! 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 a 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 same
fundamental principles for, their op-
Grafton. For the sake Of simplicity
OF breyity these will be referred to in
this column simply as vacuum tubes.
A vacuum tube can be made to func-
ton as detector, as an ampliier, 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 it carries the
smallest known charge of negative
electricity. For. years previous to
;electron research it 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
have a. separate existence or take
part in chemical action, but more Wig
orous research pointed to the fact that
the molecule is made up of still small7
er elements which are termed atoms !;
that is, a molecule may be composed
of several atoms. Then for time it
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

called electrons. The apparent mass
of an electron is about one-eighteen-
hundreth part Of that Of an atom of
hydrogen which is the smallest Of the
chemical atoms.
According to the electron theory
an atom consists of a definite num-
Der of electrons grouped around
nucleus having positive charge and
so long as none of the component
ielectrons 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 it.
Suppose now that by some means
an electron can be detached from the
atom. Then the atom becomes what
lis known as a positive ion and it ex-
hibits the properties Of a positively
charged body, or in other words since
an electron which carries a negative
charge has been removed from the
atom which has equal positive and
negative charges, the portion of the
atom now remaining has deficiency
of negative charge and acts like any
positively charged body.
On the other hand if 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 a ne
gative ion, which will possess all the
properties of a negatively charged
body. An atom then which has
deficiency Of electrons is called pos
itive ion and one having excess Of
electrons is called a negative ion.
Since each electron carries ne
gative charge of electricity an cleo
tron represents q 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.
It has been known for many years
that the space surrounding a piece of
heated metal is a conductor of
electricity. It has been demonstrat-
ed more recently that this is due to the
release Of electrons and that if an
incandescent metal be placed In
bulb exhausted of all gases. pure cleo;
irons will be liberated from the in.
.candescent metal.
In vacuum tube such. as we are
using at the present time, the piece
of metal used to furnish the eleetrons;
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

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 it.
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 a single wire for
reception is advantageous be-
cause it lessons the amount of
objectional interference in, the
way of static. It is equally as
good as a multiple wire system
for reception.
Defective "B" batteries will
often cause roaring. in the tele-
phone receivers. + ..az
The electron often talked
about is, the smallest known
quantity of negative electrical
energy. In motion it makes up
the electric current.
A ''soft" vacuum tube Is used
as a detector tube and a hard
vacuum tube as an amplifier.
The terms s.hard'' and "soft''
refer to-degree Of evacuation.
Radio waves travel at the
: same speed as light, namely
10000 miles per second.
A wayemeter is an instru-
ment used for checking up the
wave lengths Of sending and re-
ceiving stations.

TENS may be used for grounds,
the latter being more advisable.
