IDEAL RECEIVER
Low Tension from the Mains
It has long been recognised that in the ideal radio receiver all sup- plles of electrielty, both for high tension and low tension, should be derived from the electric light
mains.
.Because the dry 11.T. battery was indoubtedly the least satisfactory element in radio equipment, the question of elminating the H.T. battery was the first to be tackled and for some years past listeners have been able to purchase battery eliminators or supply units for providing H.T. current for radio receivers from direct or alternating current electric light mains.
There then remained the elimina. tion of L.T. acumulators, Truth to tell, no wholly satisfactory al- ternative for the accumulator has been found for use in districts where the electric light supply is direct current, but on alternating current systems the bugbear of heavy and messy accumula- tors which require charging at Irequent intervals and often have to be carried considerable distances to a charg
ing station can be avoided by the

Indirectly Heated Valves The most satisfactory types of alternating current mains valves are these known as indirectly heated valves. In those, instead of obtain- ing the electron emission from an nctivated filament, the heat is gen- erated in a filament operating on alternating current and is trans- ferred by radiation to an in- dependent and highly activated cathode from which alectrons are emitted. In this way all risk of hum due to use of alternating cur- rent is avoided.
In addition to the convenience resulting from the elimination of L.T. accumulators, the indirectly heated valves possess a further ad vantage, in that their characteristics are distinctly better than those of the corresponding battery heated valves, The improved character: istics are due to the fact that the electron emitting cathode is of larger area and it is possible to ar- to the range the grid closer cathode than in an ordinary battery hasted valve.
As an indication of the efficiency of the Indirectly heated valves, the Mullard Indirectly heated screened grid valve type 8. 4V can be com pared with the corresponding 4-volt battery heated valve type P.M.14, the former having an amplification factor of 1,000 as compared with
