:. Answer-The problem that you out
lined In your letter Is q rather difficult
one to explain. Perhaps it can best
be outlined In the following manner:
voice currents along with them
through the ether are received on the
aerial and then passed to the .detector
tube. The action Of the detector tubo
is to rectify these currents, and the
output from the tube Is pulsating
current, flowing In one direction only.
This, of course, normally goes through
the telephones and actuates them.
When we come to amplification, how
ever, thls puisating current Is passed
through the primary Of the first trans
former and naturally Is at audible
frequencies. Since wa can oily get

terrupted currents the output Of the
secondary of the transformer will be

quency. The secondary TO all intents
and purposes does not know that there
Is such a thing as direct curent flow
inging through the primary. The
transformation takes place each time
there is a change or break in the
steady flow Of current through the
primary. Tho secondary, Of course,
has alternating current only in Its cir
cult. This is passed along to the first
amplifying tube, and the output from
this tube (due to Its normal action) Is
again q pulsating current, greatly
The same process, Of
course, takes place In the next step.
In the transmission Of the voice, at
the broadcasting station, this amplify-
Ing faction takes place in the same
manner before the voice currents are
passed through the modulator tubea.
