Combination of Tubes

.. l am using two-stage hook-up l would like to substitute a one and a half Volt detector tube for UV 2n0 and still use UV 211 tubes for ampIi- flying, also to add variometers tc plate and grid circuits. Please advise me If this is practical. F. T. W.
 4. It will be quite possible to use the la volts deteotor tube in your set, provided you use separate bat tery circuits entirely for the detectoI and simplifying sections. Use dry cell battery to light the tube of the detector and a separate B battery. Then make your amplifying section an entirely different unit, with its own A and B batteries. The input to this section can be led from the place where the telephones are in the de- tector unit. You can add a vario- meter to the plate and grid circuits in the usual manner

First Aid For Radio Fans

interesting letter. It is very difficult to give advice on radio reception with regard to distance, be- cause so many variable factors have to be taken into consideration. First of all, there is the power used at the transmitting station; second, the con- struction and efficiency of the receiV- ing set, and third the locality. Con sequently the policy that l have adopted is to take an average value
 in giving advice, leaning little toward the conservative side in estimating rather than the radical side
 In some localities 1t will be possible to receive very much greater dis tances than in others, and the pleas ure of being able to exceed the average is more enjoyable than mere- ly coming up to what is generally conceded to be normal range by those who are too optimistic with regard to distances.
 After all, I think you will agree with me that the conservative policy Is the best in these days of rapidly constructed apparatus. In which very little care is paid to detail. l am always glad, however, to get letters
 showing that exceptional distances have been covered in unusual cases.

Feedback For Super R

Q. am making super-regenera- tive receiver, and am asking you for help. If I use a vario- coupler with forty-five turns of No. 20 wire oa rotor, how would you rewire this to get double number turns? Can l use the turns already on rotor and wire on top of these if l do not have room, or should l take these off and wind with smaller wire? B. P. R.
 A. There are two ways in which you can take care of the feedback coil: One Is by rewriting the rotor of your vario-coupler with smaller wire and putting about 100 turns upon it. Or. second, leaving the vario-coupler rotor just as it is and joining the variometer in series with it. If you do the latter. it will be necessary to have the variometer in an inductive relationship to the vario- coupler. and also to have it joined correctly. By this l mean that it may be necessary to reverse the connections on the variometer In order to get the correct flow of current through it.

"UsinE n Loop on Cry.t.l..

HenQ A line after reading the last question and answer in this column Sunday. October s. This question and an swer are headed Using a Loop on
 Crystal" and your answer implies that reception with a tuned loop and crystal combination is limited to a few blocks. While coil aerial or loop will not bring in as much radia- ton energy as even a small antenna and while any properly working rube Is more sensitive than the best crys- tai you have set the distance limit
 too low. For example. sec Radio News" for September. 1922, page 432, describing broadcasting in Paris. ". and it is possible within a raido of about six miles to receive concert on an indoor loop with a crystal detector."
 At our house (which is two miles from "WGY'D an aerial coil with tuning condenser. crystal and phones,
 is regularly used by different mcm- Iers of the family to hear the con certs, bedtime stories, etc.
 On several occasions this loop has been taken outside the city. In the
 middle of the day in an open field miles west of the towers stock Quo- tations were taken down. On two
 other occasions in the evening, outside of the city toward the east music was heard and announcements were understood at distances of six and seven miles.
 Young children have no difficulty in setting up the cell and tuning at
 the house. but at a distance of five | or six miles considerable care in alignment tuning and crystal setting Is needed, and the test should be made in a quiet place.--J. B. T. A. Many thanks for your very

Loud Speaker Amplifier


 c. What information can you give me to increase the effectiveness of my magnaVoN? My set consists of one 43 plate Chelsea condenser, one Baldwin varicoupler and two Baldwin variometers, with two tubes of am plification and one deteetor tube. In my set l use one VT-2 and two VT-1 tubes. Between the output of my re- ceiving set and my magnavox I have put Che Crossley transformer and one Crossley two-step amplifier. l can get volume of sound out of my mag navox, but same is very much dis torted. In the Crossley two-step am phffer l have put two raditron UV 2O1 tubes. Would appreciate very much any info rmation as to how | can increase my efficiency. A. W. l..
 A. In this case it is very difficult to give you advice without actually seeing the set and judging the output from it. There is. however, one sug- sestion that l would make. and that Is that you place the two UV POI tubes in the amplifying section of your radio receiver. l take it from your letter that you are using a VT l as a detector. You can still do this. but use the UV 2o1s as the amplifiers of your receiving set.
 In the power amplifier that you used in conjunction with the magma vox l would suggest that ycu place the remaining VT in the first stage and the uV in the second stage. The amount of voltage that you are using on the plate circuits of these tubes is also an Important thing. On the de- tector l would not use more than 2S a--maybe less will help you. On the two. simplifying stages. of tbe actual receiver do not place more than 4S volts. On the first stage of the power amplifier I would also. suC- Gest 45 volts. but on the second stage. with the UT 2. you can go as hiKh as

The Single Tube Set

Q. Is there such a set as single tube super regenerative set? If SO what does it consist of? Would this be better than regenerative set consisting of variable condenser .00i mid, 1 vario-coupler, l variometer. an audion detector and two step ann plifier. R P. T.
 X. The single tube super-regener tor using a loop aerial is about as good as the regenerative receiver with two stages of a'mplification using an outdoor aerial. The single tube circuit however. is somewhat difficult to manipulate and will take a little longer getting used to it.

short of the levels reached by the
