REGENERATION SHOULD NOT
BE CONFUSED WITH RADIATION

Many people have the mistaken
idea that regeneration means rad
alton, or vice verca. This is not true.
Regeneration and radiation are not
synonymous, and should not be con-
fused.
A radio set may contain regener-
alton in its circuit without offending
by radiating. On the other hand, So
called non-regenerative receiver may
be, and frequently is, most violent
offender form radiation. A radio set
radiates sometimes improperly
called "reradiates" when the tube
directly or magnetically connected to
the antenna, oscillatas and causes the
antenna likewise to oscilate and give
off energy.
While it is true that single circuit
regenerative receiver, having the de-
tector directly connected to the an
tenna, can be made to radiate, no sig
nails can be received while the tube
is in state of oscillation or radia-
ton.
Such sets generally use very low
"B" battery potentials, thus reducing
the power of radiation to a minimum
and furthermore, the control Of oscil
lations is directly in the hands of the
user, and with reasonably proper use

stances. Nash originally led the
movement to protect moving parts
from flying dust and dirt which
is so harmful to mechanism and
which is the biggest single factor
in shortening the life of the mo-

calculated as to position in order
to keep out the most minute dust

utilized to clean the air that mixes
