But everyone wanted to hear more that was in Xf- Oscafor Wavemefer the 9V. There are several methods of calibrating receiving sets, but some of these are not accurate. In most methods there are pitfalls into which, if the experimenter is not very careful, he will fall. Some of these pitfalls will be pointed out and a method given to avoid them. The most accurate method Is the zero beat for oscillating receivers. The application of this method to the "single circuit and Relnartz types of receivers will be taken up In detail. The calibration of the nonregeneratlve and neutrodyne types will be taken up also. Besides a wavemeter, which may be purchased for from $15 up to $00, a laboratory oscillator Is needed, and a buzzer, preferably of high pitch. This completes the equipment The accuracy of the results obtained will then depend first on the accuracy of the wavemeter used and secondly on the accuracy of your own readings. The diagram of the connections will be seen In Fig. 1. Any vacuum tube which happens to be at hand, from the size of a UV199 up, may be used. The size of the B battery may be anything from 22 volts up; 45 volts Is satisfactory for most tubes, however. The A battery Is whatever size the tube normally requires. No grid leak Is necessary. L-- l Is 40 turns on a or tube. This Is shunted by C-- l of .0005 to .001 mf. capacity. This will make an oscillator easily covering the range from 200 to 510 meters, even with the .0005 condenser, and considerably higher with the .001 condenser. A calibration for the single circuit receiver must be taken for a particular antenna. If it is changed the cali bration is, useless. During the calibration of this set the tickler must be kept Just barely beyond the point where the set is oscillating, 1. e., the This is determined boiling point. by listening for a sharp click as the tickler Is increased. To make sure It is oscillating touch the grid of the detector. Two clicks should be heard, one when the finger touches and one when It leaves. Set the Inductance switch at the lowest wavelength tap and the condenser at 0 or 10 degree setting Increase or decrease the tickler until it just spills over into oscillation. Then turn l of the oscillator until When this you hear a whistle. whistle Is heard you are not exactly on the same wavelength as the oscillator, but very close. Now turn the condenser C-- l back and forth until you get a point where there Is no whistle, but that on either side of which you do get a whistle, You have now adjusted the oscillator to exactly the wave your tuner Is set for. (Remember, not the whistle, but the point between two like whisUes, Is the resonance point.) Now bring the wavemeter up to the oscillator and turn It until you get the maximum deflection of the galvanometer. Keep the wavemeter as far away as you can and still get a deflection of the galvanometer. If doing this causes a whistle in the receivers, reset the oscillator and wavemeter and take simultaneous readings of wavelength, switch and condenser settings. Take readings through every ten or twenty degrees of the condenser dial for each inductance tap, always keeping the tickler just at the verge of oscillation.

If any length of service is desired, the drain must be light, for dry cells simply cannot furnish even a moderately heavy current for more than a few minutes. They will polarize" quickly if more than the safe current Is drawn, and the voltage will fail oft considerably. The batteries must then be disconnected and allowed to stand for a short time. h Two ordinary dry cells should be allowed for one WDll or WD12, while three are satisfactory for one, two, or three UV199's.
