Although the disturbance caused by
improperly operated receiving sets has
been Increasing in intensity along with
the abnormal growth of the industry
the full extent of the interference
caused by this one item was never
thoroughly realized until the air was
cleared recently for the transatlantic
broadcasts. From 10 until 10 80 p. m.
on the nights allotted to the English
transmitting stations II seemed to the
casual listeners as If every receiving
set within 1000 miles was sending out
its own distinctive note. ranging in
tone from the cultural of bass to
the chee-wit, chee-wee Of songbird.
With these troublesome sounds pollut-
ing the ether, reception from England
was impossible. Since that time, ex-
perts have been busy seeking ways
and means to allay the growing evil
of radiating receivers. the type of set
which causes the trouble.
There are several sets of receivers
that can be made to reradiate, but the
most common Of all Is the so-called
single circuit receiver" This set is
usually distinguished by Its vario-
coupler, the outer coil Of which serves
as both primary and secondary and the
rotor ball as ticker feedback to con-
troll regeneration. If this rotor ball in
these sets is turned too far, the re-
ceiver emits squeak which can be
heard from one block to a mile, de-
pending on the amount of battery volt
age applied to the tube and to the type
of tube in use.
There are ways By which the single
circuit set can be altered which will
make 1t non-radiating. One of these is
to convert 1t into a three-circuit set by
adding variometer In the plate cir
cult and using the rotor ball Of the
coupler as the secondary. II the rotor
Is kept turned as far as possible con-
sistent with good signal strength the
energy generated by the tube will not
be fed across the air space between
rotor and stator with sufficient inten-,
sity to bother adjacent aerials.
One other method to follow to elimi-
nate this interference. which Is con
stantly on the increase, is to utilize the
principle of semi-aperlodic primary
such as is found in the circuit de.
veloped by A. ]. Haynes Of New York
city and known as the Haynes circuit.
The diagram on this page shows
the simplicity Of the tuning and de-
tecting units. The tuner Is essentially
the same as anv variocoupler with the
exception Of the number of turns of
wire on the ball rotor. To work prop

Have Switch in Series
With "a" Battery Lead

When potentiometer Is used in a
receiver 1t will usually be found nee
essary to have a switch in series with
the 'A' battery lead. SO that the re-
sstance, which is shunted across it,
does not consume current. An easy
way to automatically cut out the po-
tentiometer, without going to the ex-
ira expense of switch, Is shown
above. 1t will be noticed that the
rheostat does double duty. as 1t not
only varies the brilliancy of the tube
but disconnects the potentiometer.
A good and simple way to clean the
strands Of litzendracht wire Is to first
take off the outer insulation with a
penknife and then separate the strands
little and heat them over suitable
burner until they are red hot. Quick
ly dip them In. a little alcohol. You
will then see that the strands will be
perfectly clean.

is not marked as to polarity. and you

, erly this rotor should have only 80
turns. If the coupler Is designed on
the 18O degree coupling type the tuhc-
tloning will be smothered and the SET
as whole more stable.
In addition to the variocoupler as
above mentioned this set contains
high grade variable condenser with
capacity of about OOO23 microfarads,
or approximately the equivalent OF an
11-plate condenser; rheostat, the re-
sistance of which is determined by the
tube and battery used; fixed mica
condenser of .OOO25 microfarads ca

points; grid leak of megohms; suit.
able knobs and dials and quantity OF
bus bar wiring to connect the various
pieces of apparatus.
Once the set has been assembled and
connected as shown In the diagram
the operation is simple matter. Mere
ly turn on the tilamfnt Of the vacuum
tube to the proper temperature (dull
red for WD11 and WD12 and light
yellow for 201A and 1883. II hiss
ing sound Is heard in the phones turn
back the rheostat Slightly until the
hiss disappears. Then turn the dial of
the condenser until broadcasting sta
tIon is heard. Move the switch on the
switch point until the signal comes in
loudest and then rotate the rotor ball
slowly until the maximum signal
strength Is obtained. At this point 1t
may be necessary to refine slightly
with the variable condenser and per-
haps to readjust the filament tempera-
ture. but few hours operation will
make Of any operator an expert in the
use Of the circuit.
Because of the untuned nature Of
the primary this set will not radiate
any continuous waves % interfere with
the programs Of other receivers. The
secondary is sharply tuned, but the
primary circuit contains hut ten turns
Of wire. BY tuning the secondary the
primary is forced into resonance with
1t. thus makingy reception possible
without radiatione
The Haynes set, as In the case of
other sets Of its type. can be ampll-
fed by the simple addition of the
proper equipment. A two-stasa ampil-
fer. constructed along the usual lines,
will work perfectly with this outfit. In
such case the ampllfer input Is con-
nected in place Of the telephone re-
ceivers In the diagram. Ordinarily, 1t
Is then best to add a small mica con-
denser Of about .OO1 microfarads ca
pacity directly across the primary
terminals Of the transformers.
