212 BELL SYSTEM TECHNICAL JOURNAL 



Summary 



The general principles of thermistor operation and examples of specific 

 uses have been given to facilitate a better understanding of them, with the 

 feeling that such an understanding will be the basis for increased use of this 

 new circuit and control element in technology.
