neater and better insulated panel. AT
the left is the dial controlling the
~variocoupler, while at the right is the
dial for the variable condenser. There
are two switches between the dials,
the upper one Is for the coupler and
the lower one for the loading coil.
Fig. 4 shows the arrangement of
the back of the panel, the way In
which the set Is laid out. Since every
builder will use parts different in
size, no dimensions are given for the
panel or cabinet. This may be worked
out easily.
Operation Of the Set.
The next ana very important point
to consider Is that Of operating the set.
A good receiver is worth little to its
owner If he knows nothing about op-
Grating 1t. The kind Of tubes Cor
bulbs or audions or ~detectors) to use
with this set are the soft tubes, such
as the double flament audiotrons, the
radiotrons, and Moorhead electron re-
lay tubes. The last named tube is
the best, but it has a very critical
adjustment. The radiotron, while not
bringing in distant signals as well, is
easier to operate. When working a
set, always adjust the plate voltage
and ilament rheostat carefully until
the set oscillates; this Is Indicated
when a click is heard In the phones.
The oscillating of the set described in
this article is controlled by the dials
Of the coupler and of the variable con-
denser. Also, the operator will find
that the coupler has a great effect on
the strength Of the received signals.
Success will be attained If the fore
going specifications are followed with
some degree of care. On n tube DEB
of Colorado, GEN Of California and
hundreds of Fights have been heard.
If a two-step amplifier is added to this
set, IT will bring in music which can
be heard at a great distance from the
phones.

is a grid condenser such as Is o. the
market today. G is a fixed condenser
of special construction. B Is the high
voltage battery and A the flament or
so-called storage battery. PHI desig-
mates the phones.
Construction of the Coupler.
The coupler used In this set is a
sort of v~ariocoupler and Is OF very
simple construction. The primary is
made from a cardboard or formica
tube Az inches in diameter by 215
inches In length. If a cardboard tube
Is used, it should be shellacked well
(before winding on the wire) to pre-
ven it from shrinking 81 turns of No.
"a double cotton-covered wire are
wound tightly on the tube. Taps are
taken out every third turn and brought
out to the 9-point switch on the panel
as seen in Fig. 3. The set functions
better without shellacked windings,
but if the wire will come loose with
out it, apply a very thin coating of
shellac.
The secondary Is wound on a tube
315 inches in diameter by 1A inches
In length, and Is wound with 80 turns

of No. % double c~otton-covered wire;
no taps are taken off.
Fig. 2 shows the method of mount
ing the coupler. AS is seen, the pri-
mary is fastened to the panel and to
the base by screws. A disk of one
f~ourth-inch wood is fitted inside the
secondary tubing of the coupler and to
this a copper arm is fastened by
means of screws. AS the dial con-
trolling the coupler Is moved, the arm
moves, thus drawing the secondary in
and out Of the primary.
The loading coil L in Fig. 1 is made
OF a tube Az inches in diameter by B
inches long. 1t is wound with 100
turns of No. % double cotton-covered
wire and taps are taken off every ten
turns and brought out to the ten-point
switch on the panel. In Fig. 1 is
shown a wire connecting the last tap
of the loading coil with the switch.
This is a device that eliminates the
"dead-end" effect.
The Condenser Used.
The variable condenser used in this
circuit is Of small capacity. 1t is a
18-plate panel type condenser. The

bakelite or other good insulating ma
terial are used to hold the jaws out
from the spark plug cores, as shown.
If greater Insulation is required use
two cores at each end and mount the
jaws in the center. Three-sixteenth
holes are drilled in the wood base at
the proper points. After drilling these
a larger drill Is used to c~ountersink the
lower end of the cores in the base,
which should fit snug up to the shoulder
of the core. The cores are held firmly
to the base by forcing the top nut over
the lower tip and spreading it with
a hammer, after which ii is passed up
through the base, core and bakelite,
to be held firmly in place by the top
lock nut.
If the switch is to be placed where
1t is unprotected from the weather a
waterproof housing should enclose 1t,
which can be mounted with wood
screws. Porcelain cleats should also
be placed under the base at each end
to keep 1t free from all dampness.

ton before the light company's plant

consuming large quantities of btu
