II in file book. The articles PRINT
ed are continuous and the entire
series wiH be valuable for reference.
The greatest advances made In the
past few years In the radio art have
been due In one way or another to
the use of vacuum tubes. In view OF
this fact more careful consideration
of them will be of interest.
All of these tubes, known by va
riety of names. such as radiotron, au'
dion, seriotron Grade names OF the
manufacturer) depend upon the sama
fundamental principles for their OPP
Grafton. For the sake Of simplicity
of brevity these will be referred to In
this column simply as vacuum tubes.
A vacuum tube can be made to func-
tion as detector. as an amplifer, or
as an oscillator.
The vacuum tube depends on the
emission and control of electrons for
It's operation. The electron Is the
smallest subdivision of matter which
mankind recognizes and II carries the
smallest known charge of negative
electricity. For years previous to
electron research 1t had been held by
scientists that matter was built up of
distinct particles or units which they
called atoms and molecules. AT first
the molecule was assumed to be the
smallest quantity of matter that could

part In chemical action, but more vig-
orous research pointed to the fact that
the molecule is made up Of still small
er elements which are termed atoms:
that is. u molecule may be composed
of several atoms. Then for time 1t
was assumed that the atom was the
very smallest quantity Of an element
that could exist, but later researches
have revealed that atoms may be
further subdivided into particles

ed more recently that this is due to the
release OF electrons and that If an
incandescent metal be placed in a
bulb exhausted of all gases. pure cleo
irons will be liberated from the in
candescent metal.
In q vacuum tube such as we are
using at the present time, the piece
of metal used to furnish the electrons
is called the filament and is usually
made of tungsten and sometimes Is
coated with oxides to increase the
electrOn emission. For convenience
the filament of vacuum tube is heat
ed By a battery current and 1t IL this
heat furnished by the battery current
that constitutes the force that dis
rupts the atoms of the f1lament and
liberates electrons.
Fig. Ill is spherical glass bulb
from which all the air and gases have
been exhausted and having mounted In
1t filament CD which can be heated
to incandescence by the "A" battery
connected to It, and the metallic plate
Il. When the filament CD is heated
to incandescence by the "A" battery
connected across Its terminals cleo
irons are emitted. Connecting the
cold plate Il TO the incandescent fla
ment CD by means of the circuit E
F-G-H which Includes a current meter
and a "B" battery, with Its negative
side connected to the filament lead
at II and its positive side connected
through the current meter, the plate
becomes electrically positive with re-
spect to the filament.
Since like charges repel and unlike
charges attract, there will be a move
ment of electrons from the filament
to the positively charged plate, and
the current meter will show a defiec-
ton which indicates that a current Is
flowing In the circuit E-F-G-H.
Increasing the "B" battery voltage
causes an Increase In the current
flowing In the circuit E-F-G-H, the
plate circuit, until the positive charge
on the plate is so strong that all
of the electrons given on by the fila
ment are attracted to II. Assuming
that the temperature of the filament II

called electrons. The apparent mass
of an electron is about one-eighteen-
hundreth part Of that of an atom of
chemical atoms.
According to the electron theory
an atom consists of a definite mum
ber of electrons grouped around II
nucleus having positive charge and
so long as none of the component
electrons are driven from the atom.
the latter possess no detachable charge.
The positive charge on the nucleus is
said to be exactly neutralized by the
negative charges on the electrons
grouped about II.
Suppose now that by some means
an electrOn can be detached from the
atom. Then the atom becomes what
is known as a positive ion and II ex-
hibits the properties Of a positively
charged body, or in other words since
an electron which carries negative
charge has been removed from the
atom VIII. n has equal positive and
negative charges, the portion of the
atom now remaining has a deficiency
of negative chhrge anu aCts INT aiiH
positively charged body.
on the other hand II some force can
be brought to bear that Will add an
electron to a normal atom which Is
neutral as far as electrical charges
are measured, the result will be ne
gative ion, which will possess all the
properties of negatively charged
body. An atom then which has a
deficiency of electrons is called pos
tive ion and one having excess or
electrons is called negative ion
Since each electron carries ne
gative charge of electricity an cleo
tron represents a certain quantity OF
electricity. Forcing electrons to move
from one point to another causes
electricity to flow. The ability of any
medium to conduct electricity or allow
current TO flow through 1t depends
upon the number of free electrons
available as carriers of charges.
II has been known for many years
that the space surrounding piece of
heated metal is a conductor OF

ADVICE FOR AMATEURS.

The voltages applied TO the
plate circuits of simplifying
tubes are not extremely critical
and one voltage control will suf-
fee. The detector tube, how
ever, is often very critical and
an efficient potentiometer will
work wonders in controlling 1t.
Apparatus used for the recep-
ton of broadcasting is exactly
the same as that used for the
reception of code signals. The
transmitting equipment, how
ever. is different.
The use of single wire for
reception Is advantageous be-
cause it lessons the amount Of
objectional interference in the
way of static. 1t Is equally as
good as a multiple wire system
for reception.
Defective "B" batteries will
often cause roaring In the tele-
phone receivers.
The electrOn often talked
about is the smallest known
quantity of negative electrical
energy. In motion 1t makes up
the electric current.
A soft" vacuum tube Is used
as a detector tube and hard"
vacuum tube as an amplifier.
The terms hard" and soft"
refer to degree of evacuation.
Radio waves travel at the
same speed as light, namely
10000 miles per second.
A wavemeter is an instru-
ment used for checking up the
wave lengths of sending and re-
ceiving stations.
Gas pipe or water pipe sys-
TENS may be used for grounds,
the latter being more advisable.
Lightning protection secured
by grounding the antenna when
not I'm use Is essential and u re-
quired by the underwriters.
