Dry Cells Must Have
Most Careful Treatment

Dry cells which are used to light
vacuum tubes in radio sets do not
last forever. and too much must not
be expected of them. If any length
of service Is desired, the drain must
be light, for dry cells simply cannot
furnish even a moderately heavy cur
rent for more than few minutes.
They will "po!arize" quickly If more
than the safe current is drawn, and
the voltage will fail Off considerably.
The batteries must then be dlscon-
nected and allowed to stand for a
short time.
Two ordinary six-inch dry cells
should be allowed for one WD11 or
WD12, while three are satisfactory for
one. two, or three UV109's. Under
ordinary conditions, they will then be
useful for six weeks or two months.
If the set is operated infrequently,
they undoubtedly will last longer. Bat
teries are known to have been in serv-
Ice for as long as six months, but
this Is unusual.

Crystal Detector
Stand Is Novelty
Compass or Divider ID Used
as Movable Arm and Pres
sure Regulator.
5y r. E. GERlIARDT

present, In this article, an interest
ing wrinkle which has proved sntis.
factory In actual use. Essentially de.
signed for gnlenn or silicon, this stand
provides close regulation of the de.
gree Of pressure on the crystal. The
Importance Of this feature IL not TO be
overlooked II maximum efficiency is
desired. When completed, the stand Is
placed on a solid base out of the way
SO that when once adjusted, movement
Of the receiver or accidental jars will
not affect the adjustment. 1t would be
well in building crystal receiver, to
keep this point in mind
As may be seen In the diagram.
compass or dvider is used as the
movable arm and pressure regulator.
Secure good compass; cut off one
leg at the point Indicated and bore
two holes for the Insertion of the
plvot-contact. The arm may be cut off
with good hacksaw or sharp file and
should be rounded Off to avoid acc.
dentally scratching oneself. The holes
are to be cut with sufficient diameter
to pass an 1888 round.headed nickel
machine screw. For crystal cup
have used an old battery carbon
terminal, although purchased cup
will not cost much and presents
neater appearance. If desired, the
holder may be made after the build
er's own Ideas. A clip is sometimes
employed with good results. As the
size Of the compass will vary from
that which / nm using, the exact dis
lance between the swivel and cup can
not be given; however, the correct

Crystal Detector. Easy and Uni.

space Is easily ascertained and should
De marked on the base for drilling.
Hardwood, fiber, bakelite, rubber Or
other good insulating material may be
used for the base, the size of which
will depend upon the type of compass
employed. Secure heavy piece and
after the stand is assembled, 1t would
be well to glue thick layer of soft
felt to the under surface. The felt
will serve the dual purpose of prevent
Ing harm to polished tables and will
allow the absorption Of slight shocks
and jars. 1 have used a piece of old
storage battery jar for the base and
after shining 1t up, was very pleased
with It.
To assemble the instrument, 1t is
necessary to drill two holes at one end
for binding posts and two holes for the
detector cup and adjusting arm. Use
a good grade of well.insulated wire for
connections and be sure that all points
are soldered. For the cat-whislSer, a
No. % bare copper wire will give as
good results as any. In actual use,
the end Of the wire touching the
mineral should always be Clean
1t is not necessary, contrary to opin-
lon, to wash the crystal every week or
so, or to wash 1t every day as advised
by some. The daily tub in no way
adds to the efficiency Of the detector,
as trial will conclusively prove. If
the dust Is blown from the mineral
surface every day, the unit will func.
ton satisfactorily.
If 1t appears as though the senstiv-
ity Of the mineral has faded, new
surface may be scratched with knife.
Either unmounted or mounted crystals
give satisfaction with this stand. In
general, keep the mineral as small as
possible to allow only a short sep
aration between the point of cat
whisker contact and the holder. This
Is said after the fact has been
learned that most large crystals are
sensitive" near the edge. The sta
tionary contact should be made to
cover as large portion Of the unused
surfaces as posslble.-Radio News.

Radio Experimenters
Must Have Good Tools

After one becomes interested in re-
ceiving broadcast concerts and the nov
city of just listening wears Off the ex-
perimental bug usually gets head
lock on most every one, and then
comes the time when the new and sen
satlonal hookups are tried. Now in
order that these diagrams may be
properly constructed into sets there
are certain tools that should be used
and that should be always at hand
The first is the soldering iron. This
should be preferably an electric iron.
Because 1t will stay hot and one can
solder twenty or thirty wires at the
same time without running from the
stove to the set all the time. Then
some soldering fux and some strip
solder. Never use acid core solder,
Rosin core solder is the best, but 1t
takes much practice before II Is pos.
slble to use 1t.
Next would be few pairs Of pliers.
The Hrst pair to be bought is pair of
combination cutting, pressure and jaw
pliers. These are the most handy
things for any kind of work. Then
comes pair of cutting pliers. These
should be fairly small so that one
can cut In tight corners.
A pair of fiat pliers with long nose
Is the next accessory These are
handy In most any ticklish position.
Then comes the round nose pliers for
making loops In the wire to fit over
bolts or binding posts.
