battery of 80 volts draws about 6
milliampheres without a c battery
and about milliampheres when AZ

The current drawn by fiye-tube

without a c battery and will be cut
down to about 10 to Is milliampheres
if a G battery is used.
Current i'm Lamp Explained.
A 25-watt, 110-volt tungsten lamp
has very low resistance when cur
rent of that low amperage is flowing
through 1t as is the case when the
battery is properly connected in the
plate circuit Of the set with the lamp
connected in series in the circuit di-
rect1Y next to the negative h battery
terminal. If. however, the high-volt-
age B battery is connected across the
fllament circuit. so that the current
draw is increased considerably, the
lamp lights up because of the heat
generated in the filament Of the lamp
and it's resistance increases sufficiently
to protect the filament of the vacuum
tubes in the circuit.
The lamp method is very chea .
way of getting the required protection.
The principle of the increase Of resist
ance Of a tungsten filament with in
crease in current flow has been used in
a commercial tube protector which
consists of small lamp in q. suitable
mounting which can be connected in
tthe negative B battery lead.
The greatest advantage, aside from
the saving OF h battery current of
the lamp method over the resistance
method is the fact that the lamp fur
nishes A clear indicator Of a wrong
connection Immediately. You can tell
that something is wrong just as soon
as the lamp lights up.

Unusual events have been arranged
for this series. The first concert Will
present Is of the Irving Players, Theo-

plays, interpolated by numbers played
by Carol Robinson. the pianist. The
plays to be presented are: The Leap
Year Girl" by John Stokes; Values. ;,
by Ruth Giorloff, and the Real
Thing" by John Kendrick Bangs.
Two of the plays are comedies and
the third of a more serious nature.
The Irving Players were organized by
Theodore Irvine, author of books on

and for the discovery and preSenta-

are being specially rehearsed for the

How to Prevent Burned-Out Tube
E'ilalnelltS. Part Ill.

Very often there is a consider
able advantage to be gained in making
adjustments and changing connections
very quickly without disturbing the
battery connections or taking the
trouble to remove the tubes from their
sockets. 1t is rather bothersOme to
have to disconnect batteries and all
other outside connections when 1t is
just as easy to leave all the wires
connected and fool around with con-
nections, even to the point of connect
ing the B battery across the filament
lead without taking any chances that
the tubes will burn out.
One method uses a high resistance
in the plate circuit of the set. the re.
sistance being inserted in the mega
tive lead of the 4 battery close to the
negative lead. While such a resist.
ance acts as an effective protector
against burning out the filament
through an accidental connection of
the B battery across the filament
terminals the high resistance in the
plate lead consumes B battery current
needlessly.
Changes Resistance.
The ideal protection would be af-
forded by a substance whose resist
anCe could be automatically varied
with the amount of current flowing in
he circuit. There are certain sub
stances. notably tungsten, of the type
that is used in the ordinary tungsten
lamp for lighting purposes. that has
the peculiar property of Offering a
very low resistance when a small cur
rent is flowing through il, but of
quickly changing it's resistance when q
heavy current is made to flow through
il.
