In Figure XXXVI the tube was made
self exciting by coupling an inductance
@ connected In the grid circuit to l.,
an inductance in the tune plate circuit.
A development Of this circuit Is shown
In Figure XXXTX.
Here the energy, instead Of being
directly coupled from the plate to the
grid circuit, is first necessary to an
intermediate circuit, MN, and then to
the grid circuit. 1t is necessary Of
course, that the circuit KY and MN
have the same natural period, that is
to say, they must be tuned to the same
frequency. II the frequency is rela-
lively high, the condenser G can be
dispensed with, and the capacity Of the
plate to filament used as portion of
the oscillation plate circuit.
The circuit as shown In Fig. XXNIX
Is inherently the circuit used in low
power undamped or continuous wave
radio telegraph transmitters. BY sub
stltutlng in the osclllating circuit MN
the capacity of an antenna with re-
spect to the ground, we have the con
tinuous transmltter shown in Fig. Nj.
BY placing key in the "B" or plate
battery to turn the plate battery OFF
and on the start and stop, the tube os-
cillating dots and dashes can be sent
out by varying the coupling between
the grid and plate coils and l. and
the antenna circuit, the transmltter is
adjusted for maximum power output.
To adjust the wave length the value of
the antenna inductance Is varied.

The citation Of Lieutenant Gum

heroism while serving as sergeant
with the One Hundred Thirty-second
infantry In the Bois de Forges Sep.

Advancing under hostile machine
gun fire, Gumpertz killed two German
gunners with pistol fire and the re-
naming II members of the crew sur
rendered. About thirty minutes after
this exploit the platoon was again held
up by German machine gun nests.
Volunteers were asked for to silence
the guns. Gumpertz, corporal and a
private volunteered and the trio ad-
vanced in single file.
EncOuntering the enemys harrage,
the two companions Of Gumpertz were
killed by a shell, but Gumpertz con.
tinued to advance alone on the nest by
the flank and located II. lie then
threw into it n Mills hand grenade and
killed and wounded several members
of the crew. The remaining 10 mem
bers surrendered themselves and the
two heavy-type machine guns. The
action Of Sergeant Gumpertz enabled
his unit to continue the advance.

COUPLING CONTROLS
THE OSCILLATIONS
How the Vacuum Tube Radio
Receiver Can Be Made
Regenerative.

If II were not for the bends In the
characteristic curve, the three-elec-
trode vacuum tube could not be made
to produce oscillations of constant am
plitude when self excited. 1t Is easily
seen that IL the Characteristic curve
were straight line, the operation of
the tube would be so unstable as to
render the tube useless as an oscllla-
tion generator. A third condition of
relative values Of potential variations
can exist, that Is, when the grid cir
uit potential variations are less than
the potential variations existing In the
tuned circuit between the points Y and
Y. When this condition exists, the
oscillations in the tuned circuit cannot
be maintained but the decrease in am
plltude In the tuned circuit oscillations
will reduce the grid excitation, and the
tube will finally cease to oscillate.
Thus the coupling that exists be-
tween the plate circuit through the
tuned circuit inductance l. and the
grid circuit through the inductance l.,
control the conditions that will or will
not cause the tube to act as a gener-
ator of undamped oscillations.
Suppose that the coupling existing
between the two coils L and | Is such
that the tube Is generating oscillations.
If the coupling be reduced, that is If
the coils be moved farther apart it will
require greater and greater variations
in potential in the coil L to maintain
the same variations in the coil |. This
weakening of the plate to grid coupling
causes stronger oscillations in the
