The Fundamentals of Radio Plate
Circuits.
Part I.
The plate circuits Of various types
of detector and amplifier circuits are
no more difficult to understand than
the filament. grid and antenna cir
cults OF tho various types of receiv-
ing circuits.
Before going on to an explanation
of the various types of plate circuits
1t will be well to review and explain
the function of the plate circuit in
a radio receiving circuit.
The plate circuit of a tube is the
real source of the power which makes
1t possible to hear the very weak

signals that are collected by the an
tenna.
The grid circuit of a detector tube,
for instance, contains the weak en-
ergy impulses which are transferred
to it from the antenna system, but
in most cases, with the exception Of
signals from nearby stations. the en-
ergy received is not sufficient to pro-
duce an audible response in pair
of phones.
1t is only when a powerful station
is located close to a receiving station
that reception with crystal detector
can be accomplished. using the en-
ergy actually received to operate the
phones.
Response Is Weak.
Even in such cases when reception
is accomplished the response obtained
is very weak, in most cases being only
of sufficient strength to operate the
phones and produce an audible re
sponse, but not sufficient 10 operate
loud speaker.
The function of the vacuum tube,
then, is to provide means of auXil-
liary current in such a way that it is
under the control of the weak energy
impulses in the energy collector.
In its amplfying function the
vacuum tube acts in the same way
as a telegraph relay, except that in
stead of merely reproducing dots and
dashes by breaking and making the
electrical circuit in perfect syncho-
nism with the received impulses the
vacuum tube reproduces faithfully
every slight variation of the received
radio currents, which have been
modulated by the voice currents at
the transmitting station.
An explanation of the simple
mechanism of the telegraph relay will
help you to understand the function
of the vacuum tube as an amplifier.
diagram of a relay circuit is
shown below.
The whole system really consists
of two duplicate systems containing
key or means of making and break

current, an electromagnetic and an

Mr.. Perine in reply to his letter and
suggested Tuesday, January 20, as a
convenient date and stated in the
meantime Id get in touch with Mr.
Goodall and ask him up also. Mr..
Briggs and tonight Mr.. Mills seem
TO have jumped at another conclusion.
My statement was definitely that "our
young amateurs are in general a fine
lot of chaps, who stay off the air. or
the broadcast wave band, when they
are supposed to-" l might elaborate
somewhat and state that L had not in
mind licensed amateurs as a possible
cause of interference.
l asked sincerely for help. and, as
was Mr.. Massey's case, about all my
letter evoked has been abuse so far
What is Mr.. Briggs objection to
the publication of the names of Of
tenders? And suppose they do hap
pen TO be Government stations? Does
not that make it all the easier for
our very good friend Mr.. Hoover to
say a word?
Mr.. Briggs reports the following
wave lengths, emitting compensating
waves: NAA, 557, 3O2, 541, 504, 337
and 800; MSS. SOS, AL, 413, 557, 456,
449 and 343. ] am extremely ignorant
as to radio. but might l express an
opinion that these sets are badly in
need of tuning. Or can it be Mr.
Briggs set? L hardly dare harbor
such a thought even after my many
call downs"
Anyway, Friend Briggs, we are
