The Hookup of the Modifle d Circuit Is Easily Followed.
(Edited by O. Douglas Wardrop, Editor of Radio Merchandising.).
. .. , /
By ROBERT HERTZBERQ
As can be seen from the Illustra
tions, the outfit Is an unusually simple
one. The circuit was designed by
Messrs. Haviland Halsted and Donald
B. Stevens of New Rochelle and Its
efficiency can be Judged from the fact
that station 2LO in London was heard
on one WD12 tube during the recent
transatlantic tests.
The parts required are few in num
ber. A 23-piate vernier variable con
denser is used for the tuning, and an
ordinary variometer supplies the re
generation. The shaft of the latter in
strument is equipped with- a geared
vernier dial, which greatly facilitates
the adjustment. A standard tube
socket and a six-ohm rheostat (for the
WD12) are mounted on the right-hand
end of the panel, which is of high-qual
ity composition, 18 inches long and 7
wide. The variable condenser is
mounted inside the special tuning coil,
thus saving much space and making
the connecting wires very short.
The inductance coll is the feature of
this receiver, but there Is nothing par
ticularly difficult about its winding.
The diagram gives all the constants.
A standard 4-inch cardboard or bake
llte tube 3 Inches long Is wound with
56 turns of No. 24 double cotton cov
ered wire. The end nearest the panel
is the lower end in the diagram. The
lower switch shown 4n the latter is the
upper switch on the panel.
Beginning at the end of the coil
nearest the panel, a tap Is taken after
two turns, another tap after another
two turns, and then two more taps,
one turn apart. These four taps and
j the end of the coil go to the aerial
switch points. Skipping one turn from
the last tap, connection is made to the
ground, the plus of the "A" battery,
and to the rotary plates of the variable
tuning condenser. This winding Is the
"primary," and is untuned, as in all
Reinartz hookups.
Winding Is Continued.
The winding Is -now continued with
out interruption for thirty-five turns,
and a tap taken at the thirty-fifth
wire. Fourteen more turns complete
the coil, and two mo^e taps made, one
at the forty-second, the other from the
end of the wire. This winding Is the
"secondary," which Is tuned in the
usual manner by the variable con
denser. The switch and its three con
tact points are beneath the primary
switch on the panel, between the vari
able condenser and the variometer.
The aforementioned potentiometer
is fastened to the panel to the left of
the condenser-coil assembly. Only two
I 1
vernier dial Is of great value In work-.
Ing up to this point
Tuning It Very Sharp.
The tuning of the secondary vari
able condenser Is very sharp, and no
trouble Is experienced In separating
the powerful local broadcasters. In
hunting around for a station, the sim
gle-plate vernier condenser plata
should be left half in. Then, after
making as careful an adjustment as
possible with the main knob, the small
vernier knob can be slowly turned
either way.
To listen to the stations on the low
er wave lengths, the secondary switch
is turned down so that the fewest
number of turns are in the circuit. The
wave length range will Increase as thq
switch is turned up. The setting of
the primary switch will not be found
to be critical. In most Installations
the switch arm can be left In one po
sition for all stations.
It Is very important that the rotary;
plates of the variable condenser be
connected to the filament and thq
ground. This will do away with all
hand capacity effects when turning the
knob. If a WD12 tube is used, the "AM
battery need only be a pair of ordi
nary dry cells connected in parallel,
and the "B" a single 22^-volt block.
If a UV199 or C299 Is preferred, three
dry cells are connected In series, and
a 30-ohm rheostat used. The "B" bat
tery remains of the same value.
As mentioned, the use of the poten
tiometer in series with the aerial wire
prevents the set from radiating, or, at
any event, it at least acts as enough
of a choke to make any oscillations
that do get by too weak to cause any
harm. In addition, It aids quite no
ticeably in clearing the tone of many
signals. ? New York Sun and Globe.
A Battery Fuse
The practice of fusing the lighting
circuit of a radio set Is not recom
mended, because of the lagging time
interval that, takes place during the
blowing of the fuse. In other words,
it is not quick enough to save the fil
ament. At present there Is only one
way in which the filament can be pro
tected. Do not allow any heavy cur
rent or high potential to come In con
tact with the filament leads. In other
words, be careful.

of Its three binding posts have wires
connected to them. The arm and
either end of the winding are used,
and it makes no difference which goes
to the aerial.
As can be seen from the hookup, the
connections to be made are few and
simple. The grid condenser is a stand
ard one, of .00025 mfd. capacity, with
a grid leak of two megohms for the
WD12. The battery and phone bind
ing posts are all placed along the
right hand edge of the panel so as to
make the addition of an amplifier easy.
From bottom to top the posts read:
"A" minus, "A" plus, "B" minus, "B"
plus, and the top two the phones. /
In operation, this set exhibits ex
actly the same characteristics as any
variometer regenerative tuner. In
turning up the variometer, a soft hush
should be heard for about five degrees
of dial movement, and then a sharp
click when the tube falls Into oscilla
tion. The set is in the most sensitive
condition just before this click is
heard, and It will be found that the
SHORT CIRCUITS |
A burned-out vacuum tube makes an
excellent grid condenser. All you need
do Is remove your present grid con
denser and connect the grid terminal
on the base of the tube to one end of
the wire that was formerly connected
to the condenser. Then connect a wire
to the grid of the detector and lead it
to the plate terminal on the blown-out
tube. Connect the grid leak from the
grid to the filament minus or plus
(trial is the test), and you'll be sur
prised at the difference in reception.
If your "B" batteries are run down
and you are not in the position to pur
chase new ones for a few days, then
place them In a warm oven for a few
hours. You will find that they will
greatly increase in voltage. Say that
a "B" battery registered 30 volts, then
after baking It will go to' about 40
volts or perhaps more. This scheme is
not recommended unless In an emer
gency, as it is a rather dirty job and
Is usually not worth the trouble.
If yoy have a potentiometer in your
set you will find that the set will work
a little better if you connect a .002
fixed condenser from the movable arm
of the potentiometer to one of the
ends.
There is no need of soldering every
connection In a radio set In fact, It
is better not to solder some terminals.
For instance, it is absolutely unneces
sary to solder wires to vacuum tube
sockets. Place the wire under the
screw, after looping it around, and
tighten the screw with pliers. This
holds true with transformers, some
binding posts, and, in fact, any con
nection that can be made really se
cure without solder. ,

More Economical
In Every Way
YOU'LL never know how many steps or how
much time you can save by using self-rising
flour until you try it. A heaping plate of deli
cious biscuits, a light wholesome cake, or a pan
of golden muffins all ready to serve in the time
it takes to prepare coffee!
"I use self-rising flour because it is much more
economical in every way. It requires less lard
and takes less time to bake with it? all the rising
ingredients have already been mixed/' writes
Mrs. J. of Leland, Louisiana.
Self-rising flour provides a new way to make old
familiar aishes wholesome and tempting. Baking
experts recommend it heartily. For high food
value it is excelled by no other flour. Try it
test it. Ask your grocer for self-rising flour that
carries the Blue Shield on the bag. It complies
fully with all pure food laws.
