Tlie use of neutralizing condensers reduces the volume and (inality <'f the sipnnl somewhat tind is usually diffi cult to adjust properly. The use of a resistance in the prid circuit, such tis a potentiometer or “losser" as It is sometimes called, also Introduces looses that cut down selectivity and distance. If a receiver can he constructed with out the use of either of the above methods, and still he stable and easy to operate, the improved quality and power of reception is considerable. The deresnadyne type of receiver uses neither condensers nor resistances ; to control self-oscillation. The plftte ! < ireuit is detuned, or deresonated, so j as to prevent the penerafhm of eves- I «-;\e enerpy. : ; With present types of apparatus It is only possible to m-e a certain amount of enerpy for clear, undisturbed am- rdilication. Any enerpy in excess of this amount docs not increase the sip- rial stronpMh but does ruin the quality, cattsinp wbistlinp and distortion. Gimple Way of Solving Problem. Instead of allow inp this excess enerpy to he pcncrated in the plate < ircult and then neutralizinp or sup, pressinp.it in the prid circuit, the deresnadyne principle simply prevents t from ever belnp penerated. This is the simplest and most fundamental way of solving the jiroblcm by stoppinp oscillation tit its source in the plate • ireuit. The result i< that the receiver fats a beautiful quality and freedom from undesirable noises and at the '-aine time the preatest possible ampli fication. To a preat many the deresnadyne ap pears to be very similar to the neutro- dyne. but the follow inp will show that it operates on fundamentally different principles.

It -will be seen that the netitrodyne circuit would not oxist in the commer cial receivers tinless the stapes were connected topether by the use of a common A battery to operate all of the tubes. When’the voltape difference .bet w een the two ends of the plate cop IT and V2 becomes preat enouph to force a transfer of enerpy back to the prid cir cuit thrnuph tiie capacity of the lube NT equal to the losses in the prid cult, oscillation will commence, unless stopped by some special means. The netitrodyne employs nentralizlnp condensers for this purpose. The de resnadyne set employs the deresonated plate circuit shown in Kip. 4. This dif fers from the netitrodyne in that it Jimits the voltape difference that can he built up in the plate coil between IT and PI’, thereby removinp the basic cause of self-oscillation by preventing tlucinp elect rotnapnetic and elect restul- ic coupllnps to a minimum. How Result Is Accomplished. This result is accomplished by prop erly \iroportioninp the ro.il in the plate circuit with respect to the prid circuit and the incominp signal to which the prid circuit is to be tuned. It Is this feature of detuning or deresonatinp the plate circuit that suggested the name '‘deresnadyne." Deresonatinp is ef fected hy reducinp the number of turns -in the primary of the couplinp trans formers in the plate circuit to the smallest number consistent with hiph amplification and at the same time re- dnring electromagnetic and electrosta tic couplings to a minimum. The connecting wire B in Fig. 4, which is the common filament lead in the commercial deresnadyne set. can be remfoed and separate A and II bat teries used for each stage without nf- focting the operation. If the connect ing (lament w ires w ere removed in the commercial neutrodyne receiver, its operation would no longer be free from oselbation because the netitrodyne cir cuit would no longer be present. In addition to this, the transformers of the deresnadyne can be connected so that their primaries and secondaries have the opposite polarity w ith respect to one another if essential to the operation of the noiitrodyno as shown in the drawings. In the neulrodytie shown in Fig. .‘1 tho transformer turns may run in tho same direction if the primary turns are reversed. How to Make Good Loud Speaker From Posey Pot By PETER MOMBELLO — - ■ - 1 . For those fans who. having found the price of » good loud speaker pro hibitive. are now using a pair of phones on the table or in a fruit bow! this article describes the making of one which will compare with the best <>n the market. The drawing gives “nil the necessary parts and their di mensions. The figures given cannot tit every unit or flower pot and should be used only as a guide. An ordinary phone may be used in place of t he loud speakeV. .unit; in which case a damp should be made to hold the earpiece as shown in the /rubter D<scPbo/'s C errp ■ 1 fe't / * '• Wav' . i i’b o \J ' ] i;[ \ All the parts an* to he made so that they will fit Into each other snug ly. leaving ho air spaces.

See that the inside is dealt and sandpaper it to give a smooth surface. If properly constructed this loud speaker will be very dear and dis tinct. with natural, mellow tones on both speech ami music. Diagram Showing Necessary Parts and Their Dimensions. cut. A loud speaker unit is reoorn- u ,emled, however, and since this is the fct»n»ly costly part a good one should he Btjirchnsed. This unit should be pur- 1ased first and the holes In the disks e.nd flower pot drilled to fit the diam eter of tube of tills unit. 'Kite screws should he of sufficient lengtli to hold the wood, frit and rub ber disks firmly to the flower pot. The rqbber may he cut from an old auto mobile inner tube. To prevent any possibility of rattling thick felt should be glued onto the spots where the speaker touches tht table. Shielding Panel Aids in Reducing Body Capacity IVhen using two and three-circuit tuners employingfregenoration in any form body eapaejty is generally no tired in .some extent. Shielding tin ‘panel will aid some in rediieJng this, but as shielding the panel deeroases the efficiency of the tuner it is not advised. The proper connections for the condensers will also eliminate some of tho body capacity, but some times not all of it. In the latter case it the negative filament lead is con nected to the ground till noticeable bbdy capacity will disappear. Batteries Placed Near Radiators Soon Dry Up Have you looked in the storage bat tery lately to see if tho solution is still covering the plates? Batteries placed near radiators soon dry up. Add a little distilled water to each cell now and then and do it before the battery Is put on charge. Don’t take a hydrometer reading right lifter you have put new 'water into the cells, as the reading will be very inaccdrate. Head the battery before adding the water or after the battery has been on charge. It Pays to Have ~ Only Best 1 Parts Buy Standard Products When Building Set, Ad vice of an Expert. By MAJ. HERBERT H. FROST A chain is no stronger than its weak est link, and a radio receiving set ts no better than the poorest part that is used in its construction. One of the greatest drawbacks to radio in its early stages was the large amount of inferior material dumped on the mar ket. Material that was good enough for general electrical work was not good enough for radio. The amount of energy that is received in the average aerial is s :i minute that it is one of tho wonders of the present age ilint such a small force can lx* converted into words and Music that arc clear anu pleasant to ‘he human car. The amount of current impressed on the grid of the tube is so small that to lose even the least bit through poor apparatus re sults in gp’atlv decreased etibienev. , »—. to * Insnlati xi leaks and poor connec tions that would pass unnoticed in or dinary elc trienl worl; must be guarded against in radio. Most of the losses tire not jr the connections whirl) are made by the set-builder; they aye in the apparatus which lie uses and are losses widen be can guard against onlv by buying good, standard, nationally advertised products. One of the commonest forms of poor apparatus is the “moulded mud" prod uct, used frequently in the manufac ture of sockets, etc. When you buy a socket and arc in doubt, rub it against a piece of pa per. If it makes a black mark throw it away. This “mud” com position which is substituted for bako- llte and hard rubber in cheap appa ratus contains lampblack, a high re- sisteuee conductor and should never lie in any radio set. meeba-nical features of all ap paratus should he carefully noted. Sockets should have good, strong phos phor bronze contact springs. It is a good idea to buy a socket that can be mounted either on the baseboard or panel and one that has a ring of soft rubber set into the bakellte to prevent vibration of the tube. This will tend to eliminate tube noises. Jacks should be selected for their quality and it is especially, advisable to see that they are insulated with some thing better than paper or cheap fiber. Rheostats, potentiometers, plugs, bat tery switches and, in fact, every small part that goes into your set, is impor tant. For those beginners who do not un derstand the mechanical construction of radio apparatus, (lie greatest safety lies in going to. an established, reputa ble dealer who has ids reputation to maintain in his community. He will have apparatus manufactured hy re liable concerns which stand behind their products. The best is cheapest in the end and the satisfaction of a radio receiver that performs is worth a great deal more j than tlie possession of a mediocre re ceiver which is noisy, non-seleetive and generally unsatisfactory for the reason that a slight saving has been made ih buying tiie small parts for its con struction. Hood apparatus is really just about as low in price as poor ap paratus; for the reason that the re liable manufacturer takes a small profit on each item* and has a much larger volume of sales. ’ The KITCHEN CABINET ((ji), HiDEi.

A well-made rabbit stew or a rabbit pie Is a tasty dish; when tiie season for game is open, they are usually plentiful. A whole baked ham or a crown roast of pork are both popular meats at this season.
