number of turns, the set may be

yarious lengths. The ease with which
this form of apparatus may be con-
structed and its simplicity of opera

spread use.
THE DETECTOR
The detector in the circuit of a ra-
do receiver performs the important
function of converting the energy of
the radio frequent oscillations, inter
cepted by the antenna, into uni-direc-
tional pulsating currents which may
be rendered audible by the receiving
telephones.
Certain types of minerals, such as
galena, carborundum, silicon and 9TH
ers, possess the valuable property of
rectifcation. These crystal detectors
are more or less difficult to maintain
in sensitive adjustment. The vacuum
tube possesses valuable properties not
only in the detection. but also in the
generation and amplifcation of radio
currents.
TUNING
runinG is the process of obtaining
electrical resonance. An electromac--
netic wave, radiated from transmit
ter aerial. will induce radio-frequent
oscillations of maximum amplitude in
receiving circuit provided that the
receiving aerial is electrically tuned
to the frequency of the radiated wave.
Tuning to a radiated wave is accom-
plished by adjusting the variable ele-
ments of inductance and capacity in
the inductively. conductively. or ca
pacitively coupled ciruits Of the radio
receiver.
In order to receive signals Of maxi
mum intensity, the open and closed cir
cults must be accurately tuned to each
other and to. the frequency of the
radiated wave.

RECEIVING CIRCUITS

RECEIVING CIRCUITS
BY the use of conventional SYM
bols, representing various pieces OF
radio equipment, drawings may be de-
veloped in which the pieces of appa-
ratus and assembled and joined by con-
Meeting lines, representing wires, with
the result that the proper relation OF
each piece to the others is clearly
shown. For example, by means OF
connecting a few of these symbols,
simple receiving circuits, both m
ductively and conductively related,
containing a crystal for vacuum tube
detector may be easily portrayed.
REACTANCE AND IMPEDANCE
When an alternating current flows
in a coil of wire, it encounters an OPP
posing force due to self-induction.
This retarding factor due to induct-
ance is known as inductance reactance
and when combined wit hthe ohmic re-
sistance of the circuit the resultant
effect is known rs Importance. A con-
denser placed in the circuit develops
a counter electromotive forte and this
opposition to the flow of current is
termed capacity reactance. impe-
dance in circuit, therefore is the
resultant effect of combining either
inductance reactance or capacity re-
actance or both with the ohmic resis-
lance of the circuit. Inductance reac-
lance and capacity reactance have OPP
posita effects and if their values are
so adjusted as to neutralize each 9TH
er. the condition existing is known as
electrical resonance which is very
important feature in radio transmit
ting and receiving circuits.

table contact used in conjunction with
an aerial detector and receiving tele-
phones is one of the simplest radio re-
