ground wire should be connected with
the aerial terminal of the set.
In its essentials the Controllodyne
circuit is very similar to most five
tube tuned radio frequency circuits.
Its remarkably high efficiency when
used in "a receiver comes from the use
of high-quality parts and two impor-
tant controlling features. The high
resistance radiohm used in the plate
circuits of the two radio frequency
stages as an oscillation control en-
abies the circuit to be adjusted to the
best possible point of operation over
the whole wave length range.
The three-reading tilament volt
meter permits accurate and independ-
ent adjustment of the filaments of the
tubes to their best operating points.
The use of this voltmeter is a fea-
ture which is not to be found in many
circuits. By its use you can first eX-
pertinent until you find the point at
which the various tubes function best.
After that you can always adjust the
filament voltage in those tubes to their
best point by taking voltage read
ing. The setting of the rheostat in
dicator is not an accurate indicator
of the applied voltage because Of the
varying condition of the "A" battery
voltage, under varying conditions of
charge and usage.

Where to Start PuzzIing-AIl

Having once taken hold among the
broadcasters attending the fourth an

eliminating some of the present broad
casters from the crowded ether has
become a. boom. but so far the only
decision OF the average delegate Is
that the ak should fall on the other
fellow.
The chances are that the present
convention will not make any radical
recommendations for wedding out the

pect Of such an eventuality is un-
doubtedly giving concern and bring
Ing an element of fear to many OF
the smaller class A stations.
Already several owners of A plants
have gone on record with their claims
to being public service broadcasters
and are eyeing some of their more
powerful class B brethren with a look
of distrust.

held the close attention or the dele

The only concrete proposal where

BUDGET FOR ROAD
BOARD PROTESTED
FopoSal Seen as Danger to
Good Highways

Proposal to place the Indiana State
highway commission under the bud
get requirements is viewed by some
good roads enthusiasts as a scheme
to revert part of the money from
the gasoline tax and automobile Ii
censes to the general fund, it was
learned today.
Such reversion would aid in lift
ing the $4,000 debt now on the
general fund, and would tend to
give Ieeway for reduction Of the
state tax rate at the expense OF
highways, it is pointed out.
The exact amount Of the gasoline
tax and automobile licenses collected
annually cannot be known in adj
vance. Placing the highway depart
ment under the budget system, then,
would mean that. the appropriation
could be fixed and that if the tax
exceeded the appropriation, 1t could
be reverted to the general fun, or
remain unused.
The commission now operates
under it's own budget system. Any
attempt to change its operations will
be met with stubborn opposition
from Legislators enthusiastic about
Indiana roads, it is understood.
