Rectifler and Battery Eliminators-
Part

Ever since the day when radio was
taken out of the laboratory no end
or work has been done to reduce the
connections and operation Of the radio
set to truly simple procedure. No
one finds any difficulty in connecting
an electric iron or a lamp or any other
similar piece of electrical apparatus
to the lighting mains ready for opera
ton.
When it comes to connecting up a
radio set. however, a person has to
learn the difference between the mega
tive and positive terminals Of the bat
teries. not mentioning the intermedi-
ate voltage values. and has to know
the difference between a., "B" and
&C. batteries.
Two Connections Needed.
There are only two connections
necessary for practically all the cleo
trical apparatus used in the home,
and those two connections are made
automatically at a single stroke by
pushing Il plug into its receptacle
When it comes to connecting up Il
radio receiver, however. anywhere
from four to eight different battery
connections and two connections for
an aerial and Il ground are required
To the INITIATED these connections
are as hard to master as the difficult
tango or Charleston steps are to the
average dancer.

This. however. still left the prob
lem of disconnecting batteries when
they ran down. and also of paying at
tention to the connection Of the bat
teries at frequent intervals.
The need for a constant supply of
current requiring no attention has re-
suited In many devices aimed to do
away with batteries to a greater or
lesser extent. and bring receiver oper
alton toward the goal Of lamp socket
operation by plugging in a plug and
turning on a switch.
House Current Unsuitable.
Using the lighting current for re
ceiver operation is not as simple a
procedure az it would seem. The
nehtlng current in most houses Is an
alternating current, which is insult
able for use in operating a radio re-
ceiVer. The ideal source of current
Tor receiver operation is Il steady,
unvarying. uni,directional current
The current supplied by the alternat-
ing current mains Is constantly
changing in value and flows first in
one direction and then in the other
direction.
1t is possible. of course, to rectify
this current-that is, to cause it to
flow only in one direction--but there
still remains the problem of smooth
ing out the fluctuations or variations
IN the current wave SO as to produce
a practically constant current. This
has been accomplished to a point Of
practicability by the use of suitable
filter system Of choke coils and con-
denserS to the now complete Il bat
terry eliminators and parts for con-
structinS such units at home are
available.
In tomorrowS article ] will outline
the various rectifying systems that
are available for converting alter
mating current into direct current,

suitable for use as in Is battery
