Madge blushed. She had hoped he

Suddenly her face relaxed and
she was a pathetic shy little girl

RADIO PBDIEB
One Daily Fact for Listrners
The Grid Leak is used in ma‘
modern radio sets to prevent too
much electriciu accumulating on the
grid of a vacuum tube and thus in-
terfering with the proper working of
the tube.
Recall for a moment how it is that
the vacuum tube works. When the
filament is lighted s vast number of
tiny particles of electricity alled
electrons fly off from it every second
like birth rising from the surface of
a marsh when you disturb them.
These electrons fly across. inside
the tube. from the filament to the
plate. They pass through the grid.
If the grid has electric charges on
it. for example. the charges received
from sn antenna: these charges
will affect the stream of electrons
through the tube. That is how the
tube works when used as an ampli-
fier.
Now most of the electrons go
through the grid all right. But
there are always a few that hit
against the wires of the grid and
stick there. That is. the grid at:-
cumulates aortas of the electrons and
holds on to them.
But electrons are particles of elec-
tricity. So whnt happe- ts that the
grid gradually accumulates electric-
ity. If too much of this electricity
gathers on the grid the tube will not
work well. The grid leak is a de-
vice for letting this accumulated
electricity leak away. It needs to
leak sway slowly. not too rapidly.
That is why grid leaks are made of
something thlt has a very large
rs'lstance.
