Loud-Speaking Crystal
Set Not Yet in Sight

Beware of the man who offers to
tell you how to build a loud-speaking
crystal set. 1t cannot be done with
out the addition of one or two bulbs,
and most of the 'plans" advertised
prove to be nothing but hook-ups of
standard audio-amplifiers. There is
mechanical amplifier made in England
for use with crystal receivers, but the
price of the device is staggering. But
taken by ite llf it Is absolutely impos-
sible to work a loud speaker on
crystal set unless the set is located
within 500 feet of broadcasting sta
ton. The only energy present In such
radio receptor is what is picked UP
by the aerial, and its actual value Il

How to Build Your Own
Series-Parallel Switch
BY S. STARR WALsRIDGE

In constructing a honeycomb coil
set, the diagram of which calls for a
series-parallel switch to put the pri-
mary condenser in either series or
parallel with the primary coil, very
neat job can be done by using four
spring, two-closed-contact jack. The
Jack should be connected as shown in
the accompanying diagram. The
change from series to parallel is made
by inserting a wooden plug where the
phone plug would ordinarily go. If
you have an old violin key, this may
be cut off and will suit the purpose
very well. Another method of making
the plug is to cut a small spool in half,
shape the cut end of one-half to suit
yourself, and insert q short, round
stick just the size Of the hole in the
spool. The plug may be enameled
black.
This arrangement not only works
well, but requires a very short time
for installation, and takes up very

it possible to calibrate the secondary
circuit and the tuned radio frequency
amplifer in terms of wave-length,
thereby enabling the receiver to be &C.
curateIy adjusted to the signals of any
broadcasting station from a celebration
table or curve sheet. This arrangement
greatly simplifes tuning, making it pos
slble for the operator after having once
located a given broadcasting station, to
again return to it by adjusting the two
tuning dials at the numbers previously
logged. This makes 1t the ideal re-
ceiyer.
The set is very selective because II
employs tuned radio frequency, loose
coupled antenna and a tuned second
airy. 1t is possible to receive the dis
tant stations despite local interference.
For example, In Cincinnati it is pos
slble to tune In KDKA which is only
IT meters higher In wave length than
WLW, while the latter station is In
operation.
The operation of the Trirdyn Is very
simple and will give excellent results
with any type of antenna. 1t oper-
ates satisfactorily with a small indoor
antenna, which provides loud-speaker
volume, even on long distance stations
and good results have been obtained
without using any antenna, using only
a ground connection.
1t requires a detector and two amplt
fer tubes of standard type and salts

cells are employed for lighting the fla

Burning Headlights Not
Result of an Accident

Your lights are burning, mister;
yes, know it," is an inscription which
will be seen on more than one automo-
bile in the coming year. At least, IN
til the remainder of the motoring pub
lie come to realize that a car with
burning headlights is not the result OF
an all-night joy ride or accidental turn
ing of the light switch. One driver
threatened to use such a sign when
told by a battery service man that
long daytime trips and high-charging
rate of his generator under such condi-
lions meant certain disaster for the
storage battery on his car unless he
burned the lights.
In that respect, at least, the Euro
pean name, "accumulator," by which
storage batteries are known over there,
is more literally correct. An automo-
bile battery merely accumulates the
surplus electricity developed by the
generator, and when that current be-
comes excessive the work done in the
battery (and 1t is just as much work
for battery to take a charge as it is
to give it Off becomes a burden to 1t
and overheating results.

Different Causes for
Short Circuits on Car

Short circuits are very likely to be
caused by carbon, fuel or water collect
ing on the points Of the spark plugs, or
on the lower surface Of the insulation,
or on the outer surface Of the insula-
ton, or by cracks in the insulation tt
self. To test for short circuits take
out the plug and lay 1t so that the out
er shell only is in contact with the
cylinder and then crank the motor. If
there is a spark at the plug, but no
spark at the points when the cable is
connected to the central electrode OBJ
viously the plug is short circuited and
should be taken apart and cleaned.

The rapidly Increasing popularity Of
tuned radio frequency In receiving sets
is clearly indicative Of its extreme eff
has used tuned radio frequency for the
past two years, notwithstanding the
great amount Of publicity already
given to tuned radio frequency Of the
transformer type. 1t is gratifying to
the president Of the corporation to
know that so many large and influential
manufacturers are turning to tuned ra-
dio frequency application in the de-
sign Of the new receivers.
The newest addition to the line IS
the Trlrdyn R 3, announced on the
third anniversary of the corporation.
The Trirdyn, having passed through a
thorough test from every angle, and
after practical use by people in various
parts of the United States, was deemed
ready to distribute to the public. Lab
oratory tests are not always as prac-
tical as those given a receiver under
the different circumstances encountered
In actual operation and the reports re-
ceived bore out the excellent tests of
the designers. A. year has been given
to perfecting tbs receiver.
Four imrortant principles are accom-
plished in receiver design in the Trir-
Gyn: tuned radio frequency amplifica-
ton with the first tube; Armstrong re-
generative detector action with the sec
ond tube reflex application by en-
ploying the first, or radio frequency
tube as an audio ampllfier and one
stage Of audio frequency with the
third tube. These factors combined in
the particular arrangement Of this re-
ceiver give signal strength Of receiv-
er utilizing five tubes.
The Trirdyn will not reradiate when
receiving broadcasting stations signals
due to the fact that the antenna Is
very loosely coupled to the secondary
circuit and a nonoscillating radio-fre-
quency amplifier is employed before the
regeneratiye detector, as a barrier to

Few Rules to Follow
in Testing Brakes

The emergency road service de
partment of the Cleveland Auto
mobile club has issued the fol-
lowing Instructions for testing
automobile brakes:
Two white lines, about three
inches broad, should be painted
on the street pavements with 81
feet between.
The automobile whose brakes
are to be tested should be driven
by the owner at 20 miles an hour.
At the first white line the
driver applies the brakes to the
limit Of their capacity.
II the car stops before the sec
ond white line is passed the
brakes are efficient.
If the automobile cannot be
stopped with 81 feet the brakes
should be examined by a COM
petent mechanic at some reliable
service station or garage.

DIFFICULT MATTER
TO IDENTIFY AUTO
Stolen Car Usually Taken to
the Factory and Different
Parts Scattered About.

(By ERWIN GREER. President Greer Col
legs Of Automotiye Engineering, Chicsgo.)
II you were asked whether you could
Identify your own car under any set
Of circumstances your impulse would
be to return an unqualified and indig-
nant affirmative. The police Of our
city would disagree with you just as
unqualifedly.
AS matter of fact, most car own
ers depends upon Identification on
some scratch on the body, some bro
zen screw IN the chassis, or some 9TH
er equally uncertain factor. They do
not stop to consider that the big
manufacturers are turning out models
IN 10000 lots that differ from each
other In not the slightest discernible
degree. By the time a successful thief
has run a stolen car through his "serv-
Ice station" it would puzzle the most
careful owner on earth to identify his
vehicles
Identification Not Convincing.
An instance in point is illustrated.
Arriving at the police station car
owner found a small group Of other
owners who had assembled to try and
Identify the same car. The hopeful
owner had a number OF marks by
which he felt confident he could prove
his ownership. There was a bent
screw, a dent in one fender, scratch
of peculiar shape on the dash. The
car with which he was confronted
was undoubtedly Of the same vintage
as his stolen one, but unhappily 1t was
painted a rich ultramarine blue, In
stead of the dark green that had
graced his vehicle. The most earnest
scrutiny failed to disclose any Of the
distinguished marks on which he had
relied A slight chipping Of the new
coat of enamel revealed the fact that
It had been put on over a previous
coat of dark green that our friend had
described, but two Of the other assem-
bed owners had put in bids for dark
green cars and eventually one Of them
managed to identify the car by a chip
in the gearset housing. The identif-
cation was not particularly convincing,
but in the absence of anything better
it served TO give the car to the owner
who had been able to describe the i'm

No car owner ought to depend upon
such casual means of Identification as
slight imperfections that may have
been accrued during the operation Of

motorcar thief steals a car he takes
it to what amounts practically to re-
building factory. In many cases the
entire mechanism Is taken down and
the different parts redistrlbuted with
those from other cars Of the same
makes and models to turn out to what
amounts to new vehicles.

need it, use copper polish to fin
ish. This is a quick and ever-ready
way.
Bronzes and gilt ornaments can
be cleaned only by brushing care
fully with fine quality, small paint
brushes. When too dull and shabby
they must be done over by pro-
fessional. When the cheaper quat-
ity of gilt frames get shabby, take
enough flour of sulphur to give q
golden tinge to a pint and a half
of water and add four bruised
onions. Boil 20 minutes, then
strain and cool. Wipe the dust
from the frame, and with a small
soft brush paint it over with the
liquid, then set aside to dry. When
dry it will look almost like new.
The more expensive big frames
must be regilded by professional
when very shabby, though they
may be touched up one or more
times with this liquid, which will
