Lite most interesting part of the cir cuit is the method 'of constructing the Inductances and the source of the cur rent used to prevent oscillations in the circuit. It will he noted that two inductances are shown in the diagram - s.h inited h.v .lKHtT)—n+fd - c<uidons*>rs f tuning. These Inductances are termed ampilformers and are made from 7.1- turn honeycolnh c<»ils in the following “manner: Take a 71 turn coil and strijt off 2 turns, then count hack 11 turns on the coil and carefully raise tin* wire and take a tap; this tap Is lettered C Now count hack 11 more turns ami make another tap, IV It Is not neces sary to unwind the coils to take these taps. The coils are then clamped he tween two pieces of eakclite ‘2 1 2 inches square In wdiko have hoen drilled holes to mount terminal posts with the little folks.

They have 'I invaded dress f.ft' the street, for s|torls and for formal affairs ami are every where present in many' varieties. For the-condcnsers. In mounting tlie colls they should he mounted at right angles to reduce any coupling between them to zero. The connection to the rest of the apparatus is made as shown in the diagram. The neutralizing condenser j is a small midge-t variable ^condenser mounted on the panel. The rest of the circuit presents nothing really new. As to the theory of its operation. The 11 turns of the first coll between i (’ and I' form an untuned primary | and—hv reason—of—I ho—inverse ; TERNtMAU'b MOuNTtMG ahglc & DETAIL °F AMPU FORMER The insidoend.of the coil go* 1 (he -econii tap made to post IV and the i first tap to post <' and tiie outside «'nd of the coil to tap I'. Tlie first coil | doe- not need tap B taken out and , this, eoil hits but three terminals, A,,' r and I*. For convenience In mounting a hole - di'dlcd ili lb- n rtior of the hijkelito I end piece- and a -mad brass angle bolted to tlie cod -o the coils can he “ifioimted on one of tin- tei'mina.s of aerial connection-grounds theHiegative filament reducing body capacity. I’he •condenser tunes the remainder of the first inductance which Is the grid in put to the radio frequency tube. The plate circuit of the radio fre quency tube includes 11 In the second coil and forms an untuned plate cir cuit closely coupled to the tuned input circuit of the detector. It will he noted, however, that the portion of the coil between (’ and I> is neither in tlie plate or grid circuit, but is closely coupled to both. The end of (tiecoil isronneeted through thestabiliz- Ing condenser to the grid of the radio frequency tube. Now should there be any tendency of the plate circuit to feed back to tbe grid through the tube capacity it Is neutralized by an eqtjal and opposite feed hack obtained from the extra winding on the coil. Per fect stability can he obtained by the adjustment of tbe stabilizing con denser. But this condenser is mounted on the panel for a very good reason. We couhl—mount it fix*-d behind the panel, hut by making it adjustable a gain in volume and seleetivitv is obtained. It is well known that tbe greater the tendency of a radio frequency ampli fier to oscillate the greater tlie am plification, hut the instant oscillations start the amplification stops. There fore when a signal is picked tip, a slight adjustment of .the stabilizing condenser is made to slightly unbal ance the circuit when the signals will 'he greatly strengthened and the cir cuit .can he put ‘-‘right on edge," so to speak. It would not he praytical to keep the circuits in this critical con dition while tuning, for the set would go into oscillation without warning, hut when a' station is picked tip it‘is to post A I entirely practical to push the circuit up to the edge of oscillating, hut not beyond. Tlie receiver is remarkably easy to handle and gives results equal to any four tube set built. It possesses all the stability of the tieutrodyne as well as tin* selectivity and. in addition, permits the slight unbalancing of the superdyne and teledyne circuits that account's • for !hc : r efficiency.— New York Wr rid: .'W* By reason of tlie fact that she speaks from her long experience as n professional nurse, the statement of Mrs. J.
