LARGE CHAMBER FREQUENCY 80
SMALL CHAMBER FREQUENCY 100
C1/C2 = 2/1

y = N / (1 - N² / n₁²) WHERE n = 80

N=200 y=-30
N=160 y=-55
N=140 y=-70
N=120 y=-95
N=90 y=-300
N=70 y=+300
N=60 y=+140
N=50 y=+80

Graph Data:
Curves: N1=80, N1=100, N1=120, N2=100, N2=130
Note: N1=120 (10" CHAMBER VOL. 220 CU INS C=35)
Axes: Y-axis (y/100), X-axis (N)
