Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The American Journal of Science, 1904, Vol. 167
When two wires are used, as in Lechers arrangement, the radiation in the direction of the axis does not vanish, and the analogy to the open pipe is more marked. There is then a decided displacement of the nodes and loops, well exhibited in an investigation by de Forest? The best acoustical analogy to a wire connected at one end to earth or to a large capacity and free at the other seems to be a closed pipe, gas-pressure in the pipe corresponding to potential or char e in the case of the wire. Here there is a displacement of tie nodes and loops, but it is very small, and only the odd harmonics are present in the two cases. Of course a rod clamped at one end is similar to the closed pipe.
