compared with the RR standard
of about .20 mf, although their
voltages are mostly 6, with running
currents very little more than the
RR. This may account for their
success with Tungsten contacts.
To arrive at the best capacity
for our purposes, a capacity
curve is needed. This
could be obtained by making up a
series of six condensers, with capacities
of .01, .02, .04, .08, .16, .32 mf. resp.
With these, any capacity could be
obtained up to .63 mf in steps of
.01 mf. The maximum of .30 suggested
in a previous note, not being sufficient
