similar to the yernier control on any
vernier adjustment such as condensers
or couplers, etc, are made today. In
great number of instances where
fixed "B" battery voltages could not
be adjusted. 1t was found that some
times too much plate voltage caused
noises and blocked the tubes or made
them inactive, preventing the very
best results that could be obtained.
A great number of Long As fans are
reporting excellent results from sta
tions that they never could have
brought in on more expensive and
elaborate sets.
One Of its constant users advises
that the Long 45 has no respect
for distance, and that stations are got

For an inexpensive set, 1t was found
that 1t was easily tuned and selective.
and that there was no difficulty in
good locations, in cutting out local
broadcasting stations with a con-
denser. The best results Of this kind
were obtained by placing the ticker
coil almost at right angles with the in
ductance coil, then tuning with con-
denser attached to the inductance coil.
Volume Of signals and reception was
then increased by adjusting the prop
er "B" voltage on the inductance
switch.

Efficient Ground as
Important as Aerial

Great care is usually exercised in
designing and erecting an aerial, but
usually very little thought is given to
the matter of a ground. The two are
disassociated in the minds of many
experimenters-an aerial Is supposed
to do one function and ground Is
supposed to do something entirely diff
ferent. But, in reality, the aerial and
the ground perform equal functions
and act AS the two plates Of a large
condenser. Therefore, be just as care
full In securing a good ground as you
are In securing good aerial. The i'm
proved results will repay you.

Have Rolling Contact
for Variable Resistances

With the continued use Of a wire
type potentiometer or rheostnt the con-
tact arm is very likely to cut through
the wire. thus running the instrument.
Also there are very few rheostats and
potentiometers which have smooth
sliding contacts. To eliminate these
disadvantages incorporate on the con-
tact arm Of rheostat small roller
contact. This arrangement has proven
highly efficient and has given much
satisfaction. Figs. l. and clearly
show how this arrangement can be ap-
piled to various types of rheostats and
potentiometers. AS seen. small brass

drawn over to the positively charged
plate from the negatively charged fla
ment.
There Is mesh of wire between
the filament and plate through which
the electrons must flow, and this is
called the grid. The incoming signals
go directly to the grid, and as they are
positive they cause the grid to become
positive. The grid being between the
filament and plate and being positive
adds further inducement to the elec.
irons to leave the neighborhood Of the
filament and flow to the plate. When
the grid is negative this places bar
rter between the flament and plate
and practically stops the flow of elec-
irons, and consequently the signals in
the phones.

I'M 45-vo

Many radio fans are familiar with
the Long As hook-up. The Long %
Is one Of the few that are capable of
operating ioud speaker with mod
crate volume on local stations.
The inventor of the circuit now
states that he has found method
whereby the cost of construction can
be slightly reduced and the efficiency
Of the receiver greatly improved.
The diagram of the improved Long
45 receiver is shown herewith. A
glance at It will show that the variable
phone condenser originally used has
been removed and fixed .00325 phone
condenser substituted. This condenser
will materially improve the volume
| while the regeneration can easily be
controlled by the ticker coil of the
Long As tuner The .OO325 condenser
will be found to be as good. If not bet
ter, than the variable condenser for
merly employed and the possibilities
for leakage will be reduced to mini
mum.
To replace the hole drilled on the
panel Tor 2l-plate variable condens-
er, Carter inductance switch with
| Is points Is introduced, and this is
used to adjust the correct "B" battery
voltage for the particular vacuum
tube selected by the operator to meet
his requirements. In the case of a
soft tube, such as the WD-11, WD-
12. or Uy-2OO. the best results are
obtained when the switch Is placed at
contact points marked 1, 8. or Z.
When using hard tube, such as Nv
2O1A, the contact switch should be
placed at Z. 0, II, l3 or IS. The rea-
son that every other switch point or
contact point is not used Is to safe
guard against short circuits, adjacent

buildings. including courthouses, schools, auditoriums, city halls, hos- pitals, etc., which in the aggregate l involve the expenditure of millions of dollars, make up the list. Moreover, this class of work Is likely to play . very important part in the con
 struction program of 1925 as evil denced by the big bond issues to be
 voted upon in the near future to provide necessary funds. Many
 southern cities and towns are grow
 ing so rapidly that public improve
 ments are far behind the require. ments, and in some instances it will
 be years before these needs can be
 adequately met.
 Road, paving and bridge contracts
 are being let throughout the south at rate never before exceeded. Bids will be received during September
 and October for many similar prof. ects. Paving work in the cities is going rapidly forward.
 Briefly summarized we have the fol- lowing encouraging developments in the Birmingham district: Steady improvement in the pig iron market with indications for prices bet ter than SIS per ton, No. 2 foundry, which was the minimum for the week. A price of SEQ per ton before the years end is anticipated for this commodity.
 Indications of steady shipments of products from steel mills of Birming- ham. More work is reported by steel fabricating plants of this district. Fab ricators expect no material results to follow elimination of, the Pittsburgh plus price-making plan This plan has net been in effect here for some time.
 Prospects of continuous operation by pipe makers. Good reports are re- ceiyed over the territory by these con- cerns
 With the reaction in pig iron has come similar reaction in coal and coke. There is healthier tone in the coke market. Inquiries are stronger, and there IS an encouraging movement of tonnage indicated. There is also a better demand for domestic coal.
 Mines that have experienced a sum- mer of inactivity are gradually resum- ing work as winter approaches. With in the next 15 days much more mining activity in coal appears to be a cer- tainty.
 One is impressed after daily study of industrial reports in Birmingham. Perhaps few persons realize how many smaller industries are springing up everywhere in Birmingham. These con cerns are launching into the local com petitive field with every encourage ment. Many of them are beginning with very modest payrolls. But visit any of these small plants and you will notice busy workmen. No particular systematic plan of getting business is Tn operation in most cases, yet jobs continue to trickle in. Many owners of these small plants report that they are not only doing nicely, but doing really better than they expected.
 Abiding faith in Birmingham is daily shown in this city's impressive building program. Example of larger corpora t1ons is being followed by the individual. Realty transfers are so numerous as to indicate confidence in continued ad- vance Tn property values. Birmingham IS not only getting a goodly share of new skyscrapers but new homes are being erected throughout the city and suburbs.
 In summing up the situation over the south, one must admit that Birming- ham district is marching right along in the lead.

Recent activity in the pig iron mar ket has given stimulus to the entire Birmingham district. There is an en- couraging revival in furnace operations remarkable activity in building opera. tions for both large and small struc- lures in Birmingham steel mills are taking on more life, and backing these improvements is decided feeling of optimism here.

ANOTHER GREAT PLANT ASSURED Local Material Men To Be Favored By Hercules
 Company

Definite announcement by the Her cules Power company that building of it's large plant at McAdory. near Bes- semer, will begin immediately, comes as another of the many encouraging developments for the Birmingham dis trict
 The Hercules plant will have a monthly capacity of 1,250,000 tons of dynamite, all grades, and MT. J. J. Grimes, in charge of Birmingham off, fices of the company, gave out the statement Saturday that his company will build so that the plant capacity can be doubled when business demands.
 In selecting Birmingham for locating what is said will be the most modern dynamite plant in existence, this dis trict receives flattering indorsement from one of the really big industrial organizations of the nation. The com polling factor in the location of the plant, of course, was the wonderfully developed and undeveloped resources of Birmingham and favorable location of the district.
 Many Birmingham concerns will prosper through building of the Her cules plant. MT. Grimes is authority for the statement that all the material that can be bought in Birmingham will be accorded preference, and that only certain special machinery. necessary to the company's needs and not manu- factured in this district, will be brought from outside.
 Engineer E. F. Powelson and a staff of engineers will arrive in Birming- ham tonight and are to be quartered at the Ttitwiler hotel Mir. Powelson will have entire supervision of the con- struction work, and inquiring concerns anxious to compete for material sales must apply to Mir.
