has been devoted to the problem
by the best engineers in the world.
there is still not a single satisfacb
ory static eliminator.
. Even the later developments in
“eliminatore' ’have not been toward
cutting out static in the receiving
set itself. but have been devices work
ing on acoustic principals which try
to filter out the satic noises in the
telephone receivers. All sorts of com-
plicated sound chambers have been
devised for this purpose. Recently an
enormous complicated apparatus
wasdeveloped for the U. 5. Navy
which seems to be fairly workable.
This is a. large sound chamber de-
signed to filter out static noises and
let the high-pitched whistle of a
code signal come through. This ap-
. adorably less response to static than
. . high one,
, will no
work on voice signals. births second
place it costs many thousands of
dollars to build. and also requires
about four steps of amplicatioa to
push s. signal through the mass of
sound tubes and chambers. And
lastly. even '» this doesn't eliminate
static in the receivers—it only mini-
mize it.
. Don't be misled by claims of all
sorts of device to out out static. 5
There isn' t a single piece of appara- f '
ms to our knowledge which. will do
this.
“1th can ,we do? Well. there are
several things which we can do
which will minimize the effect of
static. In the first place. if you have
an outdoor antenna. make it short
and low. A. low antenna gives con-

, Since the early days of radio the
crystal detector has/been. used et— 5
tensively in commercial and ms.-
teur work. From the time it re~
placed the old electrolytic detector ‘
up to the time that the vacuum tube
became practical enough to take its
place in commercial work the crys-
tal was supreme.
In search for new and sensitive
'rectiners nearly every known min-
eral has been examined and tried
out. - A great many show rectifying
qualities, many being sopoor. how-
ever. es to be of no value for radio
work.
Coal falls into the latter elsss.
Some minerals are very poor de-
tectors unless s. battery current is
sent through them in one direction.
Carborundum and. some other mina
erals are of this type.
. Some crystals require a very fine
point and a light touch for contact.
Galena. requires a. very fine wire cat-
whisker and a light contact for best
results. Carborundum requires a
heavy'polnt and a. heavy contact.
Certain crystals work well to-
gether. one for the rectifier and the
other for the contact and to aid in
the rectification. Zinctite and Telu-
rlum are of this class. This type of
a. rectifier is easy to operate as a
good point can be easily found land
it is fairly stable in operation.
A great many synthetic or manu-
factured crystals have been devel-
oped and some of them work very

”inch lessening effect on radio sig-
.:.tls. If you use a loop use a small
one: A two-foot loop is about the
fight size. Use twelve turns with a.
Iii-plate condenser across the ter-
minals for tuning purposes. The
small loop acts much the same way
as a low antenna; the response to
static m‘ses is lessened much more
than the response to radio signals.
One of the best things to do isl
to use a. loose—coupled receiver. And
the loose Qupling. as loose as you
can, and still have a readable sig-
nal. This always helps to some ex—
amplification signal ,with detector
alone. do so by all means. Actual
tests have shown that often a. phone
that is readable through the static
on detector alone, is absolutely un-
readable and understandable when
the receivers are placed behind two
steps of audio amplifier.
Radio frequency amplification
will help somewhat. but don‘ t think
that a. radio frequency ampliyr
won t amplify static. It will.
