Sooner or later most listeners
' come to the time when they want
to try operating their sets on a loop,
either in an effort to avoid an out-
side antenna. or for using the direc-
- :tional prOperties or the loop to help
. in cutting out interference.
._.. There are two kinds of loops usu-
$57!. all! employed in broadcast recep-
11;; tion._0ne is the spiral-wound. illus-
LLZ; trated in Fig. 1. and the other is
":3 the "box’ 'type. illustrated in Fig. 2.
'5 ' It does not matter particularly which
gape is employed. The spiral type
has the more pronounced directional
ltul if the loop is desired for its di-
‘“ hand the spiral loop, for
a,» than
2:;
” effect. and will be slightly more use-
.i rectional qualities. On the, other
-_ a given
“isize. will require more turns
“w will a box.type of the same outside
1‘ dimensions. As far as signal strength
1 is concerned there is no choice be-
tween the two. \V‘ith regard to ease
' of construction, the spiral type will
3 probably be the easier for the aver—
5 age listener to make. -
With any loop, the greatest sig-
~'-! nai strength will be had when the
7 loop is pointing toward the trans-
? mltting station.
' As to the proper size: The small-
' er the loop. the less energy it will
-f‘ pick up: the larger it is the more
' energy it will collect, and the louder
will be the signal. It is, then. a good
idea to get as large a. loop as con-
veniently possible. In our drawings
we show loops which measure 30
inches on each side. This will be
- found to be a. good average size.
Construction: The loop frames
may be well dried
wood. or may be bakelite. formica.

.; How a L00?Aerial is Made
And Attached to Set
a nd paraffined ‘
should be spaced about three-six-
teenths or a quarter of an inch
apart.
To cover the broadcast range
with a 23 plate condenser. the spiral
loop should have about 15 turns.
while the box loop may have ten
turns. The ends of the coils are used
for leads. and connected to the set
as shown in Fig. 3, the variable
condenser being the only tuning
control. Owing to the fact that dif-
ferent makes of condensers vary
considerably it may be necessary to
add a few more turns than we have
specified. This is easily done if a
trial shows'that the loop will 'not
tune high enough.
Notice that in Fig. 3 we have
shown a loop connected directly
ampli-
to a. detector and two step
tier, without employing radio fre-
quency amplification. 0! course ra-
dio frequency'amplification is desir-
able when working with}; loop. but
it is not ncccsary. A'slmple regen-
erative detector and two-step am-
plifier will prove quite satisfactory
as a 100p receiver over moderate
distances. Concerts may be picked
up‘ with loudspeaker volume from
stations 150 to 200 miles' distant
with such a set under favorable con-
ditions.
It will also be noticed that we
have‘shown a possible “ground'
connection. at "A" in ~Fig 3. Ground-
ing the filament side of the loop will
give noticeably increased signals.
and since a ground of some sort is
usually quite easy to obtain, it
would be a good idea to try this out.
Remember, however, that When we

Leaky Sockets 'Are
Cause of Trouble
A very common source of trouble
in all radio receivers. and particular-
ly in the reflex set. is in the tithe
sockets. and the contact made be-
tween the tube prongs and the con-
tacts within the socket.
~Beware of the “mouldedi mud"
type of socket that is constructed
of a composition of coal dust. lamp-
black. and shellac. This material
can be readily detected as it will
soften under heat, can be easily cut
with a. knife. will break readily it
dropped. and it rubbed on a piece
or paper will leave a black mark.
A socket of this kind will allow
the radio currents .to leak, across
from grid to plate the same as if a
frid leak were connected across
causing distortion and a. loss or vo-
lume in your receiver.
Another source of trouble with a
great many receivers is caused in
the present day combination of
tubes and sockets. The majority of
solder on the tips to provide the con-
tact with the socket springs and the
elements or the tubes“
from each element of the tube,
tube and into the small brass tube
forming the contact prong on the
metal base or shell of the tube A.
drop oi: solder is placed on the end
of the bass tube thus soldering the.
wire to the prong and at the same
time forming a 'tip' on‘the prong.
Solder S composed of lead and
tin. This material is soft and a great
deal or it wipes of: onto the brains.
