Browning Drake Radio Receiver Adds Regeneration
The Browning Drake four tube receiver uses one neutralized RF stage, a detector and two audio stages to boost gain while avoiding RF radiation. It details the regenformer with antenna inductance, primary and secondary coils, and tickler to neutralize capacity, plus mounting suggestions and component values.
Welding Tube Filament With Regular Current
Repair burned out tube filaments by placing the tube in a socket, wiring to the filament posts, and applying about four volts. Strike the bulb until the filament welds, then handle carefully to avoid breaking the weld. Repaired bulbs work nearly as well as new and can serve as detectors, especially older UV 200 or 201 types. newer UV-201 may also be repaired this way.
Iowa to Need 23078 More Dairy Cows by 1936
Blue Valley Creamery Institute estimates Iowa must raise 23 078 dairy cows by 1936 to cover normal population needs unless farmers adopt double-barrel breeding from purebred sires and balanced rations. Average cow yields 4 000 pounds milk annually with 160 pounds butterfat, enough for a family of four. A daughter from a high production sire fed properly may reach 6 000 pounds, with her offspring following similar results.

Hints for Radio Fans Include Simple Detections
Tips note copper foil for fixed condensers and keeping wires straight. Clean battery clips weekly. A small watch-case voltmeter aids any radio set. Crystal receivers detect signals simply. Rubbing bakelite panels with oil makes surfaces look new. A loud speaker can be made by mounting a telephone receiver in an old phonograph horn. Keep grid leaks short to reduce howling. Test a battery with a voltmeter after 20 minutes of operation.
