JUDJEL JLLLL00DULCIULI LI To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, Nikola Tesla, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York City, in the County and State of New York, have invented a

462 2 plishing a variety of useful results. One of these ways consists in producing, by a suitable apparatus, rays or radiations, that is, disturbances, which are propagated in straight lines through

) T T plishing results of this nature which may be briefly described as follows: In one system the potential of a point or region of the earth is varied by imparting to it intermittent or alternating

464 3 tical advantages are in this respect secured. Furthermore, since in most cases the amount of energy conveyed to the distant circuit is but a minute fraction of the total energy emanating from

amount is consequently dependent on the energy conveyed to the receiver by one single impulse, it is evidently necessary to employ either a very large and costly, and, therefore, objectionable

466 Sub a 4 instance, obtained from the energy of the disturbances or effects transmitted from a distance, but from an independent source. Expressed generally the present method. consists in using

capable of being modified in its electrical resistance or other property by the action of the disturbance's emitted from the source. To the terminals of the condenser I connect the receiver which is

[ short and long signals, the apparatus may readily be made to record, or to enable an operator to read the message, since the receiver, supposing it to be an ordinary magnetic relay for example, will
