erly, practically all the connections
can be made on the under side of the
panel. leaving only connections from
the variable condensers and tuning
units to be made on the top of the
subpanel.
Where connections between termi-
nails above the. subpanel and those
below 1t are necessary, holes can be
drilled in the subpanel and the neces-
sary leads can be run through such
holes.
Since the space below the subpanel
is clear to a considerable extent, the
wiring can be done on different lev
els with enough space to eliminate
any possibility of short circuits. If
No. IA wire is used the connections
to the various parts will serve to hold
1t as rigidly as required.
Even such seemingly minor parts
as soldering lugs require careful at
tention in their selection because they
can make a wiring job much simpler
than most fans suppose. How to Sc
lect and use soldering lugs in wiring
will be explained in tomorrow's ar
ticle.

The bakelite or hard rubber Sub
panel Is mounted on the top support
ing edges OF the panel indicated by A.
The whole subpanei assembly Is
mounted on the panel by the front
edges Of the brackets shown at B.
The bottom edges act as the base of
the whole assembly, while a strip
tached to the back of the brackets to
lugs, which do not show on the
brackets and can be used as a bind
ing post panel.
Another important feature which
such subpanel assembly makes pos
sible Is that Of concealed wiring.
When such a method is used, the
majority Of the socket terminals can
be reversed so that connections to
the socket terminals can be made
on the under side of the <subpanel.
The subpanel is raised two inches
above the bottom edge Of the front
panel 50 that 1t is possible to mount
most standard transformers sfdewise
under the subpanel with their bases
fastened to the front panel.
This gets tho usually bothersome
transformer connections below the
panel, and, with the jacks mounted on
the section of the front panel below
the subpaneL connection between
jacks and transformers becomes {.
very simple matter.
Other Ways to Simplify.
The connections between the trans
former G. terminals and the socket
terminals are also simplifed very
much. Connections from the Jacks to
the binding post terminals and from
the filament circuit to the, binding
posts are also simpiified considerably
