Well Made "B" Battery
Carefully Constructed

Burgess "B" Battery-Some time.
when an inclination TO know a little
more about the set comes strolling
around. concentrate on this for awhile:
Where does the energy that wiggles
the telephone diaphragm come from IN
a tube set? IL has 20 come from some
where. Of course. In a plain little
crystal receiver IL Is eombed out or
the passing electromagnetic waves by
the aerial. but when the tubes are used
go that much more energy arrives at
the phones-well, that is another
thing.
AS a matter Of fact, by far The most
of IL, in the ordinary tube set, comes
from the "B" battery. Little credit
do most Of us give the inert, wax,
topped box showed into the background
of the set for any such performance as
this. After all, it is well worth the
space Il occupies.
Burgess abs" are admirable exam
ples as little storehouses Of energy
They come in all sizes, from the little
one.pounders with 221z volt capacity
TO the 2s-pound size delivering a maxi
mum voltage of 113. The ordinary
Ax3x6% inch size weighs FIVE pounds
and Is tapped at four intermediate
points between the negative post and
22H volts positive. The posts are OF
ample but effective design, a spring
stop Of brass bearing against the
lower face Of the milled thumb screw
so that the connection Is clamped be-
tween conductive surfaces.
Packed solidly in wax In a heav'
cardboard box and separated by. I'm
pregnated partitions are the fifteen
small cells that contribute their vital
itv TO making the music agreeably
loud as IL comes from the phones OF
sneaker. Pure zinc is used in the con-
struction Of the seamless cell con-
tainer and negative electrode. Aroun'
the outside Of each cell is double
wrapper Of moisture proof material
that assists In suppressing. the leaN-
age noise characteristic Of the less
carefully constructed types OF "B'
battery. Over the top Of all the cells
is a LAYER Of wax more than half an
inch thick that completely submerRe'
the timed copper conecting leads and
the brass caps Of the positive termi.
nails TO which they are soldered. Man

denser across the loop condenser will
help quite a little. and in the second

questions regarding this h0ok-up1 /. Can

tance and volume with the changer Any
suggestions regarding the above will be
appreciated. IL B. J..
Answer-You can use the tuning ele-
ments OF your receiver In conjunction
with the double function circuit OF
course, this circuit is still more or less
IN an experimental state, and every
thing depends upon having the fixed
eondensers Of n correct capacity 10 ~
the characteristics Of the tubes that
are used. This can be determined only
by experiment. There is a possibility
that the w. d II tubes viii work In
this circuit. but / doubt very much
whether they will give suitable results
as they arc not altogether what we
would call "hhrd" tubes. The U. v
20l's would be much better. The
radio-frcquency transformers should
all be Of the same type, and the audio'
frequency transformers should also be
Of the same type or at least OF The
same general characteristics, especially
as regards ratio Of turns between The
primary and secondary. This circuit
II properly put together should in
crease distance, as you are actually
getting two stages OF radio-frequeney
modification. The tube part OF the
circuit should be Joined TO the sec
ondary OF your tuner In the same man
ner that the variomctcr was shown IL
the diagram. The 23-plate condenser
will be shunted across the secondary

BY Ralph X. Potter
Tribune Tnstitute Engineer

The following apparatus and instru-
ments we're subjected 10 complete and
thorough tests under actual conditions
in the radio laboratory Of The Tribune
Institute. All have been given the
Institute seal Of approval.
Compact Single Circuit
Regenerative Receiver
The Clapp- Eastman Company Type
HR RegeneTative Receiver-With all
the intricate coneoctions Of coils, con-
densers. tubes. rheOstats and trans
formers prescribed in the progressive
radio periodicals IL is q curious fact
that most Of us resort 20 the good
old standard hook-ups when we crave
musical nourishment. The Type HR
enbodies the best sort Of apparatus
and construction in one Of these stand
ard combinations. On the average
aerial il will cover a wave length
range Of from 180 20 825 meters, with
good results all along the line.
-Four knobs on the 9 by TX inch
dull finished condensite panel control
the tuning. on the left are two heavily
enameled metallic dials, the upper for
setting the fve-plate condenser IN the
aerial circuit and the lower 10 obtain
the proper coupling for the tckler.
Both are graduated and identified by
engraved. white hlled letters on the
panel above them. At the lower right
hand corner is the specially designed
point switch used for varying the
amount Of inductance in the aerial
circuit. The fan blades OF the con-
tact short-circuit the turns that are
not active. so that the losses due 70
auto-transformer effect are reduced to
a minimum.
Directly above the antenna induct-
ance switch is the flament rheostat
knob. the adjustment Of which is an
important part of the tuning opera
tion. The most simple method OF pro
ccdure for tuning such a set as this
is 70 start with the filament rheostat
turned about three-quarters out or IN
the direction indicated as increase
on the panel above the knob. Then
with the tickler turned TO a minimum
counting or the dial on zero the con-
oenser and inductance knobs are
turned until the music or speech IS
heard. Leaving the inductanee switch
alone. the condenser is now manipu-
lated until the signal becomes loudest.
Then the flament rheostat is carefully
adjusted in the same way, and hnaliy
the tickler dial.
The inductive turns In the antenna
circuit are wound upon a composition
tube with we'll soldered tap leads con-
nected TO the switch points. Revoiv-
ing in this tube is a moulded ball upon
which the ticker coil is carried. Con-
nections to the five-plate, balanced
condenser and all the other elements
in the circuit are positive enough to
eliminate any possibility Of high re-
sistance OF intermittent connections.
Nickeled brass binding posts are pro-
vided for the six external connections
necessary. These arc antenna, ground
telephones and flament battery. q
compartment is provided for a small
221k volt "B" battery within the caoi-
net. so that two Of the usual terminals
are dispensed with.
