How to Wire the Receiver.

How to Wire the Receiver.
If you follow the description of the
wiring connections given in the fol-
| lowing paragraphs, you Will have no.
difficulty in wiring up the receiver
without missing connections or MAX
ing any wrong ones. Do not take 1t
for granted that you know how to
connect terminals together from the
wiring diagram. The safetest, surest
and best way to wire it is to follow
the wiring instructions step by step.
The first step in wiring is TO run
a wire. connecting in turn, the a.
terminal of rheostat 5; the "B"
terminal Of rheostat 4 and the "A"
terminal of rheostat ]. Then con
meet this wire with the a. term
inal of battery switch 6.
The "C'' terminal Of condenser 8
is merely another soldering lug at
tached TO the frame of the con-
denser and therefore connects with
the 'B' terminal of condenser 8.
Now connect the "B" terminal OF
switch with the "C' terminal of
condenser Q. Then connect the "B"
terminal of condenser with the
''B" terminal of condenser u. Next
run a wire from the red terminal
"G" of multiplug % to terminal
"B" Of condenser 12 with which it
should he connected.
Connect A and Il Terminals.
Another Wire should connect the
wire just mentioned with the "A
and II terminals of radio frequency
transformer II. The connecting wire
can run through hole b to terminal
"a" and thence to terminal b OF
transformer IA.
Now run a wire from the "a term
inal of radio frequency transformer
l6, through hole ii" to the wire that
connects the "B" terminal of con-
denser with the "B" terminal of
condenser II.
Next take a 2-foot length of bus
wire. connect one end with the b
(black) terminal of multiplug 26
then connect it with the "C' (Green)
terminal of multiplug 20. then run
il directly toward the rear of the
subpanel turn it toward the left and,
keeping 1t fiat on the bottom sur
face of the subpanel, pass it over
hole "u," bend it clear Of hole ".
pass II over holes "w," ''X' and then
back toward the front panel to pass
over hole "i' and finally connect with
the "B" terminal of condenser Z.
This wire is run on the bottom side
of the subpanel. To this wire con-
meet the positive tplus) terminal Of
socket 25 through hole ''u"; the posi-
dive (plus) terminal of socket %
through hole "w"; the positive (plus)
| terminal OF socket 20 through hole
"x": The "A" terminal of radio fire.
