This, however, tends to give rise to unequal response over the usual speech and music bands, and the object of the invention Is to flatten out the response curve, so that for a given voltage over the entire frequency range there will be an equal response. This is accomplished by associating one or two turns, preferably In the form of a copper ring, with the moving coil; so d that the copper ring acts as a secondary winding to the coll. This, of course, considerably lowers the impedance of the winding, and hence tends to equalize Its response over the entire range, particularly with the higher frequencies.

Sets More Sensitive, and More Disturbance As sets become more sensitive, so that they will reach out farther and bring in stations with greater quality, it follows that smaller electrical disturbances have more opportunity to become annoyances. It Isnt a matter of tuning out local Interference, splitting the stations or other fine ad Justments; these all can be attended to through the sharp and effective adjustments built into the set What may prove a source of annoyance, though. Is some interference that h constant and for all the wave band. With the growing popularity of battery chargers, battery eliminators and the other paraphernalia designed to make reception better, the increasing difficulty Is that of keeping these accessories from setting up local dls turhunces that interfere with tin set's ojeration. There is no diffi cul,ty whatsoever where sets are hull' with nil these accessories comblhei with them, for under such condition-grea- t care has been exercised to avoii. any interference which might be sc up through sparking or the straying of eddy currents. But the operator who simply adds : lot of equipment to a sensitive set mu., not be thinking in terms of interference. Particularly, if he Is aiming for neatness lie Is apt to place all these devices too close to each other and to the tuning units of the set Itself. The matter of Interference from such causes is so uncertain it is true that the radio owner who arranged the various devices most carelessly might obtain the best results. It Is important to remember, however, that all transformers (and battery eliminators aud chargers are basically transformers, regardless of whether or not they are rectifiers, too) create eddy currents. There is always a certain amount of Induction straying around, and In tlie case of sensitive receivers these can cause trouble.

This does not necessarily cause any damage or result in distortion, but ather It wastes current On a rheostat reading from zero to 100, and with the storage battery up to par, It is found that the detector will operale well enough with a setting of 10 to 20. bove this It Is a case of applying too much voltage for nothing. The larger the storage battery the less frequently It needs to be recharged and the longer the charging nrocess should be, assuming that the barges are of the same rating in each ase. Recharging Is not necessary un-I- I the battery nears the point where .he healthiest portion of it is nearing exhaustion. This range is, of course, much smaller for a battery than for one of 120 hours capacity, and thus the former needs In charging much more frequently. fact, it should be coupled with a trick-l- y charger so that the owner will not have to rely too much upon his memory. When moving the set around, nnd when it Is necessary to remove the wiring, always disconnect nt the batteries first. If the job Is done the other way around there Is a strong likelihood of getting a short circuit through the crossing of the wires. Radio Wave Is Capable of Penetrating Steel A rndlo wave, so far as it is known, Is an electromagnetic clement, capable of penetrating steel vaults. Its Intensity Is greatly affected through coming in contact with metals, through natu- ral diminishing with the distance traveled and through atmospheric and solar conditions. The receiving set Is equipped with electrical Instruments which put it In tune with the waves to he intercepted. which The particular equipment handles this is the tuner. It is difficult to grasp the electrical features involved In this tuning process, but the mechanics of It arc simple enough. In other words, by following Instructions one has but to make as h many turns of wire of gauge, and use a condenser of an Indicated capacity rating. The aerial nnd ground are part of this tuning unit, in addition to acting ns the system. The detector tube changes the radio frequencies to audible frequencies. The other tubes just amplify the signals. such-and-suc- g Watch Resistor Values When purchasing resistors for use In eliminators, be sure you have some Inkling ns to which portion of the circuit they are to be used In.
