✦ Synopsis

understand how a current, modified by the action of the human voice on a Reiss transmitter, would produce in a magnetic diaphragm such undulations in its magnetic field as would result in the movements necessary to reproduce the articulate speech thrown on the transmitter.

Such a view, it will be seen, takes the assumed necessity for the undulatory character, in the somewhat narrow sense in which it is generally c~)nstrued, from the electric current transmitted, and places it in the transmitting and receiving diaphragms, so that the movements of the receiving diaphragm would still be an exact reproductiofi of those of the transmitting diaphragm.

When describing the inventions of Reiss, we will discuss at greater length the peculiarities of the electrical currents transmitted in telephony.
