and It Is recommended In this con-
nectlcn that mica insulation be utilized.
The manner In which the ampllfier
operates may then be briefly described
as follows:
The Incoming oscillations produce a
difference Of potential between the
grid and filament Of the first tube,
which. in turn, produces voltage drops
across the resistances l and q The
condo 1sers 4 and then permit these
voltage variations In the resistances
to be applied directly across the grids
and dlaments Of the second and third
tubes. bringing about magniied cur
rents in the anode circuits after the
usual thermlOnic tube theory.
These condensers serve a secondary
purpose simultaneously and prevent
the establishment Of permanent
voltage due to the "B" battery being
impressed across the grids and fla
ments Of the tubes.
The third condenser, 9, is ingen-
iously inserted to prevent a direct cur
rent Of the "B" battery passing
through the telephones, which would
result in the same being impaired by
the permanent magnets becoming de-
magnetized.
The high resistances, Z and 8. II
will be seen, are connected directly to
the grid Of the second and third tubes
through to the negative pole Of the
"A" battery and serve as leaks" In
this manner an accumulation Of mega
tive electrons on the grids is not per-
mitted; this effect, If not remedied.
would. Of course, result In the cleo
tronic emission from the flaments be-
ing arrested owing to the accumulated
negative charge.
This instrument Will be found to
produce quite excellent results, pro-
viding care be taken in the selection
Of resistances, although it cannot be
said that the ampliication so obtained
is equal TO that of an intertube trans
former arrangement. II will be nee
essary TO regulate the filaments' cur
rent carefully in order to obtain the
best results, and the best condition Of |
sensitiveness will make itself apparent I

1t is important that the outside

side of the secondary shall be con-
nected to the negative side of the
battery. and not to the negative side
of the filament.

The following is a description OF a
simple amplifier for magnlfylng oscil-
1ations Of audio frequency, and is sim
pie by virtue Of the fact that no inter
tube transformers are employed.
Transformers for tube work, wheth-
er for low frequency or high frequen-
cy amplifiers, always present a diff
Guilty to those who desire to construct
their own receivers, and In spite Of
the fact that 1t is now an easy mat
ter to purchase component parts Of
this nature, there still exist a large
number Of radio enthusiasts who pre-
fer to manufacture their own ap-
3aratus.
The plan of connections of this
circuit is shown In the diagram, and
the actual arrangement is, Of course,
used In conjunction with some form
of tuner, the low frequency and rec
tilted signals for application being
led into the amplifier at the input
terminals A or B.
Resistances l, 2 and are Of high
value and should be Of the same order
as the effective internal resistance Of
the tubes employed, which ranges
usually about $4,000 ohms.
The resistances 4 and 5 should be
about 100000 ohms each, but this
value is not so critical as that Of re-
sistances 1, 2 and 8.
These resistances can be Of any
type, such as composition rods, or,
then again, they may be made Of re-
sistance wire, but If this latter form
is to be used 1t is necessary to wind
the same so that there Is no Undue
lance effect.
Where a rod resistance is resorted
to particular attention must be paid
to the method Of connecting same TO
the rest of the circuit to insure good
contact, otherwise parasitic noises will
result when the instrument is put into
operation.
Three small fixed plate condensers
are inserted in the circuit In the g,
7 and 8 positions shown, and should |
be about .OOO3 mfds. each. 1t Is adj |
visable for the dlelectric Of these
condensers to be Of an insulating |
property of a high order, otherwise
the amplifier Is likely to be noisy !
