By graphical constructions are meant those geometric manipulations by which are obtained solutions to problems on nonlinear circuits, particularly those involving vacuum tubes. Analytical derivations are often in the body of the text, as in the chapters on balanced amplifiers and on detection. Much of the material here is original, and a good deal of this appeared in the 'RCA Review' and in 'Communications.' However, in many instances the discussion has been expanded and revised, as in the chapter on balanced amplifiers. Chapters include 1. The Non-Linear Circuit Problem 2. Thermoionic Vaccum Tubes 3. Elementary Graphical Constructions 4. Reactive Loads 5. Balanced Amplifiers. 6. Detection 7. Misc. Graphical Constructions. Each chapter has its own bibliography. From the Radio Communication Series.
