Humble Socket Is
Important to Set
Attachment Should Be
Made of Best Material
Contact Springs.

The humble socket, used to hold the
vacuum tube and to provide the means
Of making an electrical contact be-
tween the prongs of the tube and the
rest Of the circuit, receives less atten-
ton from the radio fan than it should
The socket should be carefully
scrutinized. for it is at this point that
the plate and grid wires and filament
leads come very. close to each other.
If the socket is made of poor insulat-
ing material these currents will leak
across the base between the binding
posts, and become lost The volume
and distance of the receiver will suffer.
Nothing less than bakelite should be
used
Do not accept q socket made Of ma
terial that can be easily cut with
knife, or will leave black mark when
rubbed across piece Of white paper.
Material that will do this has lamp
black in it, which is very poor in
sulating substance. AS rule this
class Of material will melt under the
heat Of a soldering iron.
Of next Importance are the contact
springs. Poor contact springs cause
great deal of the noise that is attrib-
uted to static Due to the short dis
lance available on the inside Of
socket, and the need for keeping the
dimensions of the socket as small as
possible, the contact spring must neces
sarily be short. Due to the shortness
Of the spring, most Of the sockets at
present are unsatisfactory, because the
springs become permanently bent.
This requires frequent bending back
into their former position so that q
good contact can be obtained with the
prongs of the tube.
One manufacturer has solved this
problem by making the spring longer,
then bending the tip Of the spring
backwards and upwards This elimi-
mates the short leverage on the spring,
allowing it to bend In two places.
Springs are made Of phosphor bronze
and always keep frm upward pres
sure against the tube prong.
The socket should also be non-micr0-
phonic. In receiver which uses ordi-
nary sockets, loud ring will be heard
whenever the set is Jared. Often re-

Poor Connections in
Jacks Cause Trouble

Sometimes a set will cease function
ing or will function poorly on the last
stage of audio-frequency application
This is almost always due to a poor
connection in the jack that precedes
the last stage or in one of the pre-
ceding jacks in other stages.
If you have this trouble, look in be-
tween the small silver contacts in the
jacks and notice whether or not they
close properly when the plug is with
drawn from them. Sometimes the
springs weaken and do not allow them
to close as they should.
The remedy is tC take out the jack
and bend the offending spring beck
into position, and then to replace the
jack.

Winter Weather Hard
on AeriaIs and Grounds

Because winter storms mean heavy
strains on aerial and ground installa-
lions, it is good idea to make a
thorough inspection Of the outdoor
wiring system. See If the guy wires
holding the aerial masts and the aerial
wires in place are all taut and tight.
Look over all soldered connections
and try to determine if they have be-
come corrOded

the elements of the tubes vibrating.
To cure this, many set builders
