Work Within Limit of Tube Characteristics Never try to force a tube to .give excessive volume, either by increased filament or plate current. There is 0 point at which the tube works best and an Increase in either plate or filament potential will get you no-wi,ere no-wi,ere except in trouble. Y hen ti e filament Is tuned up beyond a certain point it either squeals its head off or does a fadeaway and reception oar, only be restored by backing off the current. An increase In plate voltage volt-age beyond a certain point will paralyze par-alyze the emission and again the de-Bired de-Bired offering of some broadcast establishment es-tablishment goes up the flue. Uork within the limits of the tube cl arac-Ter arac-Ter s L ana, If greater volume Is de-Ired de-Ired either get it by tuning or additional addi-tional steps of amplification. Dont abuse the tubes.
