Answer. Yes. 2. A vernier adjust
ment Is absolutely imperative in a re-

Is known as the zero beat adjustment
for the reception Of radio telephony
This is the adjustment at the point
where there is no self-heterodyning in
your act, or between the set itself and
the carrier Of the transmitting station
It is the point &here the music is
purest and freest from distortion, and
can be obtained only by very minute
adjustment.
3. The big transatlantic and some
of the Pacific stations operate on wave
lengths Of $4,000 and 10000 meters
OR-hand, some of them are Annapolis,
Nd; Eilvese, Germany; Lyons, France;
Bordeaux, France; 1uckerton, N. j.;
Radio Central, on Long Island, and St.
Assize, France, OF these ststisns the
ono with the longest wave length ~
bordeaux, France, which transmits ON
23,400 meters.

strength Of the signals and the amount
of power used in the transmitting sta
tion at Burlington.
g. No more than possible under the
existing conditions. They should be as
much at right angles as you can possi-
bly, get them.
Q. The amplifying transformers can
be fairly close, provided they are set at
right angles TO each other.
z. The vario-meters and vario coupler
can be close to each other in the eabi-
net, provided that you shield them
from each other. BY this is meant
metallic shields connected to tho
ground, which are free and clear of
the apparatus and it's connections.

eluesttonIn regard TO the super hetero-
dyne. t) How doea 1t compare with the
as far as results are
concerned? ca Are the two detector
tubes UV-200s Or 20is? t3p IL Nv COOS,
should not 22ia yots be used on the plate
instead Of Sob. c.
Answer - The uper-heterodyne is
about equal to the super-regenerhtiye,
but the operation of the two circuits
is entirely different. The super-rcgen-
erative receiver is suitable chiefly for
music reception and cannot be used
with an aerial. The super-heterodyne
can be used with an aerial and is ex-
tremely good for continuous-wave tele-
graph reception on short waves. al
though it also can be used for longer
wave reception, 1t also is excellent for
radiophone reception. The two de-
tector tubes can be zoos, but ! always
recommend 20ls for detectors. ] am
convinced that hard tubes give much
better results. IL zoos are used volt
age should be 22ls or less.
New-York tribune., 1922-08-27

also because OF the fact that the
vacuum tubo Itself is such a peculiar
instrument, and although 1t is pro-
dueed in standard form upon guam
tity production basis, nevertheless
there are no two tubes with identical
characteristics. This is particularly
true Of the capacity effect OF the tube,
which is very important factor at
the very high frequencies involved In
short wave work. Under the circum@
stances, therefore, radio-frequency
transformer which will operate quite
satisfactorily with one particular tubc
is absolutely hopeless when q diferont
tube is put into the socket. There
isn't any ,qucstion about the ability OF
radio-fregusney amplifcation TO in
crease the distance over which you can
receive with your present equipment.
provifrd that you arc, lucky enough
TO get tuacs and transformers that alb
solutely match each other. 1t might
not be bad idea TO start off with one
stage Of radio-freQuency amplification
attached to your present set and ex-
periisent with it until you become
thoroughly acquainted with its opera
tion. 1t will be absolutely necessary
to use a potentiometer In order to
stabilize the radie-frcauency section Of
your set in this case.

Using Farm Lighting Plant

Question-~we have a s2-volt farm light
ing. plant here. Would ] be able to cut
use three batteries, each giving 3 volte,
but would have to ran two extra wires.
ought to be ase TO sTS 1t sown yoa fo Nnos
Of any was this can be done, taking OF
from the main line, please lot me Know,
IS. c. y.
Answer---It will be quite feasible for
you to use the 80 volt lighting plant
for your radio receiving equipment.
In order to light the filaments of your
vacuum tubes ii will be necessary to
take two leads from three Of the cells,
so that you get & volts on the fiiament.
You can use the entire SO volt battery
for the plate circuit, taking care, o.
course, that the positive lead from the
battery is connected to the plate of
your vacuum tubes. The only trouble
that you will experience with this bat
terry is during the period Of charging,
when you may get ripple from the
charging dynamo.
ouestion.--u) How can improve my
primary tuning coil7 II has lse turns
crease the wave length. or would have
to use tbs two loading coils which you
speak OF IN the issue Of July az y 50; 2;
j increased my antenna TO rs feet would
get better results? te) Who are the
following; aces, ssA9JJ' 2Lr' axAK'
Answer think taht you will be
able to improve your tuning facilities
by taking single taps off the first ten
turns of your inductance coil, and join
ing these taps to separate inductance
switch. This will give you closer tun~
ing facilities.
The series parallel switch, with your
large aerial tuning inductance, should
be quite sufficient to bring in WEP
at 1850 meters. 1t may be necessary,
however, to load up the ticker coil by
adding another 100 turns in series
with it for WyP. This, Of course.
will not be necessary for the $50 meter
atation. No other loading is neces~
sary, so far as | can see.
If you Increased your antenna to l2o
feet, think that you would get slight
ly better results.
