Abstract
It is shown that an amplifier with its input and output terminals connected together can behave as a negative resistance. This principle leads to the design of an oscillator employing two triodes, and having certain advantages over both the ordinary reaction circuit and the screen-grid dynatron. Some special wave-forms which were observed are illustrated. A method of using the instrument to measure the dynamic resistance of an oscillatory circuit is suggested.
