Abstract

The great diversity of magnetic characteristics demanded by telephone apparatus, and the large number of available magnetic materials propose intricate problems in the choice of materials and design of apparatus to attain greatest efficiency and economy. The present paper undertakes to evaluate magnetic materials in relation to apparatus needs. After a review of the earlier developments, the materials now available are listed, together with data on technical characteristics and raw materials costs. The advantages of various materials for specific applications are described. The scope of possible further improvements in magnetic materials is surveyed.
