Abstract
WHEN we consider that all matter is composed of electric ions which are in constant oscillation, it is evident that the study and measurement of electrical oscillations must always remain a leading feature of physical investigations, and the measurement of inductance, capacitance and frequency over an enormously large range must form a major part of laboratory testing. But this wide range of frequency, from a few cycles per second to the hundreds of acoustic measurements, the millions of wireless signalling, the billions of thermal and luminous radiation, and the trillions of X-rays, calls for constant development of such methods as different sections of the frequency range are utilised, so that the number of methods of measurement is already legion and must become even larger in the future.
