A report by W B Schulte of Bargese Battery Co argues rotating detector and amplifier B batteries extends service hours. By swapping batteries after set intervals, overall life increases 10 to 20 percent. It details shelf life, service hours, uniformity, and how voltage drops affect operation and testing.
Radio fans learn Ampere volt and ohm through hydraulic analogies from Radio Broadcast Magazine. The article defines current as coulombs per second, voltage as pressure, and resistance as ohms, then links them via Ohm's Law noting current equals voltage divided by resistance.
During the final charging stages a storage battery electrolyte bubbles violently as hydrogen forms and bursts. The agitation may splash a little but is not dangerous, caused by bursting bubbles rather than a fault in the system.
A radio expert argues modern DX results from reducing power and amplification. He notes many operators push full output on multi tube sets, causing heterodyne interference from unwanted signals. He urges greater selectivity and less final stage amplification to improve distant reception.
This notice stresses good habits in radio use. It warns that B elimination problems arise when the set runs without proper shutdown and urges switching off the eliminator before unplugging the speaker to prevent forgetting to switch off. It notes many operators forget to unplug the speaker if they begin at the plug.
Three favorable volume controls in the radio frequency amplifier are a filament control rheostat, a high variable resistance in series with the plate circuit, and a tighter in the detection tube. If two or more are used in the RF amplifier it will not be necessary to use any volume control in the audio stage.
