1925 HELD BANNER YEAR
FOR RADIO EXPECTATION
Total Near 100000 in Value,
Near $4,000, 900 More Than
in 1924.

Last year was the banner year in
radio exports. according to Depart
ment OF Commerce statistics just
made available. The total approached
10000, 900. nearly $4.000,000 more
than in 1924. and 10 times the amount
in value exported in the first radio
year, 1921.
Canada led in accepting American
made radio apparatus; that country
took $3,7S2,92S worth; Japan was sec
ond with S2.216,535. and Australia
third, receiving s675,4S3 worth. Next
in order came the United Kingdom.
Argentina and Brazil. All OF the
countries except few increased their
takngs of American radio apparatus.
The most notable instance was in Au-
stralia, which accepted over $1,000 900
worth of radio equipment in 1924. but
dropped to $675. .4S3 last year.
This year exports seem to be de-
creasing; the January figure was
$285 900 less than last year. Exports
of batteries were about 20 per cent
larger than a year ago.

FIFTEEN MINUTES OF RADIO EACH DAY

may be moved toward or away from
their respective condenser banks. "A,
"B" and "C.'
BY slight adjustment of the plates
back and forth you will get the best
adjustment for the low wavelength.
Then turn the main condenser SHAFT
so as to tune in a station around 90
on the dial and make any slight ad.
justment to determine whether the
setting Of the balancing plates Is right
for that station. Finally turn the
main condenser dial so as to tune In
q station as near as possible at 100
on the dial and adjust the condenser
plates again. You will find that once
adjusted, the setting Of the balancing
condenser plates over the whole range
of the dial Is hardly perceptible.
If you find that adjustment or the
balancing plates is necessary for the
middle and upper portion Of the dial
after the plates have been adjusted
to the best position to tune in low
wavelength station. 1t will be neces-
sary to make a few minor adjustments
in the stator plates of the condenser.
In that case, proceed as follows:
Minor Adjustments.
Tune in a station at about so on the
dial, and make the necessary adjust
l
the station in to best advantage.
Tighten the plates in place and mark
their location. Then tune in another
station near the lower or zero end OF
the dial. Now readjust the balancing
plates, noting which bank needs ad.
iustment. A slight adjustment of
capacity can be obtained by bending
the outer stator plates of each bank
towards or away from the adjacent
rotor plate. For the lower wave
length this adjustment should be made
with the ends OF the stator plates with
which the rotor plates mesh when the
dial is being turned from zero to so
degrees. These slight adjustments
should be made until the condenser
banks are set so as to correspond on
the lower half of the dial.
After this has been done, tune in
high wavelength station near the
100 degree point of the dial and ad.
Just the stator plates on the other end
of the condenser. bending the stator
plates at this end until the three
banks are synchronized.
Adjustment Easy.
While this may sound a little diff
cult you will really find 1t simple
matter to make those adjustments.
When the set has been properly ad-
justed, turn it right side up and place
1t in the cabinet. Then fasten the
subpanel to the shelf strips on the
side of the cabinet.
The set is then ready for use by
young and old alike. You will be sur
prised at the remarkable efficiency
that a single control makes possible.
The rheostats are used in the prelim'
mary adjustment, but only slightly
thereafter.
