bring in very distant station against
many difficulties, you can spare the
tube unnecessary wear by increasing
gradually the amount of current for
the filament. The danger of burning
out the tube is practically confined to
the filament, but It is true that the
more b current you have on the
plate of the detector tube, let us say,
the more negative electrons will be
snatched from the filament wire and
the sooner the tube will lose its
efficiency.
Suggests Changing Tubes.
"It is common error to think the
tube is dying out when the trouble
is in the prongs that form the
electrical connections with the socket.
After many months of use these are
apt to become dirty. 1t depends upon
the climate in which the set is
operated and the conditions under
which 1t is used. But if the prongs
are not making good contact, of
course, reception will be interfered
with. I have even seen cases where
a tube fitted into one socket much
better than another, and with better
results. 1t seldom does any harm to
change the tubes around.
You'll notice that whenever YOU
have a station on the loudspeaker in
good order, you usually can decrease
the current to the tubes. 1t may be
just a few degrees on the rheostats,
but it may mark the difference be.
tween needing few new tubes on
Monday night instead of Saturday.
Finally, there are tubes that are
worn out before you get them. That's
where you rely on the honesty of
your dealer, unless you are an expert
and have a means of testing the
milliampere output Of the tube. which
is the measure of energy flowing from
the plate Of the tube under conditions
at which the tube will normally
operate. I could easily fool YOU by
increasing the b battery voltage
above 90 volts or the grid potential
from the &C. battery beyond Az volts
while making the test"
Smith began to feel that he had
made friend in his dealer, which
any experienced radio fan will admit
is a landmark in the process of
getting on In radio.

WGY ISSUES SCHEDULE
OF BROADCAST TESTS
Seven Hours This Week to Be De-
voted to Low and High Power
Experiments.

Approximately seven hours will be
utilized this week by WGY, at Sche
nectady, in conducting it's comparative
experiments of broadcastinG on low
and high power, 1t was announced
yesterday. Added to this period of
experimentation will be the four and
half hours, which were to have been
used last night
Two hours and a half will be con-
sumed tomorrow night, beginning at
$50, eastern standard time, and four
and a half hours on Tuesday night.
beginning at the same hour. AS pre-
viously announced, WGY will alter
nate its so and its 212 kilowatt trans
mitters, so that a definite comparison
may be made between normal and
superpower.
Officials of WGY offer the follow
ing QUESTIONABLE for use by those
willing to assist in the work.
4. Did you receive WGY on both
the high and the low power? 2. What
was the comparative strength OF the
signal with the high and the low
power? 8. What was the comparative
quality of sound of the speech or
music with the high and low power?
4. Comparative interference from
other stations on the high and low
power. Give names of stations. s..
Comparative interference from static
on the high and low power? 6. Com
parative interference from electrical
noises and similar disturbances on the
high and low power. Z. Comparative
amount of fading or signal intensity
fiuctuation on the high and low power.
8. Comparative ability to tune out
WGY on the high and low power and
receive other stations. 8. Was weather
clear or stormy"
Several hundred thousands of re-
plies from all sections of the United
States are expected to be received
from the test and all of these will be
compiled into definite data on the COM
parative merits of high and low power.
In addition to the regular radio fans,
who will take part in the test. all of
the Government radio supervisors,
scattered throughout the United
States will study the effect Of the
broadcasts on their apparatus.

Such effects are produced not only
by the metal supports of the coil. but
also by the wire which forms the coil
and by metal objects, such as trans.

placed closer to the coils.
The resistance effects of metal OBJ

been minimiZed in the toroidal form

In this type of coil the magnetic

No. 90. The Life of a Tube.

The next time Smith had occasion
TO inquire about a new radio accessory
he took advantage of the dealers Of
fer to explain how to make tubes last
longer.
died carefully so as not to break the
filament." Smith began, but, aside
from restricting the use of a set, 1
don't see how 1 can lengthen the life
of tube materially"
That is probably because you do
not know exactly what goes on inside
one of these tubes" the dealer sug-
gested.
"Oh, yes l dor' Smith assured him.
i've had all that explained to me.
Negative electronS are attracted from
the lighted filament TO the positively
charged plate. The antenna cur
rent impressed upon the grid in the
tube controls the electronic flow and
thus gives the same values, but on a
magnifed scale, in the stronger cir
cult"
"All very good" the dealer agreed.
THAT is a popularity accepted theory,
but how does the filament of the tube
give up negative electrons indefinitely,
and what is to prevent one from seek
ing some way of reversing the flow
and Of restoring the tube to normal
condition when the set is not being
operated?"
Smith thought this out while the
dealer administered to the needs of a
new radio fan who insisted upon ask
ing for grid condenser. Condensers.
as the dealer explained, take their
name from the places where they are
used, but that in buying them they are
merely either fixed condensers" or
variable condensers.'
That settled, Smith told the dealer
of a scheme suggested to him by a
friend.
"He said" Smith explained, that
II 7 would reverse the current to the
tubes, or something on that order, the
tube would run backwards for a while
and bring itself up to par again.
Your friend was trying to give you
some trouble the dealer replied.
INV advice would be to leave the
wires alone; that Is, until you are
little more experienced. The binding
nosts on YOUR set are rather close to-
pether. IL I remember rightly, and
that means that you would be running
the risk Of touching b battery wire
TO the post for the tube filaments. IL
wouldn't be a case of coming in here
for information then, but OF coming IN
to buy a. new set of tubes. You should
get a tube rejuvenator and do the Joo
properly. The rfght lnslruIheH. ~,
this work is insurance against spoil-
ing fair tubes in trying to make them
better.
But we're talking merely about
bringing back a tube after 1t Is pretty
we'll worn out. / don't want you 10
think this covers the whole subject.
Before you need a rejuvenator you
need some hints on how to be kind to
your tubes. Every time you operate
the set you have an opportunity 10
prolong their lives.
"It is obvious that the less current
you send into the tubes. the longer
they will last, and what little current
YOU send to them you should he care
full to apply gradually. l haven't any
patience with the man who will leave
his set one evening with the rheostats
way up and then the next evening
when he starts off plug in for the full
current load.
IF you have to do some intensive
work with the set. such as trying to
