that of the Bosch battery ignition, but as pointed out in
our note already referred to, the capacity of the Bosch
battery ignition per cubic inch is twice as great as we can
get in our mica condensers.

The first actual Goshawk condenser shows the
capacity to be approximately as stated above, namely, .1x2 mf.
We are experimentally making up a condenser with paper
dielectrics to see if we can obtain a greater capacity in a
given space.
