Questions and Answers

o. What is the proper color of
the filament Of the vacuum tube to
operate best and what is the test
II Is operating7 X. L.
A. The proper degree of bril-
liancy depends On the make of
tube. and is usually explained in
instructions accompanying IT. On
some instruments the A battery
rheostat is turned on full, on
others directions are to watch for
a bright red glow. 1t will undoubt
eddy occur soon in radio that the
regulations of tubes by filament
glow will be displaced by methods
for measuring filament voltage.
This change took place some years
ago in power plant voltage regula-
tions. The same will undoubtedly
be practiced generally in radio.
This method is more accurate and
because of the graduated scale will
reduce errors common when differ
ent persons watch the filament of
the tube. A question, asked recent
ly as to the life of a vacuum tube
is likewise answered here. Burned
out filaments will result only from
very careless operations of the set

A. Crystals described as NAA
tested are crystals which the
manufacturers have copied NAA on.
The crystals are not tested at NINA.

Radio Requires
Extra Insulation
Materials Used in Wire In.
struments Not Always
Effective.

Electricity has never been de-
fined. What It will or will not do
Is the most that is known of 1t. In
radio as In other electrical work
It Is true that no known substance
can completely obstruct the passage
OF electricity nor will any sub
stance allow the passage of cleo
tricity without offering some re-
sistance.
Radio employs currents of ex-
tremeiy high frequency. FOR pro-
lection where needed against the
serious effects Of contact with such
currents insulation Is used. No
perfect insulating material having
been discovered as yet, there are
many products on the market
which are to varying degrees non
conducting to these high frequency
currents.
The lightning switch or arrester,
with which every radio set must
be equipped and which must serve
as protection to both set and house
thc hohNhSr btops
high frequency currents by fore
ing them across air or gas gaps
which are good insulators or
through a high resistance material,
such as porcelain.
Electricity In spite of its ability
ITO flow over any substance will
nevertheless invariably follow the
path of least resistance; hence
where IT Is strongest, means are
provided for enticing It along wires
and large surfaces OF low resistance
where its current will be dissipated
without injury to anyone.
There are on the market a great
variety of products supposedly OF
a high insulating material. Bear IN
mind, when buying. that an in
sulator which may normally with
stand the usual 60-cycle lighting
current at extremely high voltage
would break down under a much
smaller voltage employing radio
frequency currents.
A poor insulator may then be.
come the opposite of what II II
supposed to be. namely goot
conductor. Slate. marble. fibre and
porcelain are insulating materials
There are on the market as in
sulators a great variety of pheno
products. phenol being a coal tai
derivative. In preparing insulatio,
the trade names Bakelite, Bakelite.
Dilecto, Micarta and Celeron ar,
used. Insulating parts such a,
panels, wire castings and knobs are
made by impregnating Illuminated
Z e. hi
stances. Much is claimed fol-
phenol products as Insulating ma
terial. A safe rule Is to note tn,
material recommended by the bes'
dealers in your community.
