Nancy- Kirby, Die girl interested In refrigeration, was merely Hordel's sweet heart. The largest, if not the chief, character in Die plot, was Iioedel.

Of itself, a power tube will not produce more volume than a nonpower tube. Its design permits it to handle greater volume without distortion. Most receiving sets are capable of delivering more volume to the last audio tulip than can be handled without distortion b.v Die usual types of .nmpjifying tidies. This is where the power tube is needed in Die last nudio stage only, where it can receive Die volume developed in the earlier stages of the set and pass it on, amplified but uiulistorted, to tb loud speaker. The electrical characteristics of power tubes are quite different from those of the customary amplifying tubes. Rower tubes consume more R battery current and tiiey require grout r C battery voltage. The wrong C battery voltage robs the power tube of its ability to handle greater volume without distortion, resulting in operation little, if any, better than ordinary tidies. In addition, if the C battery voltage is too low, the B" current consumed by the tube is multiplied many fold, which rapidly exhausis the IV battery.

The effects of trees and other objects were disclosed by a portable direction finder which was placed in different aroundpositions objects which were suspected of distorting effects. Signals from a trammitting set several miles away on a number of different wave lengths were used for calibration. A tree in an open field produced n.i error in direction of the transmitter when Die loop of the direition finder was placed either directly In front or behind it. To either side, the deviation was as much ns five degrees. A large screen f .galvanized iron, 17 by 10 feet, caused but slight distortion, but evidenced a slight reradiation of waves. A water tower with power lines nearby produced distortion. Indications were that the power wires caused a .large part of the disA tortion at longer wavelengths. overhead antenna did not produce any distortion, but when the receiver was placed close to the lead-i- n the deviation was marked.
