VACUUM TUBE USED
AS RADIO DETECTOR
How This Device Depends on
Emission and Control of
Elections for Its Operation.

Readers of the radio column are
urged to clip each article and paste
1t IN a file book. The articles print
ed are continuous and the entire
series wiU be valuable for reference.
The greatest advances made in the
past few years in the radio art have
been due in one way or another TO
the use of vacuum tubes. In view Of
this fact a more careful consideration
of them will be of interest.
All of these tubes, known by va
riety of names, such as radi0tron, au-
dion, seriotron Grade names of the
manufacturer) depend upon the same
fundamental principles for their OPP
GRAFTON. For the sake Of simplicity
Of brevity these will be referred to in
this column simply as vacuum tubes.
A vacuum tube can be made to func-
ton as detector, as an amplifier, or
as an oScillatOr.
The vacuum tube depends on the
emission and control of electrOnS for
it's operation. The electrOn is the
smallest subdivision of matter which
mankind recognizes and it carries the
smallest known charge of negative
electricity. For years previous to
electrOn research it had been held by
scientists that matter was built up Of
distinct particles or units which they
called atoms and molecules. At first
the molecule was assumed to be the
smallest quantity of matter that could
have Il separate existence or take
part in chemical action, but more Wig
orOus research pointed to the fact that
the mOlecule is made up of still small
er elements which are termed atoms ;
that is, Il molecuIe may be composed
Of several atoms. Then for Il time it
was assumed that the atom was the
very smallest quantity Of an element
that could exist, but later researches
have revealed that atoms may be
further subdivided into particles

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 1t.
Apparatus used for the recep-
ton 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 it lessons the amount of
ObjectiOnal interference in the
way of static. 1t Is equally as
good as a multiple wire system
for reception.
Defective "B" batteries will
often cause roaring in the tele-
phone receivers.
The electrOn often talked
about is the smallest known
quantity of negative electrical
energy. In motion 1t makes up
the electric current.
A soft" vacuum tube is used
as a deteetOr 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 rs light, namely
10000 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-
tens 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.

HANDLING Vacuum Tubes.

When you handle the vacuum tubes
of your receiver great care should be
exercised that they are not knocked
about or that the elements are broken
These little lamps are the heart and
soul of the set. A good way to OPP
crate these tubes is to keep the glow
just a little below the critical point.
