resistance of 149 dynes per kine, plus or minus a mechanic reactance, 

 depending on the impressed frequency. At 969<^3, the frequency of 

 apparent resonance, this reactance disappears, lea^'ing the resistance 

 of 149 dynes per kine as the residual mechanic impedance.

It should be observed that any motional-impedance circle of a 

 telephone receiver, passing through the origin of coordinates, corre- 

 sponds to such a straight-line graph of total mechanic impedance 

 parallel to the reactance axis, no matter what the depression angle of 

 the motional-impedance diameter may be. The application of the 

 factor A^ in formula (16), cancels out the diametral depression angle.
