Aerial Should Be Kept
Away From Other Metal

The efficiency OF an aerial depends
on its freedom from distractions,
mainly, and on It's length and height
The height OF an aerial is increased to
place It above distractions. and It's
length is increased to intercept more
energy from the passing wave.
Copper is the best metal to use in
an aerial. and It should be of wire not
smaller than No. Il gauge.
The wire should not be run parallel
to other wires or metal. II should be
in one piece. from the distant insulator
to the binding post Of the set
The lead-in wire should be kept
away from the side OF the building.
This wire Is part Of the aerial. and

Why Shielding of Sets
Is Worth Consideration

The general opinion Of the radio
constructor on the subject of shielding
Is that every stage or circuit should
be housed IN brass or copper case.
Technically speaking, this Is not cor
rect. fhe object OF shielding is 10
prevent coils from picking up energy,
I. e., powerful signals or static from
outside sources and to increase Sc
leetivlty.
This selectivity increase and inter
ference prevention by shielding Is best
accomplished by lncasing the entire
receiver In brass or copper case and.
by placing the induetanees In posi-
lions, with respect to their electro
magnetic fields. that make the coupling
between them zero or nearly so.
II Placing each unit, or stage IN
separate metal case increases the re-
slstance value. The result OF the re-
sistance increase is well known but
the inductance value decrease is prob
ably not as fully understood
When the inductance decreases II is
necessary to increase the capacity Of
the tuning condenser. This increase
In capacity In a circuit consisting es-
sentially of capacity and indnctnnce
decreases the voltage flowing In the
circuit. This type OF shielding is nee
essary with some circuits. but as
general rule should be avoided.
Though interstage shielding results
In extreme seleetiTity Il is necessary
to employ one more stage OF ampllfi-
cation to. make up for the loss In cir
cult efficiency due to the Increase in
circuit resistance md capacity.
