RHE0STAT RESISTANCE
EXPERIMENT PROBLEM
Voltage of "a" Battery and Nor
NAL Current the Tube Operators
Chief Factors.

The problem of determining the
correct resistance of sheostats often
confronts an experimenter who likes
to design and build his own equip
ment. The proper resistance to use
depends on the voltage of the "A"
battery and the normal current that
the tube operates on most satisfac-
torily.
For WD-11 and WD-12 tubes on
l n volts a 6-ohm rheostat is salts
factory.
For UV-2O0 or C-3CO tubes on 6
volts 6-ohm rheostat should be
used.
For single C-301a or Uv-201a tubes
or any a ampere tubes on volts a
30-ohm rheostat is proper
For two C-301a or UV-2O1a tubes
in parallel d 20-ohm rheostat will
suffice.
For four of these tubes in parallel
a 6-ohm rheostat will be sufficient.
For UV-199 or C-299 tubes on 41a
volts use 30-ohm rheostat
For 2l6a tubes use a 6-ohm rheo-
stat on volts.

FIFTEEN MINUTES OF RADIO EACH DAY
BY JOSEPH CALCATERRA,
Noted Authority on Radio.


The wave sent out by radio broad
casting stations is a continuous wave,
which is modulated by the voice cur
rent produced at the microphone and
superimposed on the continuous os-
cillation by a modulator system.
A continuous wave may be re-
ceived by producing a local oscilla-
tion at the receiving end and caus-
ing the local oscillation to react or
heterodyne with the received oscilla-
tion. If the local oscillation is of a
frequency somewhat different than
the received oscillation an audible
frequency will result from the inter-
action of the two oscillations, and
this beat note will be audible as q
high pitched whistle. If the fire.
quency of the local oscillation is
changed the pitch of the beat note
will be changed, and the whistle will
": of a different pitch.
Heterodyne Action.
This -heterodyne action can take
place when two broadcasting stations
are transmitting on wave lengths
which are only slightly different, so
that a beat note can be produced
which to the listener seems to be the
same as that produced by radiating
receiver. In such cases, however,
il is often possible to tell that it is
caused by interfering broadcasting
stations. because the note is constant
in pitch.
When the local oscillation is pro-
duced by the same tube that serves
as a detector. as is the case in a re-
generatiVe receiver, clear reception
takes place. When the local oscilla-
tion is of A different frequency d
heterodyne beat note is produced
which is heard as a squeal, which
changes in pitch as the receiver is
tuned so that the frequency of the
beat note Is altered

PUTS CURB ON BEGGARS.
of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
BERLIN, February 1S.-An effective
method of getting rid of professional
beggars has been devised by the Ber-
lin Women's Club. 1t has issued
books of coupons in denominations of
and 10 pfennigs. which Berlin fam
lilies can purchase with a view to
handing these meal checks to beg
gars.
The beggar takes them to the mu-
nicipal district welfare Office of his
district, whereupon he is given a free
meal. At the same time his case is
looked into by district welfare work
ers. Professional beggars never come
again to a house in which they re-
ceive a meal check instead of cash
In fact, the sign furnished to such
families for display end reading,
Aims are here given only in the
form of meal checks" is usually
enough to scare them away.

with call letters KFWA? If SO. please
give it's wave length and power.-N
r. c.
KFWA is a newly licensed station in
Ogden. 1t transmits on a 214.2-meter

amplifier, and it works well except for a
continuous whistle. Can you tell me how
to eliminate this whistle? 1t is not OBJ
would like to know how to do it.
HENRY J. ARBUCKLE.
You probably have your transformers
spaced too closely together. Try placing
them 2 inches apart, with the two cores
turned at right angles to each other. An
other precaution you might try is to
place .00025 mid. fixed condenser
across the secondary terminals of the
first transformer and variable grid
leak across the secondary terminals of
the second transformer. If you try one
or all of these you will be able to get
rid of all whistling sound and tune in
the signals by themselves.
