on the movable arm; brass screws
should be used in all places. as iron
screws would have some effect on the
working of the coils.
Instead of using n base, the arms
can be mounted directly on top of a
cabinet, and the knob allowed to pro-
ject over the panel, which makes a
convenient position for operating. If
it is desired 10 use three coils instead
of two. it is only necessary to add an
other movable arm. The stationary
coil should be left in the center. Flex-
ible leads must be used on the movable
coils and these should be soldered 10
the contacts. The knob for adjusting
the coupling is not absolutely neces-
sary. except in certain hook-ups where
the hands Of the operator must have &
.capacity effect.-Radio News.

ton which is equipped with these coils
will be able to receive from all sta
tons. no matter what the wave-length
may be. The shortest or the longest
wave may be received on the same
set.
The tuning is all done by variable
~condensers or variometers, according
TO the circuit used.
Winding the Coil
The amateur car easily wind these
coils for himself by following the di-
rections here given. Also the manner
of mounting here described, is | think
much simpler and neater than that
which is generally use1.
Procure some good cardboard tubing
which is two inches, inside diameter.
AS the coils are to be n inch wide.
the tubing should be cut in sections
Of that width.
Have a block turned to fit this
tubing nicely. If it is not possible to
have it turned. it may be whitfield.
Place one of your tubes on this and
mark two lines at the edge of the
tubing. These lines are then marked
off evenly with a compass into %
spaces, then small brads should be
lightly driven on these lines on the
spaces.
Before the tube is placed on the
block. however. the contact strips
should be placed on the tube. These
are merely strips of thin brass or
copper about one-fourth inch wide. It
should be clinched on tightly, as shown

Here Is a Practical Crystal Detector
Stand, Utilizing a C%Iothespin as
an Adjusting Arm

In the center of the base secure an
o-32 inch machine screw. eountersink-
ing the bottom of the base so that the
head of the screw will not protrude
Mount the swivel and pin on this
screw with ii wing nut at the top. The
wing nut provides the requisite pres
sure. while the swivel and large hole
provide movement in the other two di-
reetions. The crystal holder is made
from a small strip Of brass, to which
the head of a paper fastener is solder
ed. BY bending the fastener as shown
any size crystal may be used. The
cat-whisker is soldered to a small
metal strip at the point of the clothes
pin. A No. 2S wire was used. This
detector stand has proved satisfactory
and there are no complicated parts.

Cam Cultivate Love
Of Opera Until You
Hear Same One Often

The Friends of Opera crowded Mrs.
Observation-Disclosures drawing
ooms in Chicago recently to hear
Maestro Polaceo of the Chicago Civic
Opera company speak on Opera
Maestro Polacco deplored the fact that
C~hicagoans demand such Il variety of
opera during each season. saying that
last year in Milan only nine different
operas were given during n season of
six months. whereas Chicagoans often
have 81 operas in 10 weeks, He said
TINT a real love Of opera could be
cultivated only by hearing the same
opera many times.

HELPFUL IDEAS
FROM AMATEURS
DETECTOR

The following suggestion is another
example Of how the radio fan may
produce much from little: Secure a
fairly smooth. dry clothespin and cut
n leg off as indicated to allow for
movement of the cat-whisker. Drill Il
one-quarter inch hole in both legs to
permit clearance of the adjusting
screw. TO the leg which has been
partly cut off glue a piece of wood
three-quarters of an inch square and
one inch high. This small block also
is bored with a quarterback hole and
is SO placed that the holes in the pin
and the hole in the block coincide.

1900 meters. Other wave-lengths can
be estimated from these figures.
The wave length will depend consid-
erably upon the size of aerial used,
also the capacity of the eondensers.
The variable condenser on the primary
should be of .0015 NJ. +. and should
be arranged with a switch so it can be
connected either in series or parallel.
The secondary variable condenser
should be of .O01 NJ. L.
After the coils are wound, a cover
strip will improve the appearance. This
is made from thin fiber board bnt
cardboard can be used. \ row of
diamond shaped holes should be cut
along the center of the strip. The
strip is then glued on and wrapped
with twine until the glue has set. The
wIuding will project slightly oyer the
edge of the tubing so the cover strip
should be made slightly wider than .he
tube. Altar the ctvar is glued on and
set. remove the t'gine and smooth the
joint in the cover with eardpaper. The

alcohol .-........4 pint
Castor oil tby weight II ounce
Solution cotton ........2 ounces
Add chemicals in order given. soluble
cotton being last. Allow to stand l.
hours and strain through c~heesecIoth,
After the coil has been dipped and is
dry. the varnish should be scraped
from the contacts and they should
always be kept clean and bright. 1t is
a good idea to mark each coil with the
number of turns before vanishing.
The Coil Mounting
The mounting for these coils, some
times called the mechanical coupler. is
quite simple, as will be seen from the
drawing. One coil is mounted station
AIRY while the other is movable for the
coupling. The round blocks should be
turned same size as the block used in
winding. The contacts are thin spring
brass. 4 slot is cut in the side OF the
block and the contact fastened with a
small screw and bent back over the
screw after the lead wire has been SOL
dered. 1t should be quite springy and
project slightly from the block, which
will insure good contact when the coil
is slipped in place. BY making the con
an inch or more long, they Will
always be in contact with the coil even
if it be turned one way or the other
in placing it on the block.
The dimensions of the arms need not
be exactly as given, but should be long
enough 10 allow the larger coils to be
used, An ordinary brass hinge is used
