V
Weakness of Most Reflexes Overcome in Set That Is Selective
B> WIIJJ \M A. S( HI l)T, Jr.,
A reflex set that will tune out one
station and not cause interference
with another station operating on a
wave length close to the first is some
thing to be looked forward to. Selec
tlvity often can be had with reflex,
not by decreawing the volume but by
increasing it. When the selectivity is
improved ami the volume increased,
however, true efficiency is obtained.
Present day receiving sets employ
ing any form of radio frequency
(tuned R. F.) usually combine several
quite a few changes made before the
set will be in proper working order.
On account of this latter reason we
are presenting a novel method of wir
ing .so that it "ill Ik* easier for the
builder.
It may have occurred to many build
ers of radio sets after they have fin
ished wiring with heavy 1ms bar to
reverse a few transformer leads or
try placing a certain lead at another
point of vantage to see if it will in
crease the signal strength. If it has
occurred to them they undoubtedly
Now comes the secondary circuit,
and one must take great care here,
for a mistake will end in complete
failure. The end of the secondary
nearest the tickler rotor is connected
to the fixed plates of the variable
condenser ami also to the grid post
of the first tube socket. The other
end of the secondary is brought to
the rotary plates of the variable con
denser and to one end of the audio
transformer. The other end of the
transformer goes to the “A" minus
lead. 0
end of the crystal detector, while the
other end of the crystal detector Is
connected to one side of the primary
of the first audio frequency trans
former, the opposite side of the audio
transformer being placed in connec
tion with the other side of 1 he un
tuned radio frequency transformer.
(Reference should he made to the
s< hematic diagram from time to
time.)
Going hack to the second audio
transformer, connect a wire to the
vacant post on the primary side to|
In fact. It Is not h lmd plan to try
this condenser both In slid out of
the circuit.
Try Reversing I .rail".
The leads to the first audio fre
quency transformer should tie re
versed to find the heat operating
polarity. This Is very Important, and
when the correct wiring for the whole
row of transformers is found the
frail wires should lie replaced by
slrong bus bar.
If it be not top late, we might
The schematic diagram may r.ot l>e as a simple as that for a one-tube set, hut it shows every connection clearly. The sensitizer coil, plus the rest of
the radio frequency circuit, is similar to the wiring of an ordinary three- circuit tuner.
\ aria hie condensers so that they can
he controlled by one shaft, thereby
bringing the number of controls down
to one. Such a practice is a right for
medium, results, but beyond that it is
a failure. Ix>cal stations can nearly
always be tuned at the same dial
reading when more than one variable
condenser is used. Therefore, if lo
cal reception is the only object in
view, all the variable capacities can be
coupled to one shaft.
Tuning in distant stations with all
of Ihe condensers controlled by one
dial is quite a task, since you cannot
possibly get resonance unless each
one of the radio frequency circuits Is
tuned separately and carefully. Of
course, it is another thing when each
coll is designed for use with a special
condenser and all condensers in turn
connected up to the one shaft. Kveu
in this manner utmost efficiency is
not obtainable, because various ob
jects surrounding the coils and con
densers tend to prevent any stand
ardization of such units. On the other
hand, several prominent manufac
turers of radio equipment have
solved the problem to a certain extent
and can successfully operate several
variable condensers on one shaft, hut
as wan stated before, the utmost of
efficiency is not obtainable at the
present time.
Avoid Coupling Condensers.
It is seen, then, that in designing
the reflex set so that really good se
lectivity wdll be had one must not
couple the two variable condensers.
In this case only one is used and
therefore the set is actually one of
single control.
The receiver about to be described
embodies a special form of reflex
which is far more efficient than j*xt
the straight reflex set. (irenter seder
livlty is obtained, ease of control, and
greater volume is had with three
lubes.
All of the apparatus can be mount
ed on a 7x18 inch panel.
Acer*wary Part*.
A list of tha part* necessary for
the construction of this super reflex

One three circuit low-loss tuner.
One 23 plate .0005 mfd. variable
condenser (low loss type).
One Iron core radio frequency
transformer (Untuned). 1
Three low radio audio transformers.

INTERFERENCE
PUNISHABLE
Malicious interference with radio
reception of neighbors will be prose
» uted vigorously, according to officials
of the radio bureau of the Depart
ment of Commerce.
One such case has already devel
oped. The inspector at New Orleans
received a number of complaints of
interference from Knoxville, Tenn.
An investigation revealed that an
amateur was using an unlicensed
spark coil transmitter without a re
ceiver, which, be admitted, we* being
done for the sole purpose of creating
interference with a listener across
file street.
Am the action vvmm In violation of
the law. the c»se was reported to the
district attorney and came up before
Federal Judge Hicks. The amateur
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to
pnv a fine.
Cnder the low the penalty for op
erating an unlicensed transmitter is
a fine not exceeding IfiOn, and the
apparatus is forfeited to the govern
ment. The penalty for operating a
transmitter without an operator's 11
cense is $100 or Imprisonment for two
months or both. The penalty for mali
cious interference is a fine of $'*0rt
• >r a sentence of one year or both.
All 1 |* to Detrctor.
A vacuum tube regenerative set
using only one lube, will bring In
signals from nearly the same distance
as n set having an audiofrequency
amplifier. The amplifier serves to In
crease the strength of signal* brought
In by the detector tube, for the pur
pose of operating a loud speaker or
making the signals louder In the
phones
RADIO BUSINESS
BOOM IN CANADA
All previous Canadian sales records
for radio nets and accessories wer* |
surpassed duiing this years Christ
mas business. Assistant Trade Com
missioner T. W. Donnelly report* to
the Department of Commerce from
Ottawa.
The availability of the leading
broadcasting station in the 1'nited
States and the principal stations in
Canada affords local enthusiasts
great/pr scope for operation. The
rapid ndv.mi'f'Uient of the science in
the T’nited States is responsible in a
very lar^e measure for the rapidly
growing Interest In this country. Al
though the broadcasting stations in
this country are modern in every re
spect and have interesting programs,
the number Is limited.
Consequently the operator, as is
♦ rue the world over, experiments and
is not satisfied until he has connected
with a distant station In the 1’niird
States. Only on rare occasions is it
possible to tune in on Toronto from
Ottawa. This is due chiefly to at
mospheric conditions.
