To Use Odd Parts
for Loud Speaker
Sections From Automobile
May Be Utilized in
Construction.

This l%oud-talker, with a single pole
and a field coil taking one-half ampere
at six volts, is very easily built from
odd parts and with very few tools.
The core Of the field magnet is made
from a section of an automobile rear
axle and is wound with four pounds of
No. 20 d. G. c. wire. Fiber ends three
sixteenths of an inch thick are provid-
ed for the core, as shown. A "U"-
shaped bar of wrought iron, with the
dimensions as shown, is used as the
supporting medium.
The lower end of the core is fastened
thereto, and a ring, made from an au-
tomobile rear hub, is attached to the
top by mean of two machine screws.
Two pieces are turned up from hard
wood, as shown, to be used for holding
the diaphragm. The latter is composed
of sheet aluminium OILS of an inch
thick, and to the center is fastened a
brass tube 1892 Of an inch inside diam
eter by half an inch long by means OF
a small brass machine screw.
The walls of this tube are .01O of an
inch thick. This tube is wound with
48 feet of No. SO enameled wire, and
leads are brought out therefrom to be
connected to the secondary of the step
down transformer. Before assembling
a cardboard tube is slipped over the
field winding for protection. The en-
tire unit is mounted upon a piece of
hard rubber. which in turn is mounted
on a wooden base. A single pole, sin
gle throw switch is also mounted on

An automobile coil was used for the
step-down transformer, the secondary

Use Circuit Receiver
With Dry Cell Tube

A large number of regenerative re-
ceivers suggested from time to time
are single circuit arrangements of a
more or less freak nature. They all
depend upon the same principle Of
transferring energy from the plate cir
cult of a three-electrode acuum tube
to the grid circuit. This transference
of energy may be accomplished in a
large variety of ways, and between the
various methods there is very little to
choose. 1t is because of this fact that
the circuit using regeneration is to be
preferred.
Effective action may always be pre-
dicted beforehand and the tuning may
be adjusted for best results. In other
