Where to Look for Your Circuits
When Planning Your Set for the
Set-Building Contest. Part I.
One of the most important things,
and, as a matter of fact, the first im
portant thing which must be done be- ,
fore any work can be started on a
prize-winning set. Is to select the cir
cuit which you are going to us©.
As I have pointed out before, it is
not necessary that you design your
own circuit or discover some entirely
new or revolutionary principle.
The woods are just full of books, j
magazines and newspaper radio sec
tions that offer every conceivable type j
of circuit. You can run through the j
pages of these publications for the ex
act data you need on the circuit, its '
constants and details of construction
Which will help you In planning your
receiver.
Get Books From Library.
Many of these books can be obtained
from the publishers at nominal cost
and will make worth-while additions
to your radio library. If you do not
care to go to the expense of buying
them the chances are that you can
consult them at your public library.
If your local branch does not have
them you may be able to get them at
the main library. If they do not have
the books on their shelves it is about :
time You called the fact to their at- ;
tention so that they will order at I
least some of them. Libraries carry ;
the books that are in demand, and if I
there is a demand for these books]
they will get them.

give the wiring diagrams of all the
various circuits and modifications in
common use today. To do so would
require a rather elaborate and costly
volume. I will, however, give you ref
erences to articles or books which con
! tain data and details on such circuits,
so that if you are interested In any
particular class of circuits you may
be able to learn more about them. As
far as actual circuits are concerned,
you cannot do better than to get a
copy of “Henley’s 222 Radio Circuit
i Designs.’’ Tlu* book can be obtained
I at practically all radio stores or direct
I from the Norman W. Henley Publish
: ing Co., New York City.
Information About Circuits.
' The book is a real encyclopedia of
circuits, and gives not only the wiring
diagrams, but also a considerable
amount of information about the cir
cuits, such as. for instance, the theory
of the circuit and the action of its com
ponent parts, the constants of the
circuit and a number of other circuits
which are modifications of the original
circuit.
It also contains considerable in
formation on the elementary principles
of radio inductance coils, condensers,
antenna construction, batteries and
rules and regulations of the board of
i fire underwriters as they affect the
installation of radio apparatus.
1 Another chapter deals with funda
; mental coupling schemes or the
I methods used to couple antenna, grid
i and plate circuits with each other.
The discussions on receiving circuits
include such circuits as crystal, aim

mention.

There is also a chapter on trans
mitting circuits of various types.
Another chapter deals with the tech
nical terms used in radio. The book
has a complete index which makes it
very handy for reference purposes in
that it makes it easy to find any par
ticular class of circuit in which vou
may be interested.
There are so many circuit variations
that you should have no trouble in get
ting many good ideas on circuit de
sign from it.
If you would like to know more
about how to read wiring diagrams. I
shall be glad to send you a reprint of
several articles which 1 wrote on how
to read wiring diagrams. This circular
is called "Radio Sign Language Ex

receipt of 5 cents, to cover cost of post
age and handling. Just address your
requests for the circular to me, at 4345

This sheet contains all the symbols
used in radio work with an explana
tion of their uses. It also contains
considerable information as to how
*hey are used in circuits.

ADVENTURES OF A BROADCASTER
01 FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE,
Radioscribe.
*
No world series in history ever
played to such an audience as the
present duel between the Nationals
- and the Pirates.
aT h e reason Is
radio. Broadcast
ing of athletic
events was not an
unknown art In
previous years,
but it never faintly
approached the
popularity and ex
tent it enjoys to
day. Many a fan
throughout the
country, who is
denied the privi
lege of watching
the games. Is cur
ing his heartsick
ness by listening,
MB. WILE. In, baU b y ball, as
the present com
bats rago in "Washington and Pitts
burgh. It is the hour of the portable,
set. Thousands of Washingtonians
away from home in the day-time lug
ged radio apparatus to their places of
work this week, conscious that con
siderate bosses would give them nine
innings off In mid-afternoon. What
will happen to Uncle Sam’s business
In future Octobers, when C. Francis
Jenkins perfects “radio vision,” Is ter
rible.
** * *
From Elkins, W. Va., this week, a
lady who once knew me when I was
a Chatauqua turn, sent me the follow
ing timely request:
Since you have become so famous,
particularly to the radio world, and
most especially since we are with
you in the air so frequently, I am
taking the liberty of asking a
favor. I have just been given a
week’s vacation here in West Vir

ounces of Pinex, pour it into a
pint bottle and fill the bottle with
syrup, train# either plain granu

three times the money. Tastes
pleasant and never spoils.
This Pinex and Syrup prepara
tion gets right at the cause of a
cough and gives almost immediate
relief. It loosens the phlegm, stops
the throat tickle and neals the i
irritated membranes so gently and i
easily that.it is really astonishing. |

bronchitis, croup, hoarseness and
bronchial asthma, there is nothing
better.
Pinex is a most valuable con

Norway pine extract, and has been '

severe coughs.

one with which the President and
Mrs. Coolidge listen-in ut the White
House. Few are aware that it is an
apparatus specially built- for that pur
pose by the United States Navy.
Lieut. Comdr. Elmer Langworthy,
U. S. N., Is given credit for originat
ing the idea that the White House
radio outfit ought to bear a Navy
nameplate. He accordingly took a
personal Interest lir its construction
and saw to It that every kink known
to radio engineering science went into
the apparatus. The lieutenant com
mander happens not only to be a radio
fan of deepest dye, but also a singer,
who has frequently been heard on the
programs of local broadcasting sta
tions. The White House set is not
only luxuriously mounted, but is the
last word in portability. It is affixed
to a sort of tea-tuble arrangement,
with wheels, and can be shunted about
with corresponding ease. Lieut. < 'omdr.
Langworthy is now on sea duty with
the United. States fleet in the Pacific.

In the Navy they tell a screamingly
funny story about the oonstructor-in
chlef of the OooMdge radio set. When
he lived in Washington a few months
ago, Langworthy one day was rigging
up antenna In some trees near his
home and climbed one of them for
that purpose. A peeping Tom had
been annoying the neighborhood, and
the police were looking for him. Dis
covering Langworthy at work in the
treea, they ordered him to come down
and be arrested, confident they had at
last found the culprit! The gallant
sailor had considerable difficulty in
establishing his identity and inno
cence.

Investigating scientists are discov

show any plant activity the other
seven hours, while red clover and bar*

grow faster, the plant activity is con
tinuous, they mature much earlier and

Uther plants have variable moods,
apparently, and scientists must try
and experiment, ration the light oyer

fact Jias been made plain, that when
