How to Build the Ideal Two.Tube
DIX Loud Speaking Set.
Part ~.

The mounting Of the instruments
on panel and Dashboard Is so simple
that it is not necessary to take up
space to describe the construction in
detail.
The c battery is placed in approx
mately the position shown and glued
to the Dashboard. One terminal OF
condenser II is slipped over the posi-
tive c battery post, as shown, thus
eliminating an extra connection be-
tween the two.
The assembled battery binding
post panel is mounted on the base
board so that when rectangular
hole the size Of the panel is cut into
the back Of the cabinet the outside
face of the binding post panel will
be flush with the outside face Of the
cabinet.
The wiring of the receiver is a
very simple matter. If the terminals
are connected together in the order
described herewith no trouble will
be experienced in wiring the receiver.
Sharp right-angle bends will give a
very neat appearance to the set,
although just as good results will
be obtained il connections are made
as direct as possible, bearing in mind
the fact that straight line is the
shortest distance between two points.
Remember, however, to keep grid and
plate circuit leads as far as possible
away from each other and from the
filament leads.

Now run a wire from the positive

The next step is to connect to-

and the e terminal of switch 8.
The A terminal of switch s should
be connected with the negative +

Next connect the D terminal of the
tuning unit 6 with the G. terminal o.
the socket "A and connect the sta
tionary plates terminal A of the
variable condenser 5 with this wire
thus connecting together all three
terminals.
Next connect the p terminal OF

The G. terminal of transformer Is
should be connected with the A ter
minal OF crystal detector 13.
The terminal of crystal detector

the p terminal of transformer II.
Next connect together the A ter
