oscillate in its own time period.
