The principle of neutralized tuned
radio frequency application is util-
lied in the circuit given In the at
tached illustration to form receiver
that Is nonradiating, selective, has
good range and volume and Is easy to
build and operate.
The most interesting part of the cir
cult is the method of constructing the
lnductances and the source of the cur
rent used to prevent oscillations in
the circuit. 1t will be noted that two
inductances are shown in the diagram
shunted by .O005 MID. condensers for
tuning. These inductances are termed
ampliformers and are made from 10
turn honeycomb coils in the following
manner:
Take 75-turn coil and strip off 2
turns, then count back Is turns on
the coil and carefully raise the wire
and take tap; this tap is lettered G.
Now count back 10 more turns and
make another tap, B. 1t is not neces-
sary to unwind the coils to take these
taps. The coils are then clamped be-
tween two pieces of bakelite 2h
inches square in which have been
drilled holes to mount terminal posts

Four-Tube Amplidine Circuit.

the condensers. In mounting the coils
they should be mounted at right
angles to reduce any coupling between
them to zero.
The connection to the rest of the
apparatus is made as shown In the
diagram. The neutralizing condenser
IS a small midget variable condenser
mounted on the panel The rest OF
the circuit presents nothing really
new.
AS to the theory of its operation.
The 10 turns of the first coil between
G and D form an untuned primary
circuit and by reason of the inverse
aerial connection grounds the negative
filament reducing body capacity. The
condenser tunes the remainder OF the
first inductance which is the grid In
put to the radio frequency tube.
The plate circuit of the radio fire.
quency tube includes 10 in the second
coil and forms an untuned plate cir
cult closely coupled to the tuned input
circuit of the detector. 1t will be
noted, however, that the portion Of
the coil between G and d Is neither
in the plate or grid circuit, but is
closely coupled to both. The end of
the coil is connected through the STABILIZE
ing condenser to the grid of the radio
frequency tube Now should there be
any tendency Of the plate circuit to
feed back to the grid through the tube
o;t ie, hu
and opposite feed back obtained from
the extra winding on the coil. Per-
feet stability can be obtained by the
adjustment Of the stabilizing con-
denser.
But this condenser is mounted on
the panel for very good reason. We
could mount 1t fixed behind the panel,
but by making it adjustable gain in
volume and selectivity is obtained. 1t
is we'll known that the greater the
tendency Of radio frequency ampli-
fer to oscillate the greater the am
plification, but the instant oscillations
start the amplification stops. There
fore when a signal is picked up, a
slight adjustment of the stabilizing
condenser is made to slightly unbal-
ance the circuit when the signals will
be greatly strengthened and the cir
cult can be put right on edge" so
to speak. 1t would not be practical to
keep the circuits in this critical con-
dition while tuning, for the set would
go into oscillation without warning,
but when a station is picked up it is
entirely practical to push the circuit
up to the edge of oscillating, but not
beyond.
The receiver is remarkably easy to
handle and gives results equal to any
four-tube set built. 1t possesses all
the stability of the neutrodyne as well
as the selectivity and, in addition,
permits the slight unbalancing of the
superdyne and teledyne circuits that
accounts for their efficiency.-New
York World.

is not necessary and can be eliminated.
Only one side of the potentiometer is

side going to one terminal of the rheo-
stat. When the rheostat is turned TO
the "off'' position, the potentiometer is
also disconnected. The extra resist
ance of part of the rheostat is added
to that of the potentiometer, but as
this is only one or two ohms and as
the rheostat is varied very little after
the correct position has been found, it
will make no difference In fine func-
tioning of the potentiometer. The dia-

Important Hints
for Hook-Up Fan
Constants Given Should Be
Followed to Exact Let
ter for Results.
BY GUY M. CHASE

COL sizes, condenser capacities ana
other constants given in hook-up
should be followed to the exact letter.
Testing of the set alone will show
whether the difference in your aerial
able. Slight changes can then be
made as needed. But unless you fol-
low the constants given expect all
sorts of trouble, as haphazard
change in one may throw out the others.
Remember that hook-up for
UV-199 tube will require some changes
in the filament circuit for a UV-200
tube or for WD-12.
The same hook-ups can be drawn a
dozen different ways and look like
dozen different circuits. Check your
hook-ups and make sure they are diff
ferent
Remember that any set with the
aerial or the plate connected direct
to the aerial wire will be bad re-
radiation offender.
A .0005 variable condenser across a
coil of 80 turns on a 3h-inch tube
Will lHc DdHu
on most aerial ground combinations.
This is more efficient and tunes finer
than tapped coil without condenser.
If the hook-up calls for .0005 con-
denser, get one. Don't get just a
"twenty-three plate" condenser. Some
really good condensers have COOS ca
pacity with less than twenty-three
plates.
If the hook-up calls for 80 turns on
3-inch tube, don't use finch tube
and expect complete success.
Keep connections short and straight.
If you like the right-angled turn style,
use it, but keep the wires short.
A straight wire from binding post to
binding post may not be quite as ar
tistic as the right-angled turns, but it
saves wire.
Mount the grid condenser on the
grid binding post if possible. In any
event keep it as close as possible.
Mount the tube socket with due re-
gard to grid and plate leads, regard
less of artistic spacing. Length of
battery leads is not material.
An old slab of paneling can be
mounted at the rear of the Dashboard
for battery connections, taking the
connecting wires out through holes
at the back of the cabinet.
See that jacks are so mounted that
the plug will make proper connection
with the springs. Sometimes two or
three washers are needed to get the
correct spacing. Failure to watch this
may produce dead set, due to short
circuiting Of the plug.
If you must shield the panel, which
is not really necessary, try long strip
of bus bar wire, connected to the
ground binding post and run across
behind the tuning elements, bend and
run back under the shafts nearly to
the point of starting, forming a o..
If this is a quarter inch or so from
the shafts it will do as well as sheet
of tinfoil pasted on the panel, with
much less broadening effect on tuning
Be sure to have your grid leak
mounting, whatever its type, where
you can get at it after the set is as
sembled. Don't have it buried under
a lot of wires.-New York World.

this, draw with soft lead pencil or
pen full of india ink, line, or per-
haps two lines, between this particular
terminal and the grid terminal Of the
vacuum tube, as is shown in the &C
complaining illustration. The leak
may be regulated by making the lines
heavy or light as the case may be,
and once adjusted it will always re-
main the same Thus a separate grid
leak may be had for each different
tube used without changing any of
the apparatus within the machine.
The one caution which must be oh.
served is in determining the respective
grid and positive filament terminals

Lines for Grid Leak on

BY n. r. AckERMAN

In operating vacuum tube receiving
sets l have found that no two detec-
tor tubes are alike when it comes to
the amount of current consumed and
the resistance of the grid leaks which
each requires. For the amateur who
cannot afford to purchase several tu-
bular grid leaks of different values,
this kind which have been using my
self will prove quite help.

Vacuum Tube Current

Vacuum tube filaments should never
be operated with a greater filament
current than is absolutely necessary
to give maximum signal strength
When this rule is not followed. the
tungsten wire forming the filament
rapidly diminishes in size and shortens
the life of the tube.

Regardless of the form of Undue

creases signal strength, clears signals
and improves reception generally. In
