Nikola Tesla U.S. Patent 725,605 - System of Signaling Patent Wrapper Page 48

662 to Wilson is believed to be for a purely theoretical and inpracticable plan at best, but in any event it differs essentially from the Tesla plan in that the circuits of the receiver are both alike, and whether they be tuned or not is immaterial, since if tuned at all they would both be tuned to respond to the same impulses. From what has been explained in connection with the present case, it is now helieved that the radically novel conception on Tesla's part of using a plurality of tuned circuits in the receiver will be recognized by the Examiner as a departure in the art which is entitled to protection. in the broadest, terns. We now notice for the first time that our use of the word "phase" was misleading. What we intended to convey by the word was the time of discharge in the primary circuit, and did not have reference to the wave form of the oscillations produced in the secondary. We think that the amendment in this respect makes the matter clear. We ask now for a reconsideration of the application, and hope that the claims as drawn will be allowed. ки. Раздестни антролла. -14T
