INVENTOR REVEALS
MYSTERY OF TUBE

An interesting story is associated
with the much talked Of super-re-
generative circuit invented by Maj
E. H. Armstrong. 1t will be re-
called that a Ions period of litiga-
tion followed the announcement OF
Armstrong that he had invented a
regenerative receiver. the forerun-
ner of the present super-regenera-
tive circuit.
Lee De Forrest. inventor of the
De Forrest vacuum tube. was GER
tain that developments made by
Armstrong originated with him (De
ForrestD. The court. however.
ruled otherwise and gave to the
younger radio expert the credit
II then developed that De Forrest,
who had the essentials OF the re-
generative system in his own
hands, had not been able TO fathom
the possibilities of his invention.
He conceived OF more than he was
able to demonstrate. IL was here
that Maj. Armstrong. after months
of exhaustive study and experiment
tation. determined just how much
the vacuum tube was capable Of.
He found what De Forrest missed /:
he worked the vacuum tube TO the
limit of its possibilities and
brought IL to its present perfection.
The newer super-regenerative ef-
fects are but a continuation of this
laborious and determined study
into the secrets held bound till the
advent of the inventors touch.

coupled to the grid circuit. ampll-
fed in the first tube and fed back
to the grid by means of the ticker
coil. The tickler coupling is made
large enough to carry the circui:
beyond the oscillating point. The
second tube acts as oscillator of
any frequency desired. Generally.
one OF about 10000 cycles is suit
able. The amateur and expert
menter will recognize the usual
oscillating circuits. The coils and
condensers should he SO selected as
to give this frequency (Which COR
responds to a wave length OF about
10000 meters).
Note that the plate oscillatory
circuit is also in the plate circuit
of the first tube. The plate volt
age of this regenerating tube is
thus varied at a frequency of 10000
cycles. When the oscillations are
such as to make the plate more
positive, regeneration is increased
beyond the oscillating point. and
the signal amplitude increases to
a very great value.

been said about local broadclsting

SUPER-REGENERATIVE EFFECT
OF CIRCUIT IS PLAINED
New Device May Supersede Present Appliance
e When Made Practicable.

All owners of regenerative sets
have noticed that when they turn
their dials too far loud howls are
prod iced. This is because the tube
starts to osc.lIate within itself. The
new Armstrong Super Regenerative
system Of which so much has been
heard, owes its remarkable results
to those oscillations. which 1t uses
to increase the loudness OF the sig
nails while eliminating the bowling
The system Is described in the
wireless Age. explaining that Arm
strong takes advantage of regenera-
tion to the limit of a tube. and still
prevents IT from o-cillating. He
has discovered that he can stop
oscillations in a negative resistance
circuit either by introducing resi-
tance in the circuit at definite in
tervais or by reducing the amount
of regeneration. so that the circuit
resistance becomes positive and
negative alternately. In both casos
the effect is to give the circuit first
a positive and then a negative re-
sistance. This alienation is suf-
ficient to prevent oscillations. Dur
ing the negative resistance period
we can make full use of the very
great ampl!fication produced-but
