Drill two holes in the upper spring

The position Of the slot for the tube

1t is hardly necessary to state that
tone quality, selectivity and relief from
static are attained to II greater de-
gree with three-tuned circuits than with
tn simpler arrangements, and the adj
ditlon of means for coupling the grid
and pate circuits provides stability and
ease in tuning which are sometimes
difficult to obtain in the conventional
~three-corcuit tuner. OF course, consld-
erably more time is consumed in tun-
ing the three-circuit set when first
put in operation, but this has never
been a serious matter if results could
later be duplicated using the same adj
justment for the same stations. This
has been found possible with the set
stabilized by direct feed-back coupling,
while the ordinary three-circuit tuner
adjustments for good phone reception
vary from day to day.
Early Methods
The first means of coupling which
was devised consisted in splitting up
the plate yariometer stator. winding
into two halves. One half was left in
the plate circuit and the other con
nected in series with the secondary of
the variocoupler and grid variometer.
The operation Of the set connected in
this way proved that the cupling pro-
vided was a decided stabilizer-or, in
otba, rvorIc thot $ha iIna 1rec Cpnl
Stations were tuned in with practically
the same adjustments day after day;
the set remained in operation without
further adjustment for as long as de-
sired, and the tone quality was equal
to the best results obtained with the
usual connections.
Two of the broadcasting stations
regularly heard, however. and many
familiar amateur G. w. stations could
not be heard. These stations were all
brought back by changing to the ar
rangement shown in the accompanying
diagram, where a separate coupler is
used for grid-plate coupling and the
plate ~variometer left intact. The cou-
pier used was made up or the com
mon variocoupler forms with 30 turns
of No. % cotton-covered wire on both
stator and rotor. The stator is in the
grid circuit and the rotor in series with
the plate yariometer. / consider the

alive receivers, barring the refine

could well be introduced, and I be
lieye others will find it so until they

The coupler used in this set is 3h
inches in diameter and the stator is 4
inches long, but it is obvious that
slight changes in dimensions and wind
ing will not affect the results obtained,
as both circuits concerned are sep
arately tuned.-(C) 1922, Radio News,
