The present invention relates to vacuum tubegenerator systems and more particular- 11y to oscillator arrangements adapted to extra short waves. "35' 'In my I copendingapplication, Vacuum tube generator system, Serial Number- 99,740,
'filed April 5, 1926, I have disclosedseveral circuit arrangements,which by a convenient istribution of the radio frequency potenishing the losses,

' It is an object of the present invention to provide an arrangementparticularly adapted to extra short'waves, and in which all of the V inassiveandlarge apparatus are grouped in suchfa manner that they will all be, from'a 'radiofrequency viewpoint, at practically zero potential to ground. In thisnianner, as set forth in my copending application mentioned above,-the capacitance to ground of these 7 partsdoes not interfere, whilethe circuit losses are reduced to a minimum] "The'novel features characteristic of my inparticularity in the The invention itself, however, both as to its construction and mode of operation together withthe objects'and ad- I vantages thereof will best be understood by as well as the stray capaciappended "claims.

Referring to the arrangement shown: in Figure 1, elements 10, 11 and '12, respectively, stand for the filament, the grid,tand the plate of the wave-' enerating triode 13. 1 and 4 2 denote, the high andlow potential sources 00 which are required forfeeding the plate 12 particularly 1 ground, allow of "considerably diminployed, although it noted sufficiently large compared with the internal a modified arrangement triple self-inductance.

This self-inductance unit up of 3windings a, b and cstrongly coupled with one another, and they are preferably given the form of helices, it being merely "or the sake of clearness ofrepre'sentation that'the same is-h'ere illustrated indeveloped f t I I Since the circuit arrangements here involved are specially intended for short-wave workpno other capacities than such internal capacities of the triode as exist between electrodes 1011,'11-12 and 10-12, are emwill be understood that a capacity 14 could be inserted as shown in ig. 1A in order to obtain longer waves. The main paths of the radio frequency cur rents are along 124-68-11-12 and along 12' 4 c s 9-,10 12; It will be that, provided condensers 4 and 6 are capacity of the tube (plus capacity 14, if de sired), the radio frequency potentials set up a across condensers 4 and 6 will be negligibly Figure 1B shows another modified ar-;--
