BY ROBERT HERTzBERo

As can be seen from the illustra.
tons. the outfit Is an unusually simple
one. The circuit was designed by
Hessrs. Haviland Halsted and Donald
y. Stevens of New Rochelle and Its
efficiency can be judged r~o,s The fact

~>en Aona WD12 tube during the recent
transatlantic tests.
The parts required are few In num-
Der. A 23-plate vernler variable con-
denser IL used for the tuning. and an
ordinary varIometer supplies the re-
generation. The shaft of the latter In
strument is equipped with geared
vernier dial, which greatly facilitates
the adjustment. A standard tube
socket and six-ohm rheostat (for the
WD12) are mounted on the right-hand
end of the panel, which is of hlgh-qual-
ity composition, IS inches long and Z
wide. The variable condenser is
mounted inside the special tuning coil,
thus saving much space and making
the connecting wires very short.
The inductance coll is the feature OF
this receiver, but there Is nothing par
ticularly difficult about its winding.
The diagram gives all the constants.
A standard 4-inch cardboard or bake
lite tube 3 inches long is wound with
SO turns of No. "a double cotton COW
cred wire. The end nearest the panel
is the lower end In the diagram. The
lower switch shown In the latter is the
upper switch on the panel
Beginning at the end Of the coll
nearest the panel, a tap Is taken after
two turns, another tap after another
two turns. and then two more taps,
one turn apart. These four taps and
the end Of the coil go to the aerial
switch points. Skipping one turn from
the last tap. connection is made to the
ground, the plus Of the "A" battery,
and to the rotary plates of the variable
primary" and is untuned. as In all
Reinartz hookups.
Winding Is Continued.
The winding Is now continued with
out interruption for thirty-five turns,
and q tap taken at the thirty-flfth
wire. Fourteen more turns complete
the coil, and two more taps made, one
at the forty-second, the other from the
end Of the wire. This winding Is the
secondary" which Is tuned in the
usual manner by the variable con-
denser. The switch and Its three con-
tact points are beneath the primary |
switch on the panel. between the vari-
able condenser and the variometer.
The aforementioned potentiometer

the condenser-coil assembly. Only two

OUTFITS FOR SCHOOL GIRLS;
GEMS OF LOVELY MILLINERY

\ FTER plodding steadily through,
A what seems to them lifetime
of school work, the younger girls look
back on the school year and forward

I vernler dial is of great value In work
ing up to this point.
Tuning Is Very Sharp.
The tuning of the secondary vari
able condenser is very sharp and no
trouble Is experienced in separating
the powerful local broadcasters. In
hunting around for a station, the sin
gle-plate vernier condenser plate
should be left half In. Then, after
making as careful an adjustment as
possible with the main knob, the small
vernler knob can be slowly turned
either way.
To listen to the stations on the low
er wave lengths, the secondary switch
Is turned down so that the fewest
number Of turns are In the circuit. The
wave length range Will increase as the
switch is turned up. The setting Of
the primary switch will not be found
to be critical. In most installations
the switch arm can be left In one po-
sltion for all stations.
1t Is very important that the rotary
plates of the variable condenser be
connected to the filament and the
ground. This will do away with all
hand capacity effects when turning the
knob. If WD12 tube is used, the "a"
battery need only be pair of ordI-
nary dry cells connected in parallel,
and the "B" a single 221s-yolt block.
If UV199 or GOO Is preferred, three
dry cells are connected in SERIES and
a 30-ohm rheostat used. The "B" bat.
terry remains of the same value.
AS mentioned, the use of the poten-
tiometer In series with the aerial wire
prevents the set from radlating, or, at
any event, 1t at least acts as enough
of choke to make any oscillations
that do get by too weak to cause any
harm. In addition, it aids quite no
ticeably In clearing the tone of many
signas.-New York Sun and Globe.
