Induction Explained
for Radio Beginners

Beginners often wonder how the
energy is transferred from the pr.
mary to the secondary circuit of 81
variocoupler or loose coupler when
there is no electrical connection he.
tween. This phenomenon is explained
by what is known as induction. When
coil of wire has a current passing
through II 1t throws out a field Of
force of the form and nature of that
which surrounds a 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 lie
found that n 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 first
coil Is steady and the relationship be.
tween the two coils remains fixed the
induced current will last but moment.
But If the current is alternating, or
oscillatory. such as Is found In radio
waves. the current in the second coll
will be continuous and will follow
closely the changes of current in the
first coil.

One Reason
for Nervous
Disorders

VOUR doctor can tell you that
nervous disorders are very COM
mon among Americans. One reason
for this is found in the fact that they
are great coffee drinkers.
Coffee contains caffeine, drug,
prescribed by doctors as an emergency
stimulant for the heart and nervous
system. 1t has tendency to increase
blood pressure, develop heart irreg-
ularities and cause digestive dis
turbances.
If you feel that coffee is not good
for you, serve Postum as your meal
time drink.
Postum is a pure cereal beverage
that refreshes and satisfies. 1t is alb
solutely free from caffeine or any
other irritating drug.
Try a cup of Postum with your
dinner or supper tonight. Postum is
sold everywhere.

drawn over to the positively charged
plate from the negatively charged fila
ment.
There Is a mesh of wire between
the filament and plate through which
the electrons must flow, and this Is
called the grid. The incoming signals
go 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 cleo
irons to leave the neighborhood of the
filament and flow to the plate. When
the grid is negative this places bar
rier between the tilament and plate
and practically stops the flow of cleo
irons. and consequently the signals 10

Efficient Ground as
Important as Aerial

Great care is usually exercised in
designing and erecting an aerial, but
usually very little thought is given to
the matter of a ground. The two are
disassociated in the minds of many
SUPERINTENDENT aerial Is supposed
to do one function and a 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 large
condenser. Therefore. be just as care
full in securing good ground as you
are iR securing a good aerial. The Inn
proved results will repay you.

Have Rolling Contact
for Variable Resistances

With the continued use of a wire
type potentiometer or rheostat the con-
tact arm Is very likely to cut through
the wire, thus running the instrument.
Also there are very few rheostats and
potentlometers which have smooth
sliding contacts To eliminate these
disadvantages incorporate on the con-
tact arm of a rheostat a small roller
contact. This arrangement has proven
highly efficient and has given much
satisfaction. Figs. l. 2 and 3 clearly
show how this arrangement can be APP
piled to various types of rheostats and
potentiometers. AS seen. a small brass

justment of the tuner or the variable

In using this Carter inductaace
switch 1t will be found that finer ad-
justment Of regeneration Is applied,
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 not
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 be obtained.
A great number of Long 40 fans are
reporting excellent results from sta
lions that they never could have
brought in on more expensive and
elaborate sets.
One Of its constant users advises
that the Long as 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 local
broadcasting stations with con-
denser. The best results Of this kind
were obtained by placing the ticker
coil almost at right angles with the in
ductance coll. 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.

Many radio fans are familiar with
the Long 45 hook-up. The Long AZ
is one Of the few that are capable OF
operating a 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
As receiver is shown herewith. A
glance at It Will show that the variable
phone condenser originally used has
been removed and fixed .00325 phone
condenser substituted. This condenser
will materially improve the volume
while the regeneration can easily be
controlled by the ticker coil of the
Long 46 tuner. The .00325 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
mum.
To replace the hole drilled on the
puhci ioi -i-piult NdliuDlt COuutHs-
err Carter inductance switch with
10 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
soft tube, such as the WD-11, WD-
II, or Uv-200, the best results are
obtained when the switch Is placed at
contact points marked l.. 3, 8 or 7.
When using hard tube, such as W.
201A, the contact switch should be
placed at Z, o, IL, 10 or 10. 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.

Americans Printed First
Postage Stamps for King

The first British postage stamps were
made at 90 Fleet street, London, over
eighty years ago.
About 1919 two men came over from
the United States and started print
ing and engraving business which to
this day is known as Perkins, Bacon
& Co., Ltd. They were Jacob Perkins,
an inventor, and Gideon Fairman, an
engraver. and with them were asso-
ciated the two sons of James Heath,
r. A.
The famous Perkins process Of en-
craving on steel was applied and when
millions of postage stamps were first
required the Perkins method was
adopted and proved to be just what
was wanted.
Credit for the invention of the ad-
hesive postage stamp has been claimed

Pyramids of Egypt

The Pyramids of Egypt, some rs In
number, date from the period between
the fourth and twelfth dynasties and
were built as tombs for the kings. The
most important group Is at Gizeh
which includes the great Pyramid, the
tomb of Cheops. Its perpendicular
height is 451 feet and its base length
is $50 feet. The Pyramids are built Of
taken from the hills on the opposite
bank of the Nile.
