RADIO RALF-
BY A. HYATT VERRlLL.
Radio TechnOIOSiat.

One of the most efficient types of
tuning devices is the figure eight
variocoupler Oddly enough. this
form of coupler is very little known
and seldom seen, yet it is> not only
most satisfactory. but exceedingly
simple to construct.
To make this coupler you will re-
Quire two formica or other compost
tion tubes. one three inches in diane
ter and three inches long. the other
just small enough to fit Snugly inside
the other tube-say. two and three
quarter inches in diameter and about
two inches long. You will also re-
quire a disc Of wood to fit tightly
inside each tube. some No. % cotton
or Silk-covered copper wire. seven
point switch, binding posts, one
fourth inch brass rod threaded at one
end. nuts and washers to fit this and
a knob or knob and dial.
First, fasten the larger uisc of
wood in one end of the larger tube
by means of small screws close to
the end of the tube Gig. -. Then
draw a straight line across the disc.
passing exactly through its center.
and from the two ends of this line
where they meet the edge of the tube
draw two lines along the tube, being
sure to keep them parallel with the
axis of the tube. Then with a mack
saw cut carefully through the tube
along these lines. carrying the cut
from the open end of the tube for a
distance of two inches or to within
one inch of the disc in the other end
Gig. y.
If the hack saw does not cut a
fairly wide scarf you may widen 1t
by means of a fiat file. or by running
a coarser saw down the cuts, or you
may make two cuts close together
and chip or break out the compost
ton between them. The cuts do not
need to be wide--simply wide enough
to take the wire easily.
