Ideal Condenser Size and Suppression in Resistance-Coupled Amplifiers
The article explains how stopping condensers in resistance-coupled amplifier grids affect low-frequency amplification. It details how condenser capacity, tube plate resistance, plate coupling resistance, and grid resistance influence suppression, offering guidance on practical sizes from 0.01 to 1 microfarad and noting distortion tradeoffs. It argues that charging delay is not the distortion source, since AC voltage remains constant across the condenser.

Simplicity of radio explained as tuning and timing
The article compares radio listening to a swing linked by timing. It explains tuning as the listener aligning a radio set to a station's natural period by adjusting controls. Broadcast stations are assigned specific periods by the government, and listeners must match their receiver to that timing to hear clearly.

Power loss with speaker extension noted in sets
The long speaker cord uses more power, especially as batteries weaken. Voltage drops are more pronounced with the ordinary speaker attachment and extension. For extension use the set should be equipped with a B storage battery or a B eliminator.
Keep Batteries Upright
Battery makers caution against placing dry B batteries on their sides or backs. To obtain the longest possible life, keep batteries standing upright.
Few Changes in Radio in Sight Says Expert
Dr J H Dellinger head of the bureau of standards radio division visited the Kolster plant in Newark with 40 Institute of Radio Engineers members and said major radio receiver changes are unlikely for many years. Minor refinements will continue while the basic operation remains stable and sun caused static may be solved later. He foresaw experiments to reduce fading and a governor to adjust sensitivity automatically and predicted home radio vision could bring distant theater viewing within eight to ten years.
