This paper describes and explains the theory of the feedback principle and then demonstrates how stability of amplification and reduction of modulation products, as well as certain other advantages, follow when stabilized feedback is applied to an amplifier. The underlying principle of design by means of which singing is avoided is next set forth. The paper concludes with some examples of results obtained on amplifiers which have been built employing this new principle. The carrier‐in‐cable system dealt with in a companion paper involves many amplifiers in tandem with many telephone channels passing through each amplifier and constitutes, therefore, an ideal field for application of this feedback principle. A field trial of this system was made at Morristown, New Jersey, in which seventy of these amplifiers were operated in tandem. The results of this trial were highly satisfactory and demonstrated conclusively the correctness of the theory and the practicability of its commercial application.
