How to Make and Use II

For those who wish a more power
full and efficient set for sending this Is
to be highly recommended. Under
favorable conditions it should have a
range of from % to 40 miles. More
over, 1t is not an expensive set to make
and, exclusive of batteries, should not
cost over $500 to $500. The
diagram as given In Fig. 90, makes
the wiring very plain, A being the
aerial, b the ground, G the ammeter,
d the inductance, e the variable con-
denser, f the fixed condenser. G the
grid-leak, ii the meditation transform
er, X the grid, L the plate. NJ the
rheostat, n the choke-coil, o the recti-
fer, 2 the current transformer.
Although practically every part of
this set can be made, with the ex-
ception Of the sammeter, rheostat,
~microphone. and modulatlon trans
former coil, still II Is almost as cheap
and much more satisfactory to pur-
chase the current transformer, the
variable condenser and the choke-coil.

but with only eight turns. The space
between wlndings or turns should be
about one-half inch. The choke-eoil
may be purchased as such. but an
ordinary spark coil-using the second
airy winding-may be used and an old
Ford spark coll with contact-breaker
screwed down may be used for the
meditation transformer. The am
meter used should be one of low read

3 volt iashllght bulb may be used In

part TO make Is the current rectifier.
but even this is very simple and
consists merely OF eight pint fruit
jars filed with a solution Of ordinary
borax In the proportion OF half a
pound Of borax to ten pints Of water.
In filling the jars avoid having any
undIssolved borax or sediment In
them, and fill only about three-fourths
full. The plates consist of alternate
lead and aluminium strips, eight Of
and with each plate 8 x Y inches.
With this rectifer and the current
transformer L. an ordinary 10 volt,
90 cycle electric current may be used,
or without these, two or three B-bat-
teries may be used instead, but this
Is far more expensive and does not
give as good results. Before using
this outfit the rectiier must be treated

plished by connecting an ordinary 30
watt incandeseent bulb and letting
the 40 volt current run through IL
for ten or twelve hours.
