Tandem tuning gains favor in 1927 radio circuits
The article notes a shift toward tandem tuning as a solution to tuning problems. It describes tandem toning as linking multiple tuning bolts on a common shaft with united condensers and separate stator plates, enabling varied capacitances to feed multiple RF stages while stressing the need for matched inductance and capacitance across all circuits. Vernier condensers offer compensation for stray capacity, though they add controls for each dial setting.
