Great Revival Starts


Sunday night, great revival meet
ing began at the Second Baptist
church and will continue for two
weeks or more. The pastor, Rev. E.
D. Greene, announced that his brother,
DR.. w. T. Greene, of Albuquerque, N,
NJ, would arrive in Phoenix soon to
assist in the meetings. Dr. Greene
is a great speaker and all Phoenix
will delight to hear him. You are in
vited to attend the meetings.
Arrivals From Colorado
Mr. and Mrs. c. w. Hawkins of Wal
sen, Colorado, are recent arrivals in
the city and have taken apartments
at 1880 East Washington street. They
had charge of the Industrial Y. NJ c..
A. in Walsen, Colorado, which insti-
tuition is owned by the Colorado Fuel
& Iron Co. Prior to their engagement
in Y. NJ. C. A work, they conducted a
drug store \ Trinidad, Colorado, for
eight years. They are looking over
Phoenix with view to locating.

USE OF CHOKE COIL
AND TRANSFORMERS
Latter Provide the Most Prac-
teal Method of Coupling
for the Amateur.

Figure XVIII shows the actual
circuit of a three-stage resistance
coupled amplifer. The output of such
a circuit is K times K times K the inpui
or assuming the application factor
Of each tube to be 10, the output would
be 1000 times the input. The resist
ance r is the coupling resistance
whose function it is to transform the
plate current variation to potential
drops to be applied to the grid Of the
next tube.
The capacity c is simply a means
of allowing the potential variations
across the coupling resistance r to
be applied to the grid Of the next tube,
yet not allowing the "B" battery ap-
piled to the plate circuit of a tube to
be applied to the grid Of the next.
Because of using the condenser to,
what one might say, insulate the grid
from the "B" battery potential, 1T is
necessary to use a grid leak, to keep
the charge which collects on the grid
from becoming excessive and reducing
the plate current to zero.
One of the chief disadvantages Of
the resistance coupled amplifier is
that very high plate battery poten-
The Kevin courier. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1922, 1922-08-23

assigned for maximum power ampli
f~1cation, while at the same time the
ratio of the transformer must be such
as to deliver maximum potential to
the grid circuit OF the next tube
The greatest advantages of the
transformer method of coupling audio
frequency ampllfers are the high de-
gree Of application, the relative
simplicity of operation, and the low
plate voltage required.
Chief among the disadvantages OF
the transformer coupled frequency
amplifer is noise. Also the trans
formers amplify different frequencies
to different degrees, which means
that when this type of coupling is
used for radiophone reception, the
voice is distorted by the simplifying
transformers. However, from a prac-
tical standpoint, the average amateur
will have better results using trans
former coupled audio frequency ampli-
fiers than from any other method that
CAN be used with the tubes and equip
ment now available.

EFFECTIVE PLEA FOR z0NING
Practically Impossible to Construct
Proper Sewerage System Without
Up-to-Date Arrangement.

The value Of completely zoning a
city or village is demonstrated In
many ways. One of these Is In the OPP
p%ortunity it gives the engineers to de-
sign and build sewer systems on pre-
else information as to the character,
number and use Of buildings that will
occupy the district which the sewer
system is to serve.
The information derived from the
zoning ordinance and the official maps
will tell him in advance that the area
to be drained is zoned, say, for a
single-family district. This mean to
the engineer a smaller density OF pop
u~lation, a smaller volume of sewage,
shallower and smaller sewers.
Without coming, the engineer IS
obliged to estimate the type and ID
tensity of the development of any
given district and design his sewers
on the basis of his estimate.
If In his estimate he did not pro-
vide for large numbers OF apartment
buildings or hotels, requiring provision
for a much greater volume of sew
age and deeper easements to be
drained, his sewers will be found to
be inadequate to taxi are of the dis
trict as 1t finally develops.
The inadequate sewer Is distressing
and costly, as it means the backing up

Old Houses Being Made over.

An era of remaking old houses runs
across the entire country, according tC
Northwest lumbermen.
Following the building shortage OF
late years has come an appreciation
that any house, old or new, has untold
possibilities of alteration. Architects
have been called upon to produce in
stances of before and after" of ram

into charming homes. Old barns have
been rebuilt into studios, sheds and
warehouses into residences of taste.
There is an enormous demand on
the Northwest planning mills for mold

side f~nishings, lumber and fancy
grained fir, hemlock or cedar for cab
met work.
Lumbermen declare this demand has

reception on short waves by the super
heterodyne principle.
On the other side Of the Atlantic the
British amateurs, restricted in their
hobby by ultra-conservative government
regulations, have turned their atten.
tion solely to radio-frequency ampli-
fcation. This has given excellent re
suits on all long and medium wave
lengths, but its success on shorter wave
lengths has depended solely upon rle
expert handling of the operator, who
has been compelled to use tuned
coupling circuits between each of the
radio-frequency tubes.
1t is too early yet to tell which Of
the two systems will ultimately tri-
umph, but there is no doubt that the
laurels at the present moment rest
upon the American amateurs through
the latest achievement of their leader,
Armstrong, in the production of the

Home Owning is by No Means a Lost

Is home owning a lost ambition ?

OF 68 cities of more than
100000 population but 20 show a

losses are more than offset by the
gains of the other 49. OF the 20

Although in New York more homes
are owned than in any other city, the
percentage Is the lowest, but 1877, yet
even here the percentage has grown
from 1T in 1910 and 12.1 in 1900.
Manhattan presents the most striking
situation. With more than half a mil

owned, little more than 2 per cent.

Resistance-coupled simplifying may
be used to amplify either radio OF
audio frequency.
A method of Transforming the
change in plate current of a vacuum
tube to differences in potential is by
means of a choke coil. A choke coil
consists of a number of turns of wire
wound up in a multilayer coil and
may or may not have an iron core. A
coil Of this kind offers a high i'm
pedance to the flow of alternating cur
rent, but has a relatively low direct
current resistance
The choke coil on account of hav-
ing a low ohmic resistance, will have
a smaller method Of coupling, so that
lower "B" battery potential can be
used on choke coil coupled amplifiers
and the batteries can be Of smaller
capacity.
The choke coil not only has induct-
ance but a certain amount of dfstrib-
uted capacity. The distributed ca
pacity of the coil plus the capacity Of
the plate with respect to the flament,
together with the i~nductance of the
coil, give to the plate circuit a GER
tain definite period. That is, the plate
circuit is an oscillating circuit whose
resonant frequency is determined by
the total capacity and inductance in
the circuit.
If the choke coil be made variable,
1t will not only serve to transform the
plate current variation with maximum
plate potential variations, but It will
also serve to tune out unwanted fire.
quencies. When the plate circuit of
the ampliier is tuned, the resonant
frequency is amplified K times, but all
other f~requencies are amplifed to a
less degree.
Another and by far the most
widely used method of coupling sue
tubes in a cascade amplifier is
by means of transformers. The trans
method of coupling amplifier
tubes may be considered a develop
ment and a refinement of the simpler
choke coil method. Coupling tubes
