HOW TO CONSTRUCT SIMPLE RADIO SETS Materials That Are Necessary and Method of Assembling and Mounting Them. For those who would like to construct a simple nonregenerative vacuum tube receiver, the details of several sets will be given, before taking up the explanation of the vacuum

tube hs an amplifier. The circuits which will be described depend upon the vacuum tube for n detector or as a rectifier not having the additional function of an oscillator. The first set described will be that of a tuning coil mounted on a horizontal bast 1 hoard. The following material is necessary for its construction: The Tuning Coil. A piece of cardboard tubing, cutside diameter, three inches, and five inches long. It will cost about 10 cents. One hundred feet of No. 22 DCO magnet wire. Cost about 25 cents. One standard slider to fit by %- inch brass rod. Cost about 40 cents. A six-inch length of % by %-inch square brass rod. Cost about 20 cent-. Two circular blocks of wood, whose diameter is just equal to the inside

diameter of the cardboard tubing and between % and % inch thick. Two binding posts. Some orange shellac. The Detector. A type U V Radiotron vacuum tube which sells for $5. The standard vacuum tube socket costing about sl. A filament rheostat of 6-11 ohms resistance costing about sll. A combination grid condenser and grid leak for the U V 200 Rudlotrom costing 55 cents. In addition a phone condenser costing 50 cents. One pair of Murdock No. 56 receivers costing $6. For mounting on base board: One piece of wood eight inches square.

GREAT PLANT IN MELBOURNE Australian City Is Building RacSo Station for Direct Communication With Great Britain. The work of establishing the’mammoth Australian radio station in Melbourne for direct communication with •' -at Britain lias been begun. ■.('lie substations for overseas traffic will be about three times as powerful as any European station today. It will take two years before the central and feeder stations are completed. As a normal performance the chief station will be able to speak direct over 12,000 miles for the greater part off anyworking day. Receiving and sending stations to correspond will be built in Canada during the same period. The plant for the main station will be imperted from England, but the plant for the feeder stations will be manufactured in Australia, one for each of the states. The combined cost of all these stations will be about $5,000,000. The main station will consist of a transmitter and receiver terminal thirty miles apart, the latter including twen-ty-font' towers each 800 feet high spread over a square mile. ' The wireless rates will be one-tliird less than the present cable rates' to Eumne.

Five binding peris. This set rc'uuir. . ■ : twice. an "A" battery to light the vacuum rtibe filament and a "It” battery to furnish the plate potential. The "A" battery slioU I lie a six-volt storm.* battery of not less than 20 ampere hours' capacity. One 22%-volt “B" battery unit is neeesbitry for a source of plate potential. Assembling the Coil. , . $ ; <i < i Starting one-half inch from one* end of the cardboard tube, wind on the No. 22 DCC wire until within one-half inch of the other end of the tube. Fasten one end of the winding to the tube,; h*it allow some surplus win l on the other end for making a connection. After the winding is In place apply a thin coat of orange shellac to hold the turns In place. Assemble the eireular-cut pieces of wood in the geometrical center of

square Mocks and then shellac or varnish them for appearance’ sake. When thoroughly dry slip the two end blocks into the wound tube and by means of a few finishing brads driven through the cardboard tube fasten the end blocks to the wound tube. The slider is to be mounted on top of the coil and should be capable of making contact with any turn of the wire on the tube. In order to remove the insulation from the wire, just under the rod where the slider moves back and forth wrap a piece of sandpaper around a thin piece of wood and. using another piece of wood as a guide, sandpaper the insulation from the winding. Drill a hole one-eighth inch in diameter through the slider rod about

one-tfourth inch in from each end so that the rod is fastened in place; see that the contact finger on the bottom of the slider can at all times make good contact with the windings. Mount a binding post on either end of the coil, attaching one by means of a wire to tire slider rod and the other to the end of the wire wound on the tube, and the tuning coil is complete. Mounting the Set on Base Board. It Is only necessary now to mount the component parts on the base board and connect them up. Fig. 16 shows the relative positions of the instrument mounted on an eight-inch square base board, with the actual wiring diagram. Fig. 17 shows a schematic diagram of the wiring of the same set.

SHORT FLASHES San Francisco is receiving I concerts broadcast at Schenec- | tady, N. Y. I In New York a squad of sol- | dlers was drilled in an armory ? uptown at the commands of a i superior on Governor’s island. I At the Pacific coast seaside | resorts, instead of burying themselves in the sand, the young ladies clamp on their earpieces and kill time between swims listening to radio music. Educational experts say that radio will prove of great assistance In the development of the minds of subnormal children. The great obstacle in their education has been inability to arouse interest. It is believed that radio will greatly stimulate such Interest. And now it is the dentists who j are profiting by radio. It is a ; great advantage to keep the I mind of a jiatient off his trouIbles. When a radio ear-piece Is clamped on, what registers on the ears of the sufferer makes him more or less indifferent to i whjit is going on in his mouth. | Great possibilities for the sooth- ? ,ing, : talker. 1
