The Inductance CoiI-The Soul of the
Radio Circuit. Part I.

The vacuum tube has often been re-
ferred to as the heart of the radio cir
cult because of its Importance in the
working of any radio receiver. There
are many types of tubes, audfo trans
formers, sockets, condensers and other
necessary parts of radio apparatus,
but these are more or less standard
lied pieces of equipment which can be
used in most radio circuits. The true
efficiency of a radio receiver or circuit
lies in the proper selection and ar
rangement of the coils which go to
make up the tuning elements and ra-
dio frequency transformers of the sys-
tenn.
Practically every new circuit has its
foundation on some new adaptation of
the inductance coil principle. II may
be a new type of tuning element or
radio frequency transformer that per-
mits of. maximum energy transfer
from one circuit to another; it may be
a new arrangement of coils which
brings the selectivity of the receiver
to a. point which permits the reception
of distant stations through the most
powerful local stations; it may be the
application of an entirely new princi-
ple of electromagnetic field disposition
which eliminates distortion, clears up
the signals and brings the quality of
reception to the best possible level.
Changes Slight i'm Efficiency.
The changes may be nothing more
than those of slight arrangement of
the coils or they may be revolutionary
changes involving entirely new princi-
pies of construction, but in each case
q. betterment of performance Is the
goal which is aimed at. In many
cases the changes increase the overall
efficiency of the set, while in other
cases certain qualities are sacrificed
to obtain other more desirable charac-
teristics.
One of the first methods of tuning
used in radio circuits were the types
known as single-slide and double-slide
tuning coils.
These consisted simply of coils
wound on cardboard, bakelite or hard
