 | | Now, if an oscillating triode, was weakly coupled from plate to grid so that it was more or less unstable, had its bias so arranged that the plate current was full of harmonics, the circuit would synchronize itself with another having the frequency of one of its harmonics. |
 | | Thus suppose that this unstable oscillator was adjusted for about 10,000 cycles and that the 100,000-cycle power from a crystal oscillator was impressed on its plate; then the tenth harmonic of the unstable oscillator would synchronize exactly with the impressed 100,000-cycle power. |
 | | Now, another unstable generator may have its plate circuit tuned for 1,000 cycles, and its bias adjusted to give a plate current rich in harmonics; then if the 10,000-cycle generator was coupled to its plate it would synchronize with the10,000-cycle power, by the action of its tenth harmonic. |
