Scope of This Report

Material comprising this report is directed expressly at the attainment of improved application technique—the attainment of the highest possible quality of performance from a combination of particular devices to perform a given function. The performance qualities exhibited by a composite system composed of numerous devices will be influenced by the character of devices which are selected to work together and the manner in which they are interconnected or correlated. The extent to which such composite systems may be benefited by proper application technique is much greater than would be expected or imagined.

Realization of the stated objectives involves comprehensive treatment of the following character expressed quantitatively in simple compact form.

An explanation of the fundamental electrical problems involved.

Typical characteristic performance data of the various elements and devices of which the system is composed which shall define inherent limitations as well as meritorius qualities.

Methods of analysis or test by which the qualities and limitations of a particular compositedevice system may be evaluated.

Formulation of particular application practices which may be accepted with the assurance that good performance quality will be realized.

Formulation of a general analysis procedure (preferable in chronological order) which will outline the various factors which must be examined or checked.

While it will be the purpose of this report to refrain from defining or dictating specific characteristics of particular devices, it is quite possible that desirable features brought out by application considerations may be of considerable assistance to other groups in creating new devices or improving existing ones.
