45. Besides representing a somewhat independent verification of the conclusions taken from the thermal data, these ringdown measurements are more precise because of larger mechanical motion and motion that is phase locked from trial to trial

51. A more physical model would not lump these phase delays only on the input side of the tee, but half on each input and output. Up to unimportant phase shifts to the network internal variables, the two modeling approaches yield identical predictions. For the dynamics considered here, transmission line delays may be approximated by static, dispersionless phase shifts between the subcomponents.
