Flow OF Current.

1t is generally known 10 the lay
man that current in an electrical cir
cult is said to flow from one end of
the circuit to the other.
The average layman also knows
that in an alternating current, the
current flows first in one direction
and then reverses itself and flows in
the opposite direction, alternating it's
direction of flow a certain number
of times per second and being called
alternating current of a frequency
depending on the number of times
that the current returns to its orig
inal direction in a second.
The terms 60-cycle alternating cur
rent is a familiar one to the man who
has tried to buy an electric fan,
vacuum sweeper or other electrical
appliance and who has had to find
out what kind of current is being
supplied to his house.
An electrical wave of which radio
waves are one form is produced by
electrical oscillations in a circuit and
the wave correspondents in it's va
riations and characteristics with the
electrical oscilla ii onS which produce
it so that in general we can speak
of both of them interchangably If we
remember that while they are rep
resented in the same way on paper,
the electrical oscillation is the cleo
trical vibratory motion that takes
place in the circuit while the wave is
the vibratory motion produced in the
ether by the electrical oscillation in
the circuit.
Oscillations or waves consist of two
main forms: damped and undamped
oscillations or waves. The latter ,un-
damped, are often referred to as con-
tinued oscillations or waves.
Figure i shows an oscillation of the.
Gamped type in which the amplitude

Incidentals Required I'm Radio Set
Construction

A list of the majority of parts nee
esSRry to construct radio set can
usually be obtained from the wiring
diagram of the circuit. There are,
however, many minor parts which DO
not appear on the wiring diagram,
and 1t Is necessary to take these
parts into account in making up your
shopping list of parts.
This care in determining the parts
you will need is especially important
IL you start the construction of your
set on a Sunday or holiday, when 1t Is
impossible to get parts which you
may have forgotten to include In your
list. Few radio and hardware stores
remain open on Sundays or holidays,
so 1t behooves you to find out the
little extra items that are necessary
to construct your set.
MANY CONSTITUTIONAL articles men
ton the complete list of important
parts that are necessary TO construct
tho set, but do not give a list of the
smaller items. Some constructtonal
articles leave the selection of the list
Of parts entirely to the constructor.
The first important item that does
not appear on the wiring diagram is
the panel and subpanel. II you use
the ordinary wood Dashboard type OF
construction, the only panel you Will
need will be a front panel, but If you
use the more modern method of sub
panel assembly, you will also need ii
subpanel.
The size of the panel and subpanel
will be determined to a considerable
extent by the type Of set you are
going to build. and also by your skill
In placing the parts to make either
a compact or spread-out set.
While it Is impossible to give abso-
lutte standards of dimensions, a few
suggestions as to sizes Will not be
out of place.
AT by IA to Z by Is inch panel IS
usually sufficient for most 3-tube sets
A Z by 1S to 7 by "a inch panel will
take care of to tube sets, If care
Is used in the placement of the parts.
The subpanel or Dashboard should
be one inch shorter than the front
panel, SO as to allow half inch at
either endxto fit into the cabinet.
In the matter of depth 7 favor a
subpanel or Dashboard large enough
to fit into a. cabinet which Is to 10
inches deep. This allows plenty of
depth for location of parts and wiring
without erowding.
