Of Interest TO Fans the
World over.

Doctor Stelnmetz. who is an author

Question: Doctor Steinmetz, many OF
us have amateur radio receiving sets
I'm our homes. We have heard rumors
that the underwriters consider that
there is a fire hazard because of the
antenna and the ground connections,
and that certain restrictions may be
placed on amateur installations. We
would like to have your opinion as TO
the real hazard involved.
Answer: There Is no hazard in the
amateur radio receiving stations. II In

BEST SOURCES OF
FILAMENT CURRENT
Storage Battery in Conjunction
With a Rectifier Forms the
Ideal Power Supply.

When the filament current OF a
vacuum tube is adjusted at normal
rated value a small change in fila
ment current viii cause a large
change in the plate current. Suppose
a certain tube Is used in a regenera-
tive receiver circuit. Not only does
a variation in filament current
change the plate current and cause a
sound In the telephone receivers. but
the plate lmpedance Is changed, and
the energy fed back 10 the grid cir
cult is changed. which causes the vari-
atoms In plate current to be ampll-
fed.
In order, then, 10 maintain the plate
lmpedance constant and also TO re
duce tube noises 10 a minimum. es-
pecially IL the receiver is used for
radiophone reception, the ideal source
of filament current should be at a
constant potential. A storage battery
represents the best source Of constant
potential for filament current supply.
For those who have alternating cur
rent available and want the best re-
suits. storage battery In commune
zion with a rectlfier forms the ideal
power supply for the filaments OF the
tube. This is especially true II am
plifiers are used i'm conjunction with
the receiver. for any variations in fila
ment current causing noises In an am
plifier set win be ampllfied by the
successive tubes until the original
noises become veritahle roar.
II single tube is used for recep-
ton without amplifiers IL is possible

denser. Il Is not only possible TO tune
finely, but also. by changing the ratio
of capacity 10 inductance used 10 re-
ceiye the same signal. the sharpness OF
tuning can be varied.
The grid circuit Of the tube Is
coupled 10 the antenna circuit by
means OF a few turns Of wire on the
rotor of the variO-cOupler. The tun
ing of the circuit is accomplished by
means Of the grid variometer. The
grid condenser is the grid with respect
to the filament, so that the only Gu
pacity In Shunt with the inductance
in the grid circuit Is that between the
grid and filament I'm the tube. The
shunt capacity gives the greatest in
ductance with a very small value OF
voltage variation on the grid for a
given signal in the antenna. Since
a vacuum tube depends for its opera
ton on the amplitude Of the voltage
applied to the grid " Is desirable to
use only very small values Of shunt
capacity In the grid circuit. especially
on short waves.
