Principle and Theory of Wireless Telegraphy

Means for manifesting these oscillations permit us to correctly read all signals sent out from the transmitting station.

To clearly receive all signals transmitted from the sending station, it can be readily understood that the capacity and inductance must be adjusted to give exactly the same frequency: otherwise the natural frequency of the circuit would counteract the forced oscillations set up by the received waves, thus causing an interference or prevention of oscillations in this particular receiving station. Of course this would have no detrimental effect on other receiving stations which might be adjusted to harmonize with the waves.
