For the man who has learned
much since the advent of broadcast

the listening enthusiast, the art is

can be turned on and a scne miles

ginnings that brought sound radio
to its present development.
The ~televisicn receiver consists OF
three essential parts. First there is
a tuning circuit. either for broad
cast CT short waves, followed by a
resistance coupled audio circuit
Third is the r~eproducer, which con.

A set, built solely with the view
Of using il for television on the

ton. The circuit described includes

All Of the rules learned in sound

ed pickup and interstage coupling.

Cd ia the grid leads Of each radio

IL il is intended also 10 use short
waves, the audio section may be con-
structed on a separate panel from

system. BY this method it Is I'M
easy matter to chang from short
To broadcast WAYS. The short wave
tuner only need be a rgeneretive de-
tector, with sufficient namber Of
coils to ocyer the band desired. The
short wave tuning condenser should
be about .000l5.
In the broadcast set, each radio
frequency stage contains a COG by
pass condenser, with two 4 MID
c~ontensers in the audio section. A
radio frequency choke coil In the
detector plate lead also is neces-
saly.
As separate c~ondersers provide
sharper tuning, a gang unit is not
suggested. 10 obtain maximum
volumn each stage must be tuned to
its exact peak. Otherwise an inter-
fering signal may cause distortion
Of the picture.
Before attempting TO receive tel
vision, the set should be thoroughly
checked ard made to operat with
is little distortion as possible on
sound. The plate supply must be
capable Of delivering 60 milliamperes
at go volts.
The signal for good television re-
ception should be OF & type that
would cause an ordinary speaker 70
overload. Otherwise the picture will
not be sharp.
