RADIO
USE OF CHOKE COIL
AND TRANSFORM RS
Latter Provide the Most PraC-
tiCaI Method of Coupling
for the Amateur.

Figure XXVIII shows the actual
circuit Of a three-stage resistance
coupled amplifier. The output of such
circuit is X times X times X the input
or assuming the amplifcation factor
of each tube to be TO- the output would
be 1000 times the input. The resist
ance Il is the coupling resistance
whose function it is to transform the
plate current variation to pOtcrtial
drops to be applied to the grid of the
next tube.
The capacity G is simply means
of allowing the potential variations
across the coupling resistance r to
be applied to the grid of the next tube,
yet not allowing the "B" battery ap-
piled to the plate circuit of a tube to
be applied to the grid of the next.
Because of using the condenser to,
what one might say, tnsulate the grid
from the "B" battery potential, it is
necessary to use a grid leak, to keep
the charge which collects on the grid
from becoming excessive and reducing
the plate current to zero.
One of the chief disadvantages of
the resistance coupled amplitier is
that very high plate battery pOten-

assigned for maximum power ampli-
fication, while at the same time the
ratio of the transformer must be such
as to deliver maximum potential to
the grid circuit of the next tube.
The greatest advantages of the
transformer method of coupling audiO
frequency amplifiers are the high de-
gree of application, the relative
simplicity of operation, and the low
plate voltage required.
Chief among the disadvantages of
the transformer coupled frequency
amplifier is noise. Also the trans
formers amplify different frequencies
to different degrees, which means
that when this type of coupling is
used for radiOphone reception, the
voice is distorted by the simplifying
transformers. However, from a prac.
teal standpoint, the average amateur
will have better results using trans
former coupled audiO frequency ampli-
tiers than from any other method that
can be used with the tubes and equip
ment now available.

rising enthusiastically.
Half a minute later the motion was
declared carried unanimously, and the
shareholders clustered about Wilton.
His eyes were fixed upon the door, and
he was listening for something.

handing.
Then the door opened quietly, and a
girl stood in the entrance. She
looked hardly more than a child. She

blue eyes We're REDEEMED and tear

"Joes dead!" she cried. "Will-oh,

A loud cry broke from Phayre. His
face was transformed; his lips were
working with rage.
You heard that?" he shouted con-
vulsively. "You heard it? Joe Bos-

a put-up scheme! We've been tricked
into voting confidence in him, and he's

The shareholders stared at him. His
face was purple, and he seemed near
apoplexy.
"Joe Bostock's dead" he raved.
"And until letters of administration Of

power of attorney is worth no more

reception on short waves by the super

On the other side of the Atlantic the
British amateurs, restricted in their
hobby by ultra-conservative government
regulations, have turned their atten-
ton solely to radiO-frequency ampli-
fication. This has given excellent re-
suits on all long and medium wave
lengths, but its success on shorter wave
lengths has depended solely upon rne
expert handling of the operator, who
has been compelled to use tuned
coupling circuits between each Of the
radio-frequenCy vacuum tubes.
1t is too early yet to tell which Of
the two systems will ultimately tri-
umph, but there is no doubt that the
laurels at the present moment rest
upon the American amateurs through
the latest achievement of their leader,
Armstrong, in the production of the

ton per tube of a resistance-COupled
amplifier is not as high as it is for
some other methods but it is stable
and does not distort the input as
much as do some other methods used.
which give greater application pei
tube.
Resistance-coupled simplifying may
be used to amplify either radio or
audio frequency.
A method of Transforming the
change in plate current of a vacuum
tube to differences in potential is by
means of a choke coil A choke scoil
consists of a number of turns of wire
wound up in multilayer coil and
may or may not have an iron core. A
coil of this kind offers high I'M
pedance to the flow of alternating cur
rent, but has a relatively low direct
current resistance.
The choke coil on account of hav-
ing a low ohmc resistance, will have
a smaller method of coupling, so that
lower "B" battery potential can be
used on choke coil coupled amplifiers
and the batteries can be of smaller
capacity.
The choke coil not only has induct-
ance but certain amount Of distrib-
uted capacity. The distributed ca
pacity of the coil plus the capacity of
the plate with respect to the filament,
coil, give to the plate circuit a GER
tain definite period. That is, the plate
circuit is an oScillating circuit whose
resonant frequency is determined by
the total capacity and inductance in
the circuit.
If the choke coil be made variable,
It will not only serve to transform the
plate current variation with maximum
plate potential variations, but it wiz
also serve to tune out unwanted FIRE"
quencies. When the plate circuit OF
the amplifier is tuned, the resonant
frequency is amplfied X times, but all
other frequencies are amplifed to
less degree.
Another and by far the most
widely used method of coupling sue
cessive tubes in cascade amplifier is
by means of transformers. The trans
former method of coupling amplifier
tubes may be considered a develop
ment and refinement of the simpler
choke coil method. Coupling tubes
by means of properly designed trans
formers will give greater ampljf-
cation per tube than any of the other
methods.

"JOE'S DEAD"

SYNOPSIS. - Looking over Big
Muskeg, a seemingly impossible
swamp in the path of the Mssa-
tibi railroad, Joe Bostock, builder
of the line, and Wilton Carruthers,
chief of engineers, are considering
the difficulties. A rifle shot instant
ly kills Bostock and breaks Car
ruthers' arm. Carruthers tries to
carry the body to a post of the
Hudson's Bay company, where Nc
Donald is the factor. McDonald's
daughter, Molly, sees Carruthers
struggling in the muskeg and drags
him from the swamp, with his bur
den. UnaCcOuntably, her father
objects to her saving Carruthers.
Weakened by his wound and eXer-
tons, CarrutherS is disturbed by
the appearance of Tom Bowyer,
BostoCk's business rival and per-
sonal enemy. Bowyer insults Mol
ly, and Carruthers strikes him.
Carruthers declares his love for
Molly. She promises to be his wife.
Carruthers has to reach the town
of Clayton to attend a meeting at
which BostoCk's enemies plan to
wrest control of the Missatibi from
him. Molly goes with him. They
are delayed by a storm. Attacked
by his dogs, Carruthers' life is
saved by Molly, who is forced to
kill the animals. THE snow, the
