RADIO DEPARTMENT
The Single Circuit
Tuner Again
_ I
Perhaps no other outfit has re-1
ceived so much publicity as the
set utilizing the single circuit'.
The single circuit tuner tries to
eliminate as many of the con
trols as is possible without sacri
ficing too much because of the
loss of these controls.
A circuit utilizing all necessary
controls will have a dial for the
control of wave length, a dial for
the control of the regeneration
or self-amplification, and thirdly,
a dial for the control of the sec
ondary circuit or selectivity.
The outfit that is reduced to a
double circuit tuner usually does
away with the secondary control,
and tries to build up selectivity
with the remaining wave length
and regeneration controls. Nat
urally something will be sacri
ficed—most likely selectivity, or
the power of picking out the
station you desire to the exclu
sion of all others.
Then came the single circuit
tuner. ONE control, in the
strict sense of the word. Wave
length control is one maintained,
while control of the regeneration
is accomplished via. the rheostat.
Sometimes a manufacturer will
utilize one shaft for turning two
instruments at the same time.
This is sometimes 0. K. However,
for real close adjustment, the ad
ditional control is desirable. This
desire is gratified by means of
the vernier variable condenser,
which is a very fine adjustment
of a larger condenser.
Not only is the single circuit I
regenerative receiver undesirable
for personal use, but while using
it, if it is in a state of oscillation, I
it will become a miniature trans- i
mitter that will emit a high
pitched whistle that, while you
yourself are not aware of it, your
radio vieighbors certainly are.
Do not allow your set to os
cillate, if it is a single circuit
receiver. Cut down on the dial
controlling the regeneration —
you will hear as well and your
neighbors will not be troubled.
If you change your circuit to a 1
double or triple by the use of
a vario coupler, you will not have
to even think about being trouble
some, radioly speaking.

RADIOTORIAL
We Begin. Atlantic City Broadcasting Station?
For the benefit of the Atlantic County Radiomen, we hereby
begin a real, live, up-to-the-minute radio department. Tech
nical radio may be had through the numerous publications
on the market today whiah deal most thoroughly with the
subject, but the real help to the non-technical radio fan is
via the radio section that we intend to issue every week.
It wasn’t so very long ago that the man who delved into
the mysteries of radio was considered a truly Irt'illiant experi
menter. Only the radio man himself realized how over-esti
mated he was. Today it’s all quite different. Any fellow
who has any trace of being mechanically inclined may build
outfits that in many instances surpass the manufactured sets
both in workmanship and results, thanks to the newspaper
broad enough to publish this helpful material. Those who
do 'not wish to build their own may buy completed outfits
and derive just as much benefit and enjoyment from the
results..*
To make this department a truly helpful one, we hereby
invite anyone having any trouble with radio in any of its
phases, to write to the Radio Editor of this department, stat
ing their trouble, and they may assure themselves of helpful
advice. Don’t hesitate. If an answer is desired by mail,
a stamp-addressed envelope should be enclosed.
Competition may be the life of trade, but no one would
realize it, if it Were not for ADVERTISING.
Until recently, the only really effective method of advertis
, ing wasrby the sense of sight. Radio has opened a new way
to advertise—by the sense of hearing. The larger merchan
dising establishments have realized the value of radio broad
casting for getting their name across to the public, but we
fail to comprehend the reason as why cities have missed
| the point.
Atlantic City SHOULD have a super-powerful broadcasting
station. A station that can tell the world that it is alive
and kicking would absolutely, more than pay for itself in a
year’s time.
Atlantic City is the leading shore resort of the United
States—perhaps the world. Atlantic City prides itself on
the fact that it is one of the most progressive cities in the
United States. Every one, who has ever visited Atlantic
City, leaves with that “come again” feeling. But why keep
it a secret? There is no doubt but that Atlantic City is known
all over the world, but what percentage of the population of
even the United States has visited us? Not so very great a
| number, if we be really truthful with ourselves,
j Approximately 5,000,000 people in the United States listen
i in “on the air.” This number is increasing by leaps and
j bounds every dfey. If, after listening to an entertaining pro
gram, five million people hear, '“This is Station XYZ, the
radio broadcasting station of Atlantic City, the greatest re
[ sort in the world”—that means something.
It therefore stands to reason that if all the people who
have ever visited our city leave with the feeling that their
time was well spent, AND this number CAN be doubled or
even tripled, why not employ this means? I An Atlantic City ..
Broadcasting Station must be built. We lead—others follow.,
We should be happy to hear our readers’ point of view on
this most important suggestion. Write and tell us what YOU
think of this. J. ABNER GELULA.

Specifications of „
Standard Receiving Sets
The following article should be
of vital interest to not only the
dyed-in-the-wool radio amateur,
but for the individual just con
templating as to the type of out
fit to buy and generally who’s
; who and what’s what in the line
of radio, ready built.
We do not hesitate to mention
names and tell all that we know
of that particular outfit, for we
believe that credit belongs to the
manufacturer who is not para
sitic, i. e., does not take advan
tage of the fact that the average
individual knows Bathing what
soever about radio. As to the
manufacturer who cares nothing
for reputation or quality—we’d
better»stop here.
The Cutting and Washingtoh
radio apparatus is manufactured
in Minneapolis, Minn. This com
pany has been manufacturing
; radio apparatus for the U. S.
Navy for many years and their
; Navy products are known as the
j old standl^y. The new broadcast
apparatus is known as the 11-A.
This outfit lists at $135. It is a
triple circuit tuner, regenerative,
uses three tubes and operates ef
ficiently on a wave length range
of 225 to 615 meters. It has
tube detector, with two stages
of audio frequency amplification.
Three tuning controls are re
quired for full control of both
wave length and regeneration.
For tuning it uses two variable
'condensers, no variocoupler or
variometer. It will work well
only on an outdoor aerial. The
set is 8x7x19. The weight is 25
pounds. It comes in a well-made
walnut cabinet with bakelite
panel. A range of 1500 miles is
claimed. The outfit was designed
Aipril of 1923.
One of the best known radio
outfits on the market today is the
DeForest D-7. It hardly' needs
an introduction. This outfit sellB
for $112. It is a double circuit
tuner, is not regenerative, but
works on a system of amplifica
tion known as “Reflex,” which
means using the same tubes for
both radio and audio freqency,
amplification. It operates on a
wave length range of from 150
to 700 meters. It has three stages
of radio add two of audio fre
quency amplification. It has only
two tuning controls, a variation
