than the two units purchased indi-
vidually. Some of the best results OBJ
tanned from a single vacuum tube used
for broadcast reception have been OBJ
tanned with single circuit receivers
However, this class of receiver has
n weakness not shared by types
which are a bit more difficult to op-
crate. This Is specially evident when
a number of broadcast stations OF
nearly the same wave length are op-
Grating together. The single circuit
~regenerative receiver becomes a trans
mftter when in the hands of a person
not familiar with its proper operation.
1t causes whistling and ~shrieking In
other receiving sets in the vicinity.
Several of these receivers, if operated
near each other, can completely de-
stroy the receiving qualities of all 9TH
er receivers. Many radio experts
would abolish this type of set IT curb
its ability to transmit, but no action
toward this end has been taken as yet.

and fell from a height OF thirty feet

When l reached the top my first move

"On the poop Of the English vessel

Single Circuit Is
Great for Volume
Simplicity Is an Approved
Feature of Regenerative
Receiver

For simplicity Of operation IT Is
doubtful whether any form of regen-
erative receiver may be had that com
pares with the single circuit regenera-
tive receiver. Most Of these receivers
are made with but three major con-
trolls, one for controlling the brilliancy
of he vacuum tube, one for regulating
the wave length and one for controlling
n degree of regeneration.
The circuit includes the antenna,
condenser (C1), coil (L1) and ground.
This circuit is called the pickup cir
cult or the tuning circuit. The coil
U2), called the ticker. serves to feed
back some of the energy from the tele-
phone OF plate circuit to the grid cir
cult by means of electromagnetic
coupling, indicated by the two arrows
The remainder Of the circuit Is not
complicated and involves no trouble
some features.
Receivers of this class may be pro-
cured with Or without the vacuum
t~ube-control apparatus, but those with
the tube control are to be preferred

turns. If the coupler Is designed on
the $50 degree coupling type-t func-
tiening viii be smothered and the set
rs a whole more stable.
In addition to the ~yariocoupler az
above mentioned this set contains a
high-grade variable condenser with a
or approximately the equivalent OF an
11-plate condenser; a rheostat, the re-
sistance of which is determined by the
tube and battery used a fixed mica
condenser of .00025 ~microfarads ca.
pacity; a switch and four switch
points a grid leak of 2 megohms suit
able knobs and dials and a 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 a simple matter. Mere
ly turn on the flament Of the vacuum
tube to the proper temperature tdull
red for WD11 and WD12 and light
yellow for 201A and 1888. If a 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 a broadcasting sta
ton is heard. Move the switch on the
switch point until the signal comes In
loudest and then rotate the rotor ball

may be necessary to refine slightly
with the variable condenser and per-
haps to readjust the filament tempera-
ture, but a 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 20 interfere with
the programs of other receivers. The
secondary is sharply tuned, but the
primary circuit contains but ten turns
of wire. BY tuning the secondary the
primary is forced into with

without radiation.
The Haynes set, as in the case of
other sets of its type. can be ampli-
fed by the simple addition Of the
proper equipment. A two-stage ampIi-
fer, constructed along the usual lines,
will work perfectly with this outfit. In
such a case the ampliier lnput Is con-
nected in place of the telephone re-
ceivers in the diagram. Ordinarily, It
is then best to add a small mica con-
denser of about .001 m~icrofarads ca
pacity directly across the primary
terminals of the transformers.

can easily determine the polarity by
careful observation. You will notice
that n of the six-volt terminals viii
appear gray while the other will be
much darker. The lighter of the two
terminals Is the negative.

THE MAN WHO SHOT LORD
NELSON
A. d. 1905

This story is from the memoirs of
Robert Guillemard, a conscript in the
Grand Army of France and, TO his hor-
ror, drafted for a marine or board the
battleship Redoubtable. The Franco
Spanish fleet OF thirty-three battle
ships lay in Cadiz, and Villeneuve, the
nice old gentleman in command, was
still b~reathless after being chased by
Lord Nelson across the Atlantic and
back again. Now, having given Nelson
the slip, he had fierce orders from the
Emperor Napoleon TO join the French
channel fleet for the invasion of Eng
land. The nice old gentleman knew
that his fleet was manned largely with
helpless recruits, ill-paid, ill-found,
most scandalOusIy fed, sick with a
righteous terror lest Nelson come and
burn them in their harbor.
Then Nelson came, with twenty
seven battleships, raging for a fight,
and Villeneuve had TO obIige for fear
of NapoleOn's anger.
The fleets met OFF the sand-dunes of
Cape Trafalgar, drawn up in opposing
lines for battle. and when they closed.
