Equations (77), (78) and (79) substituted in (76) will give 



P= -^Z{-^f-^,-Fn{B), (80) 



where Fn (B) is a polynomial in B'',B~,B'^,etc., where the coefficients 

 of the several powers of B are contained in the table of page 225. 



In this table the bottom row of terms gives the coefficients of the 

 powers of B, when the summation indicated in (80) is performed 

 w4th /; = 2, 4, 6- • • • 00. The various terms in the columns were 

 employed in obtaining the last row by addition. 



The coefficient of JB^° is not contained in the table, because of its 

 numerous terms, but its value when summed up is

Substituting the values of the coefficients multiplied by the corre- 

 'sponding powers of B and summing up as indicated in equation (80), 

 we obtain for the power the expression

This equation gives the average power radiated in the aerial hemisphere 



from the flat-top of the antenna regarded as a separate radiator with the 



distribution that it has under the fundamental assumptions of the problem. 



The current is to be measured in absolute electrostatic units, and the power 



is in ergs per second.
