A New York Herald report explains that a four circuit tuner with seven taps causes coarse control and dead end losses due to partial coil engagement. A variometer with proper low resistance and low internal capacity offers finer control, using full inductance at all times and eliminating dead end losses.
The two variometer and vario-coupler circuit remains popular though debated. Some amateurs report improved selectivity and stability by placing a condenser across the vario-coupler secondary instead of the grid variometer, while others defend the original setup.
A humorous note suggests Milyuns will endow a chair at The Highbrow University likely a barber’s chair. It comments that it would be handy after the football season and jokes about marital strains over sewing and patching quarrels.
Readers are urged to reuse components to form a crystal receiver and easily upgrade later. The article outlines a single tuning crystal set using a 23 plate variable condenser, selectoformer, fixed crystal detector, small condenser, phone duck, panel and baseboard. It recommends outdoor aerials 100 to 150 feet long and proper grounding for best reception.
Report from an American Chemical Society meeting highlights that a high loss condenser in a loop radio receiver wastes energy, reducing the tiny power captured from distant signals. It notes that even a unit one-billionth of a watt from a one foot diameter loop is enough to illustrate the effect and urges use of low loss condensers to minimize energy waste.
A how to article explains constructing a radio receiver using a variometer four phone stock clips one Irla fixed crystal detector a .0005 mfd condenser and three small screws. Diagram shows assembly with clips for aerial and ground and telephone tips. Rotate the variometer dial until a station is heard with no further adjustments.
In radio soldering a large iron is too big for tight spots. Twist solid copper wire around the tip, sharpen and tin it. A wire length up to three inches extends from the tip to solder small parts and reach out of the way places, ideal for jack tips.
The text explains that in the secondary circuit the stationary plates of a condenser must connect to the grid of the tube rather than the rotary plates. This connection eliminates body capacity, improves efficiency, sharpens tuning, and preserves signal strength. The stationary plates to grid method is asserted as always proper regardless of diagram.
A humorous exchange in court centers on Mrs Wellerf post marriage asking to sit on a knee while Mr Wellerf declines citing busyness and calls for a footman to oblige. The judge interrupts as the matter becomes a light moment in the session.
