(2) In case of international disagreement, the comparisons shall be made by an absolute method of measuring frequencies. ARTICLE 4 Classification and 'USe of rcu1io emissiom §1. (1) Radio emissions shall be divided into two classes: A. Continuous waves, B. Damped waves, defined as follows: Class A.- Waves the successive oscillations of which are identical under permanent conditions.

(2) Waves of Class A include the following types, which are defined below: Type Al: Unmodulated continuous waves. Continuous waves, the amplitude or frequency of which is varied by means of telegraphic keying. 2849 License. Requirements. Choice and calibra- tion of apparatus.
