Give Fair Trial to Circuit
Before Discarding it
“‘hy is it that we read such dee—
1y varying reports on new circuits
every once in a while? Mr. A. will
write in a glowing tribute to the
qualities and capabilities of the set.
while Mr- B. will send in a. letter
saying that he tried it out and it
didn't begin to come up to the per-
formance 0! his old set.
illustration tells the story behind
the two reports. Mr. A., the gentle-
man with the smile. on hearing
about the new circuit. spent a day
or two in collecting the required
apparatus. incidentally seeing to it
that he was buying well-made in-
struments. After that he made a
careful thought-out assembly
and did od job of wiring the set
up. making soldered connections
and good joints. It is very probable
that when the set was finished and
first tried out it failed to come up
to the results obtained by others.
but Mr. A. realized he was working
with something he as yet knew but
little about. and he spent several
weeks with his outfit learning how
to tune it. and all the other lit tle
tricks that are peculiar to each in—
dixidual rcceher. By the time he
finished. he knew what he was do-
ing when he turned this knob. or
twisted that dial. and he also know
what was happening when the set
did such and such a thing. As a
result of all this. he got much bet-
ter results than he did at the first
try.
Mr. B.. on the other hand prob-
ably read about the circuit during
lunch one day. or was told about it
by a. friend. Being an impatient
sort of person he hurried home that
night and raked together enough oi
his superfluous and discarded in-
struments to hook the set up as di-
rected. To be sure. the‘ plates on
one of the variable condense
“shorted" in a certain position. and
the wire om his inductance “as
pretty loose and "floppy,"
T‘Ve are inclined to think that the
new circuit amounted to anything
or not. By the time the instruments
were mounted on a board it was
pretty late. so the wiring was a.
hasty job. Then, when the receiver
was entirely finished he hurriedly
hoked on the antenna and ground
wired up the batteries. turned on
the tubes and listened. life“. he
didn’ t hear anything very startling.
and on switching to his old standby
set he got the stuff about twice as
loud as onthe new one. Result: the
next morning a. letter went out in—
quiring what kind of an imagination
the fellow had who claimed that
this new thing was a world- beater.
Trying out new circuits is a. (as-
cinating sport. and it is also good

cause it is only by trying to improve
a set that we eventually do improve

the tricks of your old outfit. take at
least a week to learn the tricks of
the new one. Thoroughly exhaust
the possibilities of the late acquisi-
tion before you cithor praise or con-

Here is another {nutter that may
be of interest: In a test “e made
on a receixcr recently. a signal that
was easily understandable when a
good variable condenser “as used
in the set. was absolutely inaudible
when a condenser with fibre end-
plates was substituted for the good
variable. You don't necessarily

better results—all you may need is

low-grade junk. Spend - a little
money on good instruments for your
present set before investing in ad-
ditional aparatus for a new circuit.

Theories Stated

Radium
Scientists have advanced several
theories as to the operation of the
crystal detector used for radio work.
It in a well known fact that the
crystal he.- the property of allow-
ing the current to now well in one
direction an die prohibit or limit
its new in the oppodte direction.
One theory is that there is alwayi
in certain amount of moisture on the
Thin moisture.
top or the crystal.
form. an electrolytic action with
the crystal forming a small battery-
This is. of course, very minute. The
direction of the voltage developed
is always the same.
Any radio wave impressed on
the crystal must flow for one-half
of the cycle in the.» same direction
that the minute battery does and so
be aided and allowed to pass
through the crystal. The other
half of the cycle is in the opposite
direction to the flow of current
from the minute battery andwill
thus be opposed.
This is one way of accounting for
the high resistance to the flow of
current in one direction and the low
Vesistance in the oppositmdirectlon.
The other theory is called “the
heat theory. It explains the action
of the crystal in a similar manner '
in that the surface of the crystal
contains a minute battery but dit-
fers as to the method of the origin
of the small current.
It is a. well- known principle of
electricity that it two dissimiliarf me-
tals are placed together andl'i ted.
a. small voltage will be generated
between them. It is assumed that
the passage of the radio currents
through the small contact on the
crystal generates sufficient heat to
make possible the- thermocouple
generated direct current.
This small current generated acts
in the same way es the small bat-
tery current assumed in the electroc
lyiic theory in allowing the current
to flow easily in one direction and
with difficulty in the other. Nel‘
ther theory has been definitely ac-
cepted but either may be true, and
it helps us understand the action of
the crystal in radio work to a great
extent
Yesterday I explained that if the
headphones were connected across
the cariai and ground that yOu
would not hear any sound even if
your aerial or receiver were tuned
in to the same frequency of a local
broadcasting station.
The reason for this is that the fre-
quency of the radio current! is so
high that it is a physical impossibil-
ity for the diaphragm of the tele-
phone to move fast enough. Before
the diaphragm could respond to the
upward half of the cycle of the wave
the current woul‘d reverse and go in
the other direction. thus tending to
pull it down.

‘ Even if the diaphragm could re—
spond to every cycle of the incoming
wave you still would not hear a.
sound. The reason being that the
tone would ‘be too high tor your ear
to detect.
If a. cryst l detector is inserted in
series with he headphones it will
cut off one half or each cycle so that
you will have a. series of impulses in
one direction. thus tending to pull
the diaphragm in one direction.
You will still be unable to hear
each individual half wave [or the
phone diaphragm cannot respond to
this great. a. number of impulses per
second. \V‘bat it will do is to respond
to each group of waves or each
change in the value or the crests of
the waves.
If there are a thousandgroups of
waves per seconl your telephone dia
phragm will respond .one thousand
times and you will be able to hear an
audible note. In radio telephone
broadcasting the variations of the
microphone current are superimpos-
ed on the crests of the alternating
current wave.
In this case the telephone dia-
phragm will respond to the varia-
tions in the comparative height of
the crests of the waves and will
truly reproduce the sounds that
were used to vary the current at the
broadcasting station.
