It is quite easy for anyone with a panel diagram before him to ar- range for himself a baseboard lay out, but we are mindful of the fact that unless some care is taken in wiring up a set on the American principle a poor result only may be secured.
There is an art in laying out one's components so that they may be housed in the least possible space, and arranged with due regard to wiring efficiency. This latter polht may not arise to any great extent, but in the case of an H.F. circuit the wiring must be disposed so na to avoid conflicting fields, interac tion, and capacity effects,

It should be possible to delve the hand through the cabinet lid, and remove or in- zort both coils and valves without being tempted to employ language more eloquent than courteous.
This applies especially to the coils, which, if they fit rightly into the holder, as they should do, are! not only to withdraw if the hand has to be kept bent over, say, the vanes of the variable condenser.
