Templeton Jones, radio fan, had
a few words to say anent regenerative
sets. His TRADE, as we recall it, went
about as follows. with the exception
Of various eXpletives, which it would
not do to set down in a home news
paper.
Il have only the highest admiration
for Maj. Armstrong. the inventor of
the regenerative principle" said
Jones. "The principle of the feed-back
was and IS a great one. 1t came in
the course of evolution, and this scien-
tist was it's father.
I'm the early days of commercial
broadcasting and the vogue for listen
ing in, the straight regenerative' set
gave enthusiasts the greatest distance
possible on one to three tubes.
Five years, however. in this radio
business, is about equal to 25 in any
other; at least that is the way it
seems to most Of us. New and better
sets have followed from year to year.
Maj. Armstrong went on in his work
to discover the superheterodyne, un-
less we are mistaken, using in it the
best of his discoveries in the older
days of regeneration,
"One of the best sets On the mar
ket today--SO it strikes me-is a five
tube tuned radio frequency outfit, with

and yoWlS of the tickler coil are con-
fined to the set, and not allowed to go
out on the air. to spoil the reception
Of thousands of listeners for blocks
around.
Although the radio art, therefore,
has far passed the straight regenera-
tive set, thousands of them yet re-
main in use, or rather misuse. Au-
thorities have not been able to do
much with them.
''On farms the regenerative set,
even if improperly manipulated, can
not have much adverse effect, owing
to the distances between receiving
from / mile to 10 miles as the dis
tance 4 regenerative set can broad
cast SQuealS. Take your choice.
I'm cities, however, the unrestrict-
ed squealer, or blooper, as it is often
called, can ruin the reception Of thou
sands Of sets. 1t unfortunately re-
mains q fact that hundreds of re-
generative sets still remain in opera
ton in Washington.
They were purchased three or four
years ago, and at that time repre-
sented the acme of radio perfection.
They had-and unfortunately have
mission of the hOWls set up when
the perfect point Of regeneration is
passed.
This is secured. as almost every fan
knows, by advancing the ticker coil,
or whatever the regenerative control
is called on the set, to just below the
point where it boils over. as it were.
with the ticker set at this point,
the maximum of distance and volume
may be secured. Above it, the tone
quality is made shrill and nasal, and
a series of the queerest sounds in the
world is set up.
by moving the ticker back and
forth, shrill squeals are transmitted
from the detector tube, now a small
transmitting station, and these are
received on every antenna within the
range of this miniature broadcaSting
station.
mo matter how much a set will
not radiate. itself, it will receive these
atrocious squeals, as matter Of
fact. the better set it is, and the more
sensitive, the louder the squeals will
come in.
