Sixteen Stations
i'm Three Minutes
Ideal Radio Receiver With
but One Main Tuning
Control.

One of the chief problems of the
home constructor is that of trying to
combine sensitivity with quality. II is
generally admitted that the super
heterodyne represents the utmost in
sensitivity but then, on local stations
the quality is not what it might be-.
Possibly this accounts for the fact that
many set manufacturers are no longer
making a superheterodyne model but
are going back to straight radio-fre-
quency amplification. Many receivers
on the market only employ single
state of r. f. which will be found
quite sufficient for general purposes.
Two stages will only complicate tun-
ing, or if single control is employed.
the full value of the two stages is
often not obtained.
''For a very long time we have been
looking for the kind of receiver which

Hints That Will Be of
Interest to Radio Fans

Too much wiring will increase losses
In the set.
The voltage test is the only proper
fest of a "B' battery.
The minimum working voltage Of a
detector tube is about IL volts.
The low current consumption tubes
will run off the battery a long time
without having it charged
When passing the lead-in and
ground wires through the same win
dow. separate these wires foot or
more apart.
The capacity of variable con-
denser will be changed in regard to
dial readings if any of the plates be-
come bent.
Sound vibrations are transmitted in
great strength to the tubes when the
loud speaker is resting on top of a
radio cabinet This will cause the
grids and filaments to vibrate, which
distorts the music. Keep tine loud
speaker off the cabinet and direct the
sound away from the set.
Unless super-heterodyne Is used,
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1925-11-13

there Is small necessity for matching
tubes as first-class tubes have similar
constants. In the super, different
tubes can be tried In the sockets by
juggling until the right combination is
found.
All the wires in the receiver should
be clean and securely fastened. Scrape
the ends clean occasionally with the
back of knife, and tighten down the
binding post tops with pair of pliers.
1t is good plan to employ two
aerials, one short one for local sta
tons, the other long one FIR distant
reception, with convenient change
over switch.

Tax Cut Set at s3OO,OOO,OOO.

Washington-A tentative limit OF
s300,000,000 as the total amount of the
forthcoming tax reduction was deter
mined by the house ways and means
committee. This is the figure set by
Secretary Mellon. 1t was agreed to
by the committe after it had gone

tions. All closed bodies are by Fish
! er and are upholstered in quality
plush.
Buick has always been noted for
its sealed chassis, which prevents
dirt or water entering any of the
moving parts. Now it has added an
air cleaner. oil filter and gasoline
strainer. These, combined with the
standard Buick construction, prac-
tically eliminate the possibility of
any foreign substance entering the
engine or moving parts of the
chassis and. consequently, minimize
service requirements and add to- the
life of the car.
Because these three new units
have no moving parts. there is noth-s
ing to get out of adjustment. They
require no power-in fact are thor
oughly automatic, and require only
occasional cleaning to remove the
dirt and CRIME gathered from the
