Yet, strangely enough, the public
has been slow to realize that high re-

value of low loss condensers has been
emphasized and buyers are now de-

High Loss Condenser Is
as Bad as a Leaky Hose

Reports of the infnitesimal amount
of energy received by radio loop, is
described at recent meeting of the
American Chemical society, strikingly
illustrate the importance Of the con-
denser In a receiving set.
A calculation made OF the amount
of power picked up by loop one foot
In diameter in a laboratory In New
YORK state receiving radio impulses
from San Francisco indicated that 1t
was equal to only one-billionth Of a
fly power. The energy set free by a
house fly climbing up the wall is equal.
according to the computation, to the
amount of energy the loop would re
ceive in a continuous period Of IS
years.
Yet loop reception Is efficient and
increasingly popular. It's efficiency
depends to great extent upon the
variable condenser. The condenser
comes closest to being the miracle
part of any set. To be efficient II
must not waste energy. A high loss

the manufacturer often resorts TO finer
gauge wire. This causes resistance
and impairs fine tuning The wire
used should be No 20 or larger. Prac-
tically all the self-supporting variom-
eters now on the market have high
enough ratio of inductance for this cir
cult.
Now, In converting the set, the an
tenna loading coil Is removed from the
operation. The variometer can be put
in a small unit by itself and connected
outside of the set, but it Is advisable
and more efficient to rebuild the whole
set on a new panel following the dia-
gram In Fig. l. The variometer is best
placed at the left of the variable con-
densers, near the ground binding post.
1t is to be placed so that the stator
windings will be at right angles to the
winding of the coil and connected
with the rotor toward ground poten-
tial The coil should be placed as far
away from the variometer as possible
without having the connections to the
variable condensers too long to cause
a loss.
The Fixed Condenser.
The value and location of the fixed
condenser shown at No. l and No.
cannot be given, since the inductance
Of the variometer determines this fac
for. If the set tunes high place the
condenser at No. 2, and IL it tunes low
place 1t at No. /. 1t is best, however.
to place the condenser at No. and
then experiment with its value. Any
thing between .O0025 and .002 may be
ideal. Perhaps the variometer selected
can cover the necessary wave length
band without any condenser whatever.
In such case the small fixed con-
denser should not be used. But If a
condenser is needed it should be of the
rugged mica type that cannot be
squeezed or easily bent. Also try the
variometer connection shown In the
dotted line A B in conjunction with
the condenser. removing the connection
between A and c.
The set Is tuned In exactly the same
manner as before except that the vari-
ometer takes the place of the taps.
Reyolve it until the loudest point is OBJ
tanned and then adjust the condensers.
Considering that dead end losses
are done away with ana finer control

worth the trouble and expense made
on it.-New York Herald.

Those fans using four-circuit
tuner have noticed that the control of
the antenna coil is not good. For 43
turns of wire there are only seven
taps (1st, Sd, It'll, 18th, 21st, 31st, ADD
and the number of turns that are
jumped when changing from one tap
to another cannot afford as fine a con-
troll of the primary circuit as would
be desirable. Also in the tapped coil
only portion of the windings is &C
tually in the circuit This causes
greater distributed capacity and re-
sistance. The added capacity simply
increases the wave length of the coil
and the resistance dampens the cir
cult or decreases selectivity. All this
Is commonly known as dead end loss.
This may not be extremely important,
as regeneration makes up for such
losses, but as mentioned before, finer
control is desirable
The only instrument that can give
this finer control and, If properly Sc
lected, will do away with dead end
losses, is a variometer. In variom-
eter the inductance is varied by
moving the rotor within the stator,
and with good vernier on the variem-
eter dial this variation can be as fine
as 1t is possible to get with any instru-
ment. Then 1t will be noted that all
the turns on a.variometer are used at
all times, and because of this no dead
end losses can detract from the eff
cheney of set using variometer.
Three Important Things.
There are three things that must be
considered IN variometer construction
low resistance In windings, low In
ternal capacity and proper inductance
value. Wooden yariometers, If well
made, will have low capacity value,
but shellac, yarnish and poor rotor
bearings will make them unsatisfac-
tory. Nodded variometers are good,
but their high internal capacity makes
them also unfit for this use. For low
internal capacity the best variometers
on the market are those of self-sup-
porting type, in single layer form. or
still better, In lattice-wound form. The
windings should be attached to the
frame in such way that the frame
does not itself act as dielectric and
thus create capacity effects. Excessive
binding material on the windings
should also be avoided. For low re-
sistance 1t is merely necessary that
the wire be large enough. To get the
number of turns on reserved space
