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

) 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

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
