Shield Should Not
Touch Mounted Parts

When shielding the panel of receiy-
ers care should be taken to see that
the shield does not touch any Of the
parts mounted on the panel. A metal
shield, such as copper, brass, ETC., is
to be preferred to shield made of
tinfoil. The shield should be secure
ly fastened to the panel. Ordinary
cement used in mending broken dishes
is a good medium to hold the shield
to the panel. After the shield has
been thoroughly bonded to the panel,
a connection is then made to ground.
The connection to ground should by
all means be soldered or fastened Sc
curely in some other manner that will
make positive connection.

Some Practical Hints
for Busy CRYSTAL Fans

Crystals are becoming more and
more popular every day because Of the
increased number of broadcasting sta
tons. There Is hardly any point in the
United States. with the possible ex-
ception of the Northwest, that is with
out sufficient broadcasting establish
ments to enable crystal operations.
Within q radius of % miles crystal
receiver viii give very good satisfac-
ton If the proper aerial is used. A
lone crystal will not operate loud
speaker nor will 1t operate with loop
aerial. This is because 1t has no way
of amplifying the strength of the sig
nal passed to II for rectifcation- The
feeble current caught by the aerial Is
passed along to the crystal and is there
made audible. but that is all. The
application of these signals is posi-
Bile through the medium of an audio
frequency transformer, and an ampli-
flying tube with controls which require
the use OF filament and plate batteries

Spaghetti Tubing Should
Be Used to Cover Wires

Where the wiring of a set is close
and complicated spaghetti should be
used TO cover each wire. Spaghetti
or Empire tubing is made of vanished
cambric and can be obtained in va
riety of colors. Some fans prefer
using thin rubber tubing instead of
the spaghetti. The live rubber tubing
is no doubt better insulator, but
spaghetti is more popular because 1t
is cheaper and looks much better.
The variety of colors in which spa.
ghetti can be procured is another great
advantage. BY using different color
for each circuit, such as red for the
battery circuit, yellow for the primary
or aerial circuit, green for the second
airy circuit, ETC., the wiring will have a
neat appearance.

BY ARTHUR n. EDDY

If you engage yourself in converse
ton with the average amateur con-
corning his radio receiving set 1t will
not be long before he will bring up the
question Of maximum range of re-
ception, which would be the par,s-
mount topic of discussion. 1t Is thus
that we have grown into the habit Of
judging the relative merit Of a re-
ceiving set by the range that it can
cover, and although this method Of
judgment is not altogether fair and
just to all types of outfits, yet for the
average beginner or radio expert
menter 1t does form good basis of
quality. The standard range of the
regenerative receiver Is quite an un-
known quantity, for amateurs and ex-
and antenna conditions give very con-
flicting claims. But still, If we are
to base most of our claims on dis
lance, on everyday possibility of re-
ceiving a certain broadcasting sta
ton, it would be very near the truth
If we should limit the regenerative re-
ceiver to approximately range of 100
miles when using a rather sensitive
detector tube.
Most amateurs realizing this have
endeavored to augment this distance
by the use Of combination of audio
and radio frequency amplif1ers-in
other words, the reflex circuit With
the former type success was assured
where the sensitivity of the detector
was great enough to detect the signal,
but since the sensitive tube must be a
soft tube-that is, a tube that Kisses
at critical point-the number of
audio frequency stages Is somewhat
limited. To adapt radio frequency
amplificatfon to regenerative re-
ceiver after once 1t has been con-
structed Is by no means an easy task.
Yet some amateurs have not only ac-
complished this, but have obtained re-
markable results
For the vast majority of beginners
the true answer to the problem Of
building long distance receiver is not
the regenerative receiver with audio
and radio frequency amplifiers nor the
superregenerative receiver, but a re-
ceiver which Is a combination of au6lio
and radio frequency units In the cir
cult. This type of circuit will not only
have the desired range, but will be SO
compact that it will be readily port
able and so simple and efficient in its
operation that the beginner can oper-
ate it as satisfactorily as the expert.
Reflex is not new, but Is usually
described In peculiar ways with
peculiar names. This is at once an
evidence of evasion. for the simple
reason that at the end of the story
the whole thing will be found to be
the original reflex circuit.
A reflex set can be made from a
single tube and crystal detector, the
single tube serving for both audIo
and radio frequency application. If
1t is desired to operate loud speaker
we must resort to two or three tube
reflex circuit. Here the first two tubes
serve as radio amplifiers and audio am
pliers, with the crystal as detector.
The schematic diagram shows a num-
Der of two-tube reflex circuits.
If ampIifier tubes are used in all
stages the B battery should be regu-
lated so that the proper B battery
voltage is applied to their respective
plates. This is accomplished by ex-

pertinent. Usually between forty-five
and seventy volts are found best for
the plate voltage.
In the actual application of the cir
cults there are several difficulties to
be overcome. The tubes, for instance,
must be coupled for both radio and au-
dio frequency application, but placing
the audio frequency amplifier in cir
cult where radio frequency currents are
flowing, the windings Of the secondary
act as choke coil and prevent the
radio frequency currents from pass
ing. To overcome this condenser is
shunted around the windings so the
radio frequency currents may pass. 1t
is suggested that 301A tubes be used
in all reflex circuits, since this tube
responds to radio frequency currents
much better than others.
If this tube is used it would beSad-
visabIe to employ a 50-ohm rheostat
in the event that six-volt battery is
used.
The constructor attempting to build
either of these sets should not employ
direct regeneration. Once the tube
starts oscilIating the whole set may
become paralyzed due to the choking
of the tubes.
Different types If tubes have vari-
Gus effects with the transformers en-
ployed in the set. There are number
Of good radio frequency transformers
now on the market. At times it Is
best to employ a high ratio audio
transformer in the A. F. stage. With
this type Of set either loop or aerial
may be used. If the tube spills over,
reduce the values Of the capacity in
shunt to the secondaries Of the wind
ings of the transformers. In using the
301A tubes it will be found that most
of the tuning will be done by the use
of the rheostats, potentiometer and
condenser in shunt to loop.-New York

Tube Socket Contacts
Should Be Inspected

are placed in the set viii frequently
save lot of trouble later. If the
springs do not make good contact to

them after the socket is installed If

Proper Plate Voltage
Is Important Feature

Lack of signal strength, a fault
sometimes hard to locate. is frequent-
ly due TO the use of excessive plate
voltage on the detector, which causes
the tube to oscillate at too low a fla
ment temperature. Reduction of
plate voltage and increasing of fila
ment voltage will often solve this
problem.

Ampli6er in Separate
Cabinet Is Best Guess

build an amplifier, will do well to have

tector unit alone is functioning well,
it is just as well not to take chances
in rebuilding 1t into larger cabinet.
