Clifi's Ten Arcadia Syncopators Some Facts About lLoud Speakers and Phones. Some fans are at a loss to under- stand the increase obtained when two or speakers are connected with a radio They seem to have the idea that because the energy the plate circuit is the same, the same amount of volume should be obtained because the energy is divided among If we take a poorly built loudspeaker or phone and con- nect it into the plate circuit of the detector or audio frequency amplifier the results obtained will be far from If we substitute a well- made speaker in its place, much better results will be obtained. the better design of the speaker makes all the difference in the world between the results obtained, even though thc receiver and the amount of current flowing in the circuit is the same. Turns of Wire Count. A poor loudspeaker, made with poor material, having windings of a higt resistance material to give it ance rather than ampere turns, wil give poor results because the amount of magnetic flux which it produces is than that produced properly designed winding made of ¢ a ber of turns of low resist-|c (s ; large num’ s of hoth| & C: Meredith, president; Dr. J.

STELLWAGEN handling will cause a break in the wire. Such a break is hard to see in a flexible wire. and in many cases a sufficient contact is maintained to permit operation to some extent. Usually such operation is accompanied by crackling noises very similar to static disturbances. An easy way to determine whether the fault is in the cord is to turn on the set and then take a small section of the cord at a time and twist it back and forth between your fingers, If the cord is sound, such treatment of the cord will not be accompanied by crackling noises, but if there is any break, you will hear noises as you bend it back and forth. It is also a good plan to make sure that the cord tips are firmly soldered to the ends of the cord, and that the | terminals of the cords are strongiy connected with the binding posts of the reproducing unit. Failure of the | unit to operate may be due to a break |in the wire between the end of the magnet winding and the cord binding post terminal. g @ 2 Gun Club Organized. Special Dispatch to The Star.
