Wiring Diagram of Principal Types of Jacks.

Because telephone jacks are widely
used in many kinds of radio sets, the
radio fan would do well to familiarize
himself with the various types. There
are five different styles, and as many
as three Of them are used in the same
receiver.
The jack most commonly employed
is the double circuit. 1t is placed be-
tween the successive steps of audio
frequency amplifiers, and when the
telephone plug is removed from it the
next tube is automatically connected.
The double circuit jack has four
springs, which are insulated from each
other and from the frame. Normally,
with no plug in it, the inner springs
press against the outer ones. In the
better jacks silver tips are used at the
point of contact. When the phone plug
Is inserted the inner leaves are olsen
gagged and the tip of the plug makes
connection with the lower outer spring,
while the sleeve touches the upper
outer one. The single closed-circuit
jack has only one outer and one inner
spring. The tip Of the plug touches

be taken in it's construction to keep
the resistance at low value, otherwise
the sharpness of tuning of the trap will
be adversely affected and the signal
strength will be leSsened.
The size Of the coil depends on the
waves to be eliminated. Thus for 200
meter trapping a 35-turn coil will
be found most effective, while for ex-
GLIDING 360-meter stations a 75-turn
coil is necessary. The variable con-
denser should have an approximate
capacity of .OO1 microfarads, which is
the general equivalent of 43-plate
condenser.
The manipulation of wave traps Is as
simple as their construction. If while
listening to a 360-meter station inter-
ference is noted from 300-meter sta
ton the short clrcuiting switch on the
trap Is opened. Then the condenser is
turned until the interfering signal dis
appears. Once this is done it will be
necessary to retune the receiver, as the
characteristics have been considerably
altered by the adjustment of the tuned
circuit in the aerial wire.
