Abstract
THERE ARE TWO ASPECTS to the development of communications systems (as there are to the development of many other systems). The first is the invention of the fundamental equipment. The second aspect is the analytical study of the use to be made of this equipment, namely, of the transmission medium in which the equipments are to work, and the engineering of the component parts to give an optimum result.
