Positive Proof. These devices have proved to be so successful that it has become very much the fashion for the "friend who knows a good bit about | Melody in wireless" to ascribe distortion and Cavalina general bad behaviour in an older type of aet to .f. instability, and to be rather free with advice about the use of wire-wound resistances and large fixed condensers, which, he asserts, are a positive cure for all types of poor reproduction.
Positive proof as to whether or not distortion is caused by low- frequency reaction due to battery resistance would, therefore, be very welcome.

If the suspected receiver has only | one positive h.t. lead, this resistance | should be inserted in series with it, and the value of the resistance grad- ually increased, while receiving a strong signal from the local.
If the distortion in the receiver is being caused by resistance, in the ht. supply source it is obvious that an increase of resistance in the common h.. leud will produce an in- crease of distortion. In fact, there will be very little doubt about it, since if the set is giving bad re-
