neutrodyne is that the station when
once it has been located and the
dial settings noted can be tuned in
again by merely setting the dials
on the same combina ton of settings.
While it is possible to construct
the special transformers and con-
densers used in the circuit, it is
much better practice to buy the
units specially made for the purpose.
The angle at which the trans
formers, or. as they are termed, the
"neutroformers," are mounted is very
important. The best angle which
reduces interaction between cir
cults to minimum has been found
to be 54.1 degrees or approximately
So degrees. An angle very close to
54.1 can be obtained by laying out
right-angle triangle, one leg of
which measures 4 inches and the
other measures SIS inches. The
angle between the 4-inch leg and the
hypothenuse of the triangle is the
54.1 degree angle. In laying out the
holes for mounting the neutroform-
erS, the axis of the neutroformer
should correspond with the hypo-
thenuse of the triangle. with the
4-inch leg of the triangle parallel
with the base edge of the panel. The
triangle should be laid on the back
of the panel with the n Inch side
toward the antenna side of the panel
and the finch side toward the bot
tom edge of the panel.
A little care in the construction
will do wonders in the matter of
getting best results.

How to Build a Really Efficient
Seutrodyne Receiver.


There is no doubt about the fact
that the neutrodyne receiver Is one
of the most sensitive. stable and de-
sirable receivers in our midst.
!, It's great senSitivity. which en-
ables it to bring in distant stations
without any trouble; its ease OF oper-
alton. permitting of its use by the
most unskilled operator. and Its free
dom from the disturbing element OF
radiation possibilities easily make
1t one of the most popular receivers
on the market today. provided-and
there's the rub-the receiver lS prop
erly constructed and adjusted.
The greatest trouble with fans who
try to build the neutrodyne is that
they do not pay due regard to the
fact that with this circuit. as with
no other circuit, extreme care must
be taken to construct the set prop
erly and adjust ii carefully to oper-
ate at maximum efficiency. Ii this
is not done good results are lmpos-
sible and the constructor Will be
among those who will knock the re-
ceiver, not because the receiver Is
inherently at fault. but because he
did not know how to draw out its
possibilities.
Tyre of Instruments.
The selection of the lnstrume IS
used in it's construction, their ar
rang on the panel and base
board and the wiring of the terminals
play very important part in the
efficiency of the completed receiver.
Poor parts improperly arranged and
poorly wired will be bound to give
very poor results. Even when the
parts are properly arranged and
wired it is necessary to know just
how to make the initial adjustments S
of the neutralizing elements which
are so necessary to the proper oper-
alton of the receiver.

, Before actually starting on the
construction of the receiver it is ad-
visable to know something about
what can be expected from it and the
points which should be watched care
fully in order to get good results.
The set is not designed for loop

obtained when fairly good outside
aerial is used with it. Good results
can be obtained with an indoor aerial
consisting of an insulated wire
stretched from room to room for
