Importance of High Working Efficiency. The importance of maintaining in telegraph lines as high a ratio of insu- lation to conductivity resistance as possible, is shown in a striking manner by the figures given in Table X. For example, suppose it were required to determine the effect of increasing the ratio of effi- ciency of a given circuit from i : 10, 000, the basis on which the table is computed, to i : 20, 000. This might be effected, either by doubling the resistance of the insulators, or... by halving the resistance of the line ; that is, 8 megohm insulators might be used instead of 4, or wire of 5 ohms per mile instead of 10, either of which would affect the ratio in like manner. But the resistance of the line, referred to in (242), taken in units of the first column of Table X, is now only 1, 000 instead of 2, 000, and the percentage of received currents is therefore raised from 26. 6 to 64. 8. On a line of 250 miles, it would be raised from 14. 7 to 52. 9; that is, more than 3^ times as much current would be received at the end of the line.
