The Reason for the Uncertainty
SpecifyinE Circuit C0nstants.

In reading the various articles on
set design and construction, many
fans have been puzzled by statements
Of this nature: You may find 1t
necessary to use a phone condenser
connected in the plate circuit of the
detector tube so. that it will bypass
the radio frequency currents across
the primary of the audio frequency
transformer. This may or may not
help, and the only way that you can
get the right constant is to try the
circuit without such a condenser. and
then try 1t with condensers of various
capacities until best results are OBJ
tanned" He may also have run across
such statements as after the set is
completed. you may find it necessary
to reverse the connections to the
of the audio frequency transformer
or to the secondary winding Of the
radio frequency transformer"
| Such statements tend to confuse
many fans and make them wonder
whether, after all, the man who
wrote the article really knows wha,
he Is talking about; raise doubts as
to whether the man actually con
structed the set and really got 1t &c
specify exactly the constants of the
various parts used in the circuit.
The reason why these suggestions
are given is to give the fan an idea
Of the troubles which he may expect
to find in his receiver, even If he has
followed instructions carefully, ant
to help him to overcome any diff
culties which may arise.
Radio Parts Vary.
Radio parts made by differen,
10 80, a.
by the same manufacturers, vary tc
some extent, so that a receiver made
with one set of parts will work like
a charm while another receiver. using
the same circuit but using differen,
parts, will not work satisfactorily.
Condensers, for instance, both fixed
and variable, do not always have the
constants which they are supposed 10
have; grid condensers and leaks also
vary 10 considerable extent: the
sizes of windings on different types OF
couplers and tuning instruments vary
considerably in different instruments
and the material of which the instru-
ments are made also affect the con-
stants of the parts.
With certain circuits il is impos-
sible to get set to oScillate unless a
| phone condenser is connected in the
| plate circuit; in other circuits the
| phone condenser makes practically nc
| difference, while in still other cir
| cults the use Of the condenser has a
| bad effect on the operation of the set
| The cause is due TO the difference in
constants of the tuning units, the cir
| cult arrangement and the type OF
| phones or transformers used in the
| circuit.
| The difference in tubes also has q
| marked effect on the operation OF
various circuits. Even tubes of the

same type often do not run uniform
SO that it Is necessary either to re-
place them or to resort to other
methods of making up for the char
acterfstics which they lack by diff
ferent circuit arrangements.
In some types Of audio frequency
transformers 1t Is impossible to get
clear reception unless certain
amount of capacity and resistance in
the form of fixed condensers and
leaks is connected across the sec
ondary windings Of the transformers
The results obtained with various
circuits depend to a great extent OF
the parts used in the circuit. Where
different parts than those used by the
author of the article are used, it is
obviously imposs to get the same
results in every case, and in some
cases good results can only be OBJ
tained with the various tricks OF
shifting connections and using proper
values of capacity inductance and re.
sistance in the places where they will
do the most good.
