Induction Explained
for Radio Beginners

Beginners often wonder how the
energy Is transferred from the pri.
mary to the secondary circuit of
variOcOupler or loose coupler when
there is no electrical connection be.
tween. This phenomenon is explained
by what is known as induction. When
coil of wire has a current passing
through it it throws out field of
force of the form and nature of that
which surrounds magnet. If another
coil of wire is brought near the first
coil so that its turns are within the
bounds Of its field of force, 1t will be
found that momentary current is
produced in the second coil. When
this happens the second current Is
said to be induced. in distinction from
conducted.
However. If the current in the frs
coil is steady and the relationship be
tween the two coils remains fixed the
induced current will last but moment
But II the current is alternating, or
Osclllatory. such as is found In radio
waves, the current in the second coil
will be continuous and will follow
closely the changes of current In the
first coil.

similar to the vernier control on any
vernier adjustment. such as cOndensers
or couplers. etc. are made today. In
a great number Of Instances where
fixed "B" battery voltages could NJ"
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 he obtained.
A great number nf Long A. fans are

tiOns that they never conli have

One Of its constant users advises
that the Long rs has no respect,
for distance. and that stations are got
ten by appointment and not by
chance"
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 lOca'
broadcasting stations with a con
denser. The best results o: this kind
were obtained by placing the ti'':Ier
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.
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1924-04-12

Many radio fans are familiar with
the Long A. hook-up. The Long 45
Is one of the few that are capable Of
operating loud 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
IS receiver Is shown herewith. A
glance at 1t will show that the variable
phone condenser originally used has
been removed and fixed .O0325 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 a mini
num-.
To replace the hole drilled on the
panel for 21-plate variable cOndenS-
er, a 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-
~. or UV-2OO. the best results are
obtained when the switch is placed at
contact points marked I. 8, or Z.
When using hard tube. such as w.
2O1A, the contact switch should be
placed att. 8, IL, IS or Is. The rea-
son that every other switch point or
contact point Is not used Is to safe
guard against short circuits. adjacent
cells of the Long As "B" battery.

drawn over to the positively charged
plate from the negatively charged fila.
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
60 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 a bar
rier between the filament and plate
and practically stops the flow of elec-
irons, and consequently the signals In
the phones.

Efficient Ground as
Important as Aerial

designing and erecting an aerial. but
usually very little thought is given to
the matter of 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, he just as care
full in securing good ground as you
are In securing good aerial. The i'm.
proved results will repay you.

Also there are very few rheostats and
