Popularity of Four-tube Sets Being Revived by Better Screen Grid Tubes BY C. E. BUTTERFIELD. Associated Press Radio Editor. NEW YORK (fl I ).—Popularity of the four-tube sets of the earlier days of broadcasting is being reyjyed by the AC screen grid tube. The modern “quarto” receiver is a much better instrument than its prede cessor. both in construction and per formance, experimenters have found. Developments have been such in cir cuit design and in tubes that the four tuber can be made to do as well as many sets did with more tubes. They meet modern requirements of selectivity, tone quality and volume without sacrificing any receiver neces sity. The item of cost is correspond ingly reduced. The four-tuber has been developed through the elimination of the second step of audio and making the one re maining a power stage. The RF am plifier has been improved by the in corporation of screen grid tubes. Only two RF tubes were used in one experi ment. with an impedance coupled stage for volume and a tuned band filter for the second. . .. . ... The layout was such that either grid bias or a grid leak could be uaed on the detector which alao was a screen grid tube. The power stage had a 245. In the experimental layout selectivity was all that could be desired, provided the antenna was not too long. A piece of wire 25 feet long gave the best all around results. A longer antenna boosted signals with a drop in selec tivity. The accepted method of controlling volume by a potentiometer in the screen grid battery supply lead gave smooth regulation. By-passes and choke coils were used profusely, there being five chokes and a half douen or more by-passes. With a four-tube layout working sat isfactorily. steps have been taken to reduce the tube* to three bar the uae Today on the Radio PROGRAM FOR THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1929.
