How to Lengthen Life
of Your B Batteries

The amount of service you will OBJ
tain from B battery depends to a
great extent on the care you give It..
The following pointers will assist in
securing the maximum number Of
hours Of useful life from the battery !:
Do not subject your B battery to
high temperatures. Handle 1t care
fully. You may ruin your B battery
by dropping 1t on the floor, as this
may break some Of the internal con-
nectiOns.
Do not short circuit your battery,
even momentarlly.0 A short circuit Of
only a few moments duration will
drain considerable proportion of the
total energy out Of the B battery. For
this reason II you wish to test the
battery use high-grade voltmeter,
and never an ammeter. Volunteers
are high resistance Instruments, and
give good Indication of the condi-
tion of the battery without drawing
excessive currents from It,. Ammeters
are low resistance instruments, and
when placed across the terminals of
the battery practically short-circu!t 1t.

the fan can at least rig up substi-

Expensive stranded, or ribbon wire
is desirable for use on a loop, and II
the experimenter will go to garage
he can get an old magnetic field coll
for little or nothing. On this field Is
wound about 200 inches Of copper rib
bon wire, one-fourth inch wide, in 10
foot lengths. This kind Of wire is said
to be far superior to ordinary wire
for aerial purposes. owing to the in
creased surface 1t gives to the flow
Of the radio frequency currents.
Ribbon wire may also be used to
shield panels, connect up your set, and
short pieces may be used as connect
ing links. or battery connectors
therefore, roll Of 1t should prove a
valuable addition to the radio expert

would like to present a novel
means for tuned impedance control, for

Some of the readers may be dubious
about the practicnbility of this "stunt,"
due to the fact that both tuned i'm
