In an era of rising voltages the overload of amplifier output causes loudspeakers to demagnetize and fail. A remedy exists in a new output transformer that converts the receiver output to block direct current, slowing audio frequencies and protecting sensitive magnet windings from excessive current and failure.
Engineering tests by the International Resistance company show that higher grid leak increases detector sensitivity yet dulls selectivity on strong signals. Lower leaks sharpen tuning on powerful local signals, with distant signals allowing leaks up to several megohms for extreme sensitivity.
To test a battery use a voltmeter connected to the receiver where the battery will be used. With the receiver on, measure the voltage delivered to the set for an accurate reading. Some batteries read correct when not connected due to voltmeter drain. Tests with the set on apply to eliminators as well.
Maddie listeners should be extremely careful when cleaning or examining the B eliminator. Included in the eliminator are banks of filter condensers. When the eliminator is turned off these condensers hold a high direct current charge capable of a severe shock. Before touching the eliminator after shutdown, use a screwdriver to short these condensers to release the charge. Then the eliminator may be cleaned or repaired safely.
A fragmented report notes instructions about a storage battery of the plate type. It mentions keeping the device fully charged and removing electrolyte, with later steps to reinsert electrolyte and resume operation. The text is unclear and partially garbled.
A summary notes wireless teegraphy used at sea for distress calls to seek aid, to help other ships, for navigation, and to convey general news and private dispatches. It outlines accepted etiquette and practical roles in maritime communication.
In a busy barnyard animals tell tales of past deeds and adventures. Mother Turkey, Red Top the Rooster, Mrs White Hen, and a talkative parrot recount lessons and exploits while Dash the dog keeps watch. The tales bring laughter and pride as the animals imagine fame beyond their coop.
A quirky column discusses social observations about women and men in everyday life, noting appetites for cake and the quirks of relationships. It bites wit about Germans, platings, and the constant tension between lovers, apologies, and timing, ending with a stray remark about a driver and a traffic cop.
Fragmentary note ponders Io’s moon and Earths size relation. Mentions Pacific area and continental expanse, with garbled slang terms suggesting an exploratory or poetic fragment about space and geography. The text is incomplete and unreadable in parts.
A meditation emphasizing belief in self and faith as the key to success. Doubt, fear, and negative attitudes hinder achievement in sales and life. Victory begins with conviction within one’s mind and heart, unlocking external results through confidence. 1024 Western Newspaper Union.
A discussion of how the word cupboard arose from shelves for cups and plates and how the term now refers to modern storage. The piece traces historical uses from china chests to dressers and notes obsolete forms that linger in language today.
