The bearing in which the needle
swings is another important factor In
a meter. for a poor bearing means thar
extra current will be required In the
coil to swing the needle.
The better meters, therefore, have
more turns in their coils and better
bearing than the cheaper type, all for
the purpose of keeping the current at
a minimum and the efficiency high.
High efficiency also means correct In
dication and that is what we use me-
tiers to get.

and flows out at the other terminal.
In a perfect voltmeter there would
be no current flowing through the
meter, but we do not need such de-

is set up which causes the needle to
register. The force acting on the
needle is figured by multiplying the
number of turns OF wire In coil In
the meter by the amount Of current
flowing through 1t.
AS example: A coil having 100
turns with current of 075 ampere
would give product of rs, and coll
of SO turns with current of $50 am
pere would also give a product Of 7.5.
Now let us assume that the force rep.

'Truphonic' Audio System
Uses a Grid Impedance

The years one new idea in quality
audio ampliflcation is the 'truphonlc"
system, which makes use of grid i'm
pedance coil
When a transformer is used. the
grid potential has to be kept negative.
As soon as the grid goes positive, there
is partly shortened circuit In the
secondary Of the transformer and a
temporary reduction of the magnetic
coupling. The result Is distortion.
The "truphonic" system has been
developed and magnetic coupling has
been eliminated. In the diagram Is
illustrated the figure 5" Elimination

coils, plate and grid. are mounted on
the same lamination. Through the
fixed condenser linking the two coils

which Is very high compared with
either resistance or single impedance
circuits.
The amplification factor Is kept con-
slant within very small percentage
from the lowest notes received to the
highest harmonics or overtones. Re-
garding the amount Of application,
three stages Of the "truphonic" system
win give a greater application than
two stages of transformer In ratio
of about to A.
II has been found helpful to add a
fixed resistor of $4,000 ohms, connect
ed between the r. post of the first
coupler and the common ground and
"a" minus lead in series with the
grid coil.

RADIO WAVES

Radio tubes are made Of thin glass
and glass breaks easily under shock.
The guy who used to listen In on
the party line now visits his neighbor
so as to listen in on the radio set
loop antenna is supposed to in
tercept maximum signal strength
when it is pointed toward the trans
mitter, but this directional property
is affected by the surroundings.
United States naval stations along
the Atlantic coast have started reg
ular system for broadcasting weather
reports to aircraft In fight and for
the exchange of weather information
between naval air stations.
When computing the length of the
radio aerial the lead-in should be
counted as part Of the length. This
part Of the antenna Is just as impor-
tant as the part supported in the hori-
zontal plane.
Because connections have bad
habit Of working loose every effort
should be made to keep them tight,
and, in many cases, they should be
soldered to insure staying tight. A
bad connection either means a noisy
set or weak signals
Binding-post strips should be so ar
ranged that all high-potential termi-
nails are as far apart as possible. 1t
Is also wise to place the aerial post at
one end of the strip and the ground
post at the other. In this way, leak
age between terminals will be kept
at q minimum.

What Is "Static"7

Static is caused by lightning flashes,
often many hundreds of miles away.
The lightning flash sets up train OF
radio waves which, when they strike
receiving antenna, interfere with the
reception OF stations. No device has
been discovered as yet which will
eliminate static interference as ex-
perienced with the ordinary radio re-
ceiver.

Soldering Flux

Only pure resin fiux should be used
for all soldered joints. Tests show
that where acid pastes and compounds
are used they either spatter, fume or
run over surrounding delicate parts.
This causes leakage and reduces re-
sistance In manner comparable to a
grid leak. Therefore, these fiuxes
should never be used on radio work.
