IMSIC Mo. of Turns Manometer Wtf? Vernier 7 JTL 23^/ate 4 V<xrta.6h \Vith Verv7/&tyr\ j 35 I I ^Bake/ite. Tube Arty Standard Detector Tube 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. BoJrt/rfC ? 3 f. Grid Tops r /??/ Croon* M* Aerie/ Tops Inductance Coil, Single Layer Wind ing of No. 24 Magnet Wire. 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. , j ; ?? ?
