the Marconi and Telefunken methods; therefore, the degree of association between the
discharge circuit and radiator circuit must be greater if equal efficiency is to be attained.
Essentially, therefore, the condenser discharge circuit is a reservoir from winch the radiator
draws energy to make good radiating losses in the Marconi and Telefunken systems, while in
the Balsillie system the condenser discharge circuit is an impact source, from which the
radiator recieves a certain quantum of energy that is afterwards rayed out in the form of
etheric oscillations. "Tuning" in the Balsillie is resorted to only in order to insure the condenser
discharge circuit delivering energy at the rate at which the radiator will most efficiently absorb
it. Once this is established, no further action or reaction takes place between the radiator and
the condenser discharge circuits.
