Make Rheostat Serve in
Place of Potentiomcter
Bv JULIUS PHILLIPS

Wherever a potentiometer is used
there is a constant drain Of current
from the "a" battery, even when the
set Is not in use This is particularly
true when a potentiometer Of low re-
sistance Is employed. To overcome
this, an "a" battery switch may be
inserted In one of the filament leads to
disconnect the battery from the set
when not in use. This switch, however,
is not necessary and can be eliminated.
Only one side of the potentiometer is
connected to the battery, the other
side going to one terminal OF the rheo-
stat. When the rheostat Is turned to
the "off" position. the potentiometer Is
also disconnected. The extra resist
ance Of part Of the rheostat is added
to that Of the potentiometer, but as
this is only one or two ohms and as
the rheostat Is varied very little after

BY THOMAS w. BENSON

The principle Of neutralized tuned
radio frequency amplifcation Is util-
lied In the circuit given In the at.
tached Illustration to form a receiver
that is nonradiating, selective, has
good range and volume and Is easy to
build and operate.
The most interesting part Of the cir
cult is the method of constructing the
1nductances and the source Of the cur
rent used to prevent oscillations In
the circuit. 1t will be noted that two
fnductances are shown In the diagram
shunted by .0005 MID condensers for
tuning. These inductances are termed
amplifofmers and are made from rs
turn honeycomb coils in the following
manner:
Take 75-turn coll and strip of 2
turns, then count back Is turns on
the coil and carefully raise the wire
and take tap; this tap is lettered G.
Now count back Is more turns and
make another tap, B. 1t is not neces-
sary to unwind the coils to take these
taps. The coils are then clamped be-
tween two pieces Of bakelite 2h
inches square In which have been
drilled holes to mount terminal posts.
