FOR THE NOTEBOOK

Music ranks first as broadcast
feature.
A piano makes an excellent indoor
aerial.
The prices Of radio sets range
from $14 to $4,000.
Stranded bare copper wire is gen.
orally more suitable for the aerial,
and one wire is enough.
A permanent magnet will retain
its magnetism a long time if piece
of steel is kept across the poles.
The range of a receiving set
should be based on the distance
heard at any night at all under any
atmospheric condition.
Shield the back of the dials to
overcome body capacity. The tin
foil should be grounded to the rotor
of the condesner, or the ground wire.
A poor ground connection may
cause a high loss of selectivity be-
cause of the increased resistance of
the aerial circuit, which broadens
tuning.

consider the present state of the
science, which Is really as yet more
or less in the experimental stage.
Choice is Wide
For the building OF the coil units
we have a large field OF different
types Of magnet wire to select from:
Plain enameled, single cotton COW
cred, double cotton covered. single
silk covered, double silk covered.
cotton covered enameled, and silk
covered enameled wire.
The plain enameled wire formerly
was one OF the most popular types
for winding OF the earlier and
simpler types Of coils. 1t was soon
found, however. that the disturbed
capacity in coils wound with this
type was extremely bothersome. The
plain enameled wire has, therefore.
been discarded almost entirely for
this purpose and the demand is now
for the textile covered wires. The
best results are obtained when u.s.
ing the double cotton covered or
double silk covered types. This does
not, however. apply to certain types
of r. F. transformers or A. F.
transformers where enameled wire
is used exclusively. In such coils
the space factor is of extreme inn
portance and it is not practical for
the fan to attempt to wind these
coils with the ordinary means at
his disposal. The number of turns
in ali audio frequency transformer.
for example, run as high as 10000.
The high frequency tLitzl cable

Spaghetti Insulators

TO secure ends of the wire on mar
row coils, drill three holes a little
larger than the diameter of the wire
used Through one of these draw
the end Of the wire and put a piece
OF stiff spaghetti over it. Now bend
the spaghetti over and thread the
free end of the wire through the
small holes, forming one or more
loops around the spaghetti

ing,

In the nervous system Of the

individual nerve is well insulated
with a protective coating Of fibrous
membrane. II this coating is in any
way injured or destroyed. the whole

and will not function properly.

circuit as the nervous systems" of

The signal energy from far away

readily conceivable that even a
