High Explosives Put
Through Severe Test

The new high explosives, which
found their first large scale use dur
ing the great war. are "insensitive"-
[. e.. reluctant to go off. So markedly
30. indeed, that they are as safe to
handle as cornmeal or baking powder.
This quality is extremely important,
inasmuch as it makes them easy to
deal with. To make them explode, a
fuse is used.
They are mostly coaltar products.
From coal tar are obtained benzine
and toluene, which are converted into
high explosives by treating them with
nitric acid. L n T is an example.
High explosives purchased by the
United States government are tested
to determine their degree of sensi-
tiveness.. Samples of them are set up
and fired at with a rife. If the i'm
pact of the bullet sets them off. they
are considered unsafe and are re-
jected.

The most revolutionary principle de-
veloped in radio-tuning devices in the
last year is the aperiodic coupler.
This is one in which q few turns Of
I wire is substituted for the customary
variable condenser and tapped coil pri-
mary. Its benefits are manifold. The
new three-circuit set that has enjoyed
the limelight this season along with
the superheterodyne owes its excep
tional properties entirely to the aperi-
odic primary. Aside from this II was
nothing but an old single circuit
blooper.
The set shown Is an old circuit to
which has been adapted an aperiodic
primary that is semi-adjustable so as
TO control the degree of selectivity.
With but little effort this principle
can be adapted to any Of the old
style circuits.
Ordinary Parts.
The parts used are the ordinary va
riable condenser of .OO05 capacity or
% plates and a variocoupler either of
the 90 or 1S0-degree variety. This last
fcations that will be given.
The basic circuit is that of the orig
inal De Forest Ultra audion and has an
excellent range, volume, and tonal
quality. In its original form it was
susceptible to radiation, and therefore
was undesirable as an up-to-date re-
ceiver. In its new form practically all
radiation is eliminated if the tube is
kept below the oscillating or live point.
The set when finished is capable of
satisfying the most critical fan on the
points of selectivity, as 1t can be ad-
justed to any degree so that 1t can
tune out powerful nearby interference
or broadened for distance when there
Is little interference.
Parts Required.
The tuning units and construction
material utilized in building the
aperiodic set are:
One variocoupler Especial winding). !
One .0OO5 or 23-plate variable con-
denser.
One by 9 panel.
One rheostat.
One socket.
One plunger-type variable grid leak.
One .OOO25 grid condenser

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result o1 kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bitien, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store,
may be just the remedy needed to over
come such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle
Immediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure
and mention this paper.

ing posts, etc.
Good parts, of course, tend toward
making the set more efficient, the
most important being the variable con-
denser which should be Of the low-loss
type grounded metal and plates con-
nected to the rotor.
The aperiodic coupler is made up of
three separate windings, one of so
turns and one of u turns on the stator
Of the coupler. and other of II turns
on the rotor. The 5O-turn winding and
12-turn are spaced about Is of an inch
apart. The rotor winding Is exactly
in the center Of the rotor ball or tube.
The two 12-turn coils are connected to
ton and form the aperiodic primary
The 50-turn coil Is the secondary and
is tuned by the variable condenser
which is shunted across 1t. Wind the
coils tightly and fasten the ends OF
the wire firmly. About No. "a gauge
double silk or double cotton-covered
wire should be used throughout. The
connection between the 12-turn stator
and rotor coils should be made with a
piece of flexible Litzendraught of null
ti-strand flexible wire. Do not use the
frame or bearing, as a friction contacr
is noisy at the best.
Mounting.
Mount the coupler and variable COZ
denser on the two opposite sides of
the panel about three or four inches
apart. Care should be taken when
wiring to make all leads as shown and
direct as possible disregarding square
corners. Note the lead from the sec
ondary to the plate connection This
is in no way connected to the fla
ment or ground.
Any type of vacuum tube works eff
fectively. Use a rheostat of the prop
er ohmage and As volts of "B" bat
terry on 100 and 201-A types, 221a volts
on WD-1 and II, and UV-2OO types
The grid leak being flexible can be
adjusted for any tube.
The tuning control is the variable
condenser. This logs and the settings
are permanent for all stations. The
rotor of the coupler is solely for the
purpose of controlling selectiyity.-

How Taps on Coils
Will Aid in Tuning

Tapped connections to coils are
made to provide a step-by-step vari-
alton in the number of turns. The
more common use of the tapped switch
is In connection with the primary
where the aerial is made more respon
sive TO a high or low wave by the posi-
ton of the switch.
In the aerial circuit the switch con
trolls the primary coil by terminals con-
Meeting from every fifth turn of the
coil to a tap or metal button. the
aerial connecting to the switch arm
and the ground to one end of the coil.
Regarding the aerial and ground as
the plates of fixed condenser Of
capacity equal to that of grid con
denser, or 0O025 microfarads, which II
actually is, II is seen that IL Is neces-
sary to add certain number of turns
to the coil to make IT tune to given
wave length.
Tuning in the secondary Is accom-
plished by fixed coil and a variable
condenser, and In the primary coil in
ductance The result is practically the
same If one or the other Is varied. but
both may not be fixed TO obtain eff
cheney. The fixed primary is compro-
mise TO simplicity.
