Purpose: Useful for obtaining a reasonably good impedance match between the two large segments of the Shive machine.
Description: Connect the tapered transformer between the two large wave machine segments. Inserting this reduces the impedance mismatch and allows a continuous sine wave to pass from one medium into the other with minimal reflection, as seen in the photograph at the left. At the right is a close-up of the tapered transformer.
