1t can be seen from this list that
the amrerage drawn by the tilament
varies considerably, and the result IS,

One well-known radio manufacturer
has realized the fact that in building
set proper provision must be made
along these lines to take care of any
type tube which may be inserted into
the set. This was done by him by
using two separate rheoststs for each
tube, one having q high resistance
and the other Z low resistance. Either

The hree-honeycomb-c coil regenera-
tive receiver is considered among radio
fans to be one OF the best types of
sets for the beginner who eontemplates
going from the crystal detector to a
tube set. A slight modification of this
circuit is shown in the diagram. 1t
will be seen that two variable controls
are eliminated by substituting a fixed
primary coil coupled to the secondary.
and thereby doing away with the pri-
mary variable condenser. In this man
ner the honeycomb set Is made to
tune extremely sharp and easy to adj
just
The untuned primary coil is made
by wrapping 10 turns of No. % dec.
copper magnet wire in circle and
tying it to the secondary honeycomb
coil of 30 or so turns. This outside.
coil should be wound in the same dr.
rection as the secondary, to which it
Is fastened. The plate coil, which is
another honeycomb of about so or 75
turns, is connected in series with the
plate Of the detector tube and the tel
Hphone receivers. Around the receiv-
ers and the B battery the usual phone
condenser is connected. This conden-
ser is important, as it will assist in
regeneration.
The secondary coil to which the
primary is fastened, must be shunted
by good variable condenser. The
better the condenser the sharper the
set will tune and the louder the sta
lions will come in. The movable or
rotor plates of the variable condenser
of the p or 23-plate type connect to

rheostat was thrown into use at will
by means of small push switch.
The idea worked out well, and
brought much favorable comment. To
the radio constructors who wish to.
take advantage of this feature atten-
ton is called to the diagram and ii
will be seen that an additional unit
having resistance Of % ohms is con
nected directly on terminal of or
10-ohm rheostat, and a tap taken off
at this point and connection made to
one point Of two-point switch. The
other switch point is connected to the
remaining end of the resistance unit.
It can now be seen that when the
switch lever is thrown to the left the
resistance in the circuit has the low
value (6 to 10 ohms). and when
thrown to the right the total resist
ance Of the unit plus that of the rheo-
stat is in the circuit, and will now
protect the low fiiament tubes from
being burnt out on the six-volt bat
terry.
These resistance units may be pur-
chased in any radio shop.

the battery side of the circuit This
will help to eliminate "bady capacity"
effects. The stationary plates connect
with the grid condenser. If the con-
denser is of the metal-end type the
rotor plates will connect to the bat
terry side of the circuit and capacity
effects will be entirely eliminated
The grid condenser Is of the mica
type, ranging from 0005 to .00025.
The condenser should be shunted with
a grid leak of approximately 2 meg
ohms. If the set squeals too much
try another value of grid leak.
In tuning this circuit the tube is
lighted and turned up to the usual
brightness. The plate coil Is placed
close to the secondary coil, while the
variable condenser across the second
airy is slowly moved back and FORTH
This will pick up the stations within
the range Of the receiving set. More
careful adjustment is necessary to
clear up the music or voice, and this
is accomplished by moving the plate
coil to or from the secondary. If it
is found that the set tunes little
broad on local stations the primary
coil should be rewound with less turns.
If six turns are placed on the primary
it will tune great deal sharper than
with ten turns, but there viii be a
slight decrease in signal strength.
This makes an ideal receiving set and
is capable of picking up distant sta
lions. For the higher wave lengths
around 500 meters the secondary coil
may be increased to an l. T5.--New

Adjusting Earpieces

After using pair of receivers for
several months, it often happens that
one receiver works little louder than
the other. This may be due to one ear
piece losing magnetism In most
cases, simply tightening the cap on the
receiver will help great deal. II
this does net help, unscrew the cap
and turn the diaphragm over on the
other side and replace the earcap.
