Making Audio Tansformer

Questicu--Some time ago INQUIRED
ABOUT the construction OF sudio frequency
transformer, and that time YOU gave me
the number of winding needed if Il il
wound with No. ~ r. & 8 wire but I am
Rolng TO use No. 40 copper wire for wind
ing, so please let ms know how many
turns or primary and secondary winding
need.-rM. Y.
Answer An audio frequency trans
former wound with No. 40 B. G. s.
gauge can be constructed as follows /:
The core should be made up of two
oval sections of laminated silicon
steel, No. "a B. & S. gauge. There
should be sixteen strips to each of the
two ovals. The laminated sheets
should be one-half inch wide. The two
ovals will form two magnetic pathways
and both should be magnetically closed.
These two ovals should be placed
together and the primary and second
ary wound over them. The primary
will be wound on a spool of thin fiber
board, one inch in diameter and three
have approximately 1900 turns of No
40 single silk-coyered wire.
The secondary should be wound on
two spools, each one inch in diameter
and one half inch long, with total of
approximately $500 turns of No. 40
single silk-covered wire.
The two secondary spools should be
placed on either side of the prim ry.
The winding can be done by placing
the spool on the shaft of small cleo
trio motor.

Crystal Detector Model Sc"
This is another miniature set also
Of unique design. The only variable
part is the condenser. The inductances
are fixed for different wave lengths
and slip into slots. The crystal de-
tector is also fixed, but is arranged that
it can be rotated in its fixture. The
set is compact and simple.
The set operates quite satisfactorily
on the average outdoor aerial, but its
tuning is broad due to the fact that it
is conductively coupled circuit.

Wave Length Range of Set

Question: would like to know the
maximum and minimum wave length of a
vari-coupler primary wound with fifty six
turns of No. 22 d C c wire on a 4-inch
tube tapped every eight turns. secondary
has thirty eight turns of No "a wire en- a
5 v Inch rotor. My aerial is single wire
rs feet long with 20 feet lead in. 43 plate
variable condenser in series with primary.
Can use tinfoil to shield my set7 Can a
single fuse be used as lightning arrester 2
II SO, please show how it is connected p
T. B,
Answer-vIt is impossible for me to
state exactly just what the maximum
and minimum wave length range of
your set actually is. That can be de-
termined only by means of wave
meter. / should say, however, that ap-
proximately it has range Of $50 to
500 meters. You can use tinfoii to
shield your set. A fuse will be Of no
value to you as lightning arrester.
What you need is very small gap,
which can be made of two pieces of
metal separated by thin sheet of mica
shunted across the aerial and the
ground.

Many Sets Now Undergoing Tests

During the frst week of It's 4ner.
ton the radio laboratory Of Tha Tr;h.
une Institute has conducted series
u rests upon various types of an
paratns submitted by. manufacturers
Many of these will have to he cor.
sinaea before a, final report can he
rendered. A large number of complete
receiving types have been tested and
approved. and these will be renor+ed
as rapidly as possible.
me. report this Sunday consists ne
a loud speaking unit and three nov Al
crystal detector sets. The tests wera
conducted by Ralph X. Potter. enei-
neer OF The Tribune Institute with
my cooperation.
Loud Speaking OUTFIT. Type Io.A
This consists of a two-stape an,n,;-
fler employing three SPECIAL yacn,, y,
tubes and telephone receiver Of ais.
tinctive type. The simplifying section
is contained in cabinet eouinped with
one control. The cabinet measures 12M
by 10 by AZ inches, and is surmounted
by q nat panel. Upon the latter ia
the mutti-contact switch, which con-
trolls the volume Of sound and a baf.
terry button for shutting off the cur
rent when the set is not in use. There
are also the necessary binding posts
and sockets for the vacuum tubes.
The unique feature of this outfit is
the -andpull" system employed
on the last stage of amplifcation Bv
means OF this arrangement large
amounts of energy can be handled
without distortion. A nine-volt drv
cell battery is connected to the grids
of the three tubes in order to main
tain negative potential on them. This
battery is part of the internal equip
ment of the cabinet.
The telephone receiver is also ar-
ranged on the push-pull principle a
free-moving armature being suspended
between the poles of a magnet. The
armature is connected to q lever which
is fastened to the diaphragm. The
latter is corrugated.
Ihe tubes used in the set are of the
Western Electric type similar in con-
struction TO the VIZ used by the army
and navy during the war. The grid
and plate assembly are supported bv
strong glass stem inside the tube.
Ine hiament IS oxide coated, and burns
with dull red glow. The normal fila
ment voltage is six volts. Norma |
plate current seven to nine milliam
peres, plate voltage 100 to 13o volts.
The outfit was found TO operate with
excellent results, the volume being
sufficient TO ili a large room, and
could be heard clearly above all ordi-
nary external noises. The quality is
especially good, remarkably clear and
free from distortion.
Manufactured by the Western Elec-
trio Company, New York City.

The Ry.Paas Condenser

Question--Yn your Radio Primer OF Au-
gust 20. 1929. you give a diagram of a
two-staga audio frequency amplifer.
notice that you have q Condenser between
the primary and secondary leads of the
first transformer. Why Is thisT What is
the capacity? You also have condenser
between the plate and the B battery on
the second tube. Why is this and what is
it's capaciy M. iD.
Answer-The condenser shown across
the primary of the first. transformer is
what is known as 6 by pass condenser.
1t affords path Of low Impotence for
the high frequency currents to pass
erative circuit on the detector. This
condenser should be .002 MED capac
ity. The other condenser is the tele-
phone condenser and serves the same
purpose. 1t also clears up lot of the
minor noises that would otherwise be
heard in the telephones.

Using A. c. to Light FiIament

Question: have been trying A. G. step
ped down to volts to light the fiament
IN my single circuit regenerative set.
took the huok-up from radio magazine,
but there Is such hum in the phones that
T cannot get anything not even te!egra ph.
Can you suggest how this hook-up should
be changed SO TO balance out the hum
with tho potentiometer. or is there any
other way that ! could hook up so as
to use A. c. on the filament@ x. N.
Answer--Up to the present there is
no satisfactory substitute for the stor-
age battery. You cannot eliminate the
effect of the alternating current hum
except by the installation of large
amount of equipment that will be far
TOO expensive for the results obtained,
and even with this expensive equip.
ment it is impossible to eliminate the
hum altogether. / would strongly ad-
wise you to return to the storage bat

Winding Yarin.ConnIer

Question: have two variometers grid
leak, u V tube No 900 and socket
wound yet, as am in doubt just how many
turns to put on primary and secondary.
l also have 43-piate variable condenser,
which ! imagine isn't necessary unless you
say SOL. c.
Answer--Place eighty turns ON the
taps off each of the first eight turns
and joining them to the switch with
suitable contact points, and then take
taps off each succeeding group Of eight
turns and join them to another switch
IN the same manner. Place fifty turns
on the secondary, using the size of

FARM WORK DELAYED
ACCOUNT HEAVY RAINS

Excessive rains delay farm work .
According to report by, E. B. Hare,
Agricultural Statistician in South
Carolina for the Bureau Of Markets
and Crop Estimates, United States De-
Partment Of Agriculture. excessive
rains for the past five or six weeks
have delayed farm work from 10 to
Is days and possibly longer in clay
soils.
Corn and cotton. Some corn has
been planted in central, southern and
eastern counties and a limited acre
age OF cotton in a few of the coastal
counties, though farmers generally
are very much behind.
Wheat, Oats, Etc.
Small grain Small grains were
looking well up until within the past
week but rust is now very noticeable
in many fields of wheat and oats ap-
pear to be suffering from too much
rain or lack of fertilizers. Condition
Of wheat on April 1 was sc per cent
Of normal and rye per cent.
Increase in breeding soWs-The
number Of breeding sows in the State
shows an increase of 2 per cent over
last year, which. is attributed largely
to an increased interest in growing
hogs for market, especially in the
central an southern half Of the State
where boil weevil infestation has been
and is still very severe.
Farm labor, supply and demand
The supply of farm labor is about the
same as last year, though the pres
ent need is reported at 81 per cent as
compared with the normal demand 1.
The supply for the entire United
States is reported at 99:5 per cent as
compared with year ago, while the
demand is 1913 per cent as compared
