Hence it appeared probable that a service would be rendered by an endeavour to present an account of the present condition of electric wave telegraphy in a manner acceptable to those unversed in the advanced technicalities of the subject, but acquainted at least with the elements of electrical science. keywords: aerial; air; arrangement; balls; break; capacity; circuit; coil; condenser; current; distance; earth; electric; end; energy; force; hertzian; inductance; induction; length; marconi; oscillations; place; potential; receiving; spark; strain; telegraphy; time; transformer; tube; vol; wave; wire cache: 38526.txt plain text: 38526.txt item: #25 of 43 id: 39 author: Krol, Ed title: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Internet date: None words: 7555 flesch: 65 summary: Class C addresses have three octets of network address and one of host.
