To =implify the wiring of the Tecelver mount all the parcs except the two variable condensers, 5 and 7, and you will then be ready for the wiring. If you leave these condensers un- mounted until after you have wired the first part of the receiver you will eliminate a lot of the trouble you would otherwise have in trying to work inaccessible places. Begin the wiring by connecting the B terminal of switch 4 with the an- tenna terminal 1 by a wire running along the baseboard and then up toward the antenna terminal. Then connect this wire with the D terminal of tuner 3, the A terminal of tuner 3, terminal 20 and terminal 21. Then connect together In the order named with a single piece of wire terminal B of rheostat 6, terminal A of switch 4 and tKe A terminal of transformer 14. The B terminal of fixed condenser 13 should be connect- ed with the wire just mentloned. Then connect terminal 22, the posi- the THE EVENING Now connect the A terminal of rheostat 6 with the negative F ter- minel of socket 17 and the negative ¥ terminal of socket 11. The B terminal of tuner 3 should be connected with the ground post 2. The C terminal of tuner 3 should be connected with the G terminal of socket 11. Now connect the P terminal of transformer 12 with the P terminal of socket 11, The G terminal of transforme e should be connected with the minal of socket 17. Next connect to- gether the B terminal of transformer 18, the A spring of jack 10 and the A terminal of condenser 19. The P terminal of transformer 18 should be connected with the P ter- minal of socket 17. Rules for Commections. If you are using the same \.\xn.i of fixed condensers 13 and 16, crystal detector 15 and transformer 14 you can make the necessary connections between the B terminal of crystal detector 15, the B terminal of con- | denser 16 and the P terminal of transformer 14 by slipping the B ter- ffii\wniiww | * * * STAR, WASHINGTON, of condenser 6, should be connected with the wire that goes from the C terminal of tuner 3 to the G terminal of socket 11. The rotary plates, terminal B of condenser 5, should be connected with the wire that goes to terminal A of transformer 14, thus connecting the rotary plates of the condenser with nnlz negative side of the filament cir- cuit. The stationary plates, terminal A of condenser 7, should be connected with the wire that goes to the G terminal of socket 17. The rotary plates, terminal B of condenser 7, should be connected with the G terminal of transformer 14. Now connect the B spring of jack 10 with output terminal 8. The C spring of jack 10 should be connected with output terminal 9. The last connection nn, is made by ting together the D spring of A Lifetime Xmas Gift = — & 5 TRADE MARK D. jack 10, the B terminal of trans- former 12 and the positive B battery, terminal 23. The A and B battery connections should be made as indicated in the panel and baseboard layout. The tuning of the set is very sim- ple. The only really critical control is that necessary with condenser b. The adjustment obtained with the two other controls—namely, with con- densers 7 and tuner 3—serve to sharpen the tuning and increase the signal strength, but the adjustment 1s not very critical. A little practice will soon make you proficient in tuning and you will soon acquire the ability to tune in the dis- tant stations. If you require strong loud speaker volume you can add any of the ampli- fier units which I have described in previous articles.
