ADVICE FOR AMATEURS.

The voltages applied to the plate circuits of amplifying tubes are not extremely critical and one voltage control will suf- flee. The detector tube, how ever, is often very critical and an efficient potentiometer will work wonders in controlling it.
 Apparatus used for the recep- tion 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 1t lessens the amount of objectional interference in the way of static. It is equally as good as a multiple wire system for reception. .t..
 Defective "B" batteries will dften cause roaring in the tele- phone receivers. .t"
 The electron often talked about is the smallest known quantity of negative electrical energy. In motion 1t makes up the electric current. .-#s
 A "soft" vacuum tube is used as a detector tube and "hard" vacuum tube as an amplifier. The terms ''hard' and "soft" refer to degree of evacuation.
 Radio waves travel at the same speed as light, namely 186,0O0 miles per second.
 A wavemeter is an instru- ment used for checking up the wave lengths of sending and re- ceiving stations.
 Gas pipe or water pipe sys- te1ns may be used for grounds, the latter being more advisable.
 Lightning protection secured by grounding the antenna when not in use is essential and is re- quired by the underwriters.
