The ordinary broadcast and this produces a very large band mentioned at the beginning Pulsating current which whilst of these notes is 200-580 metres flowing through the resistance of which is 515 to 1,500 kilocycles the H.T. battery sets up an alter- making the band 985 K.C. wide. nating voltage which in turn feeds (Readers should bear in mind that back through the other stages pro- Home manufacturers still call this ducing distortion.

For 1929 the shortwave broadcast hand is arranged as under:

Kilocyclea W/L. in metres 6000 6150

The first step towards curing this is to provide an alternative path for these impulses by connecting a 2 mfc, condenser between each tap- ping and as near as possible to the component to which the H.T. is ap plied and the H.T. negative. This method will reduce the tendency to back coupling but another difficulty im- One should not therefore think arises. The resistance or

Enquiries Welcomed I shall now consider how to cut out as much interference as pos- sible. 16.9-16.85 metres give us a band of 50 kilocycles or 50,000 cycles. This gives us a fairly good margin to work on. Most receivers. are fitted with tuning condensers of from .0001 to 0003 mfd. capacity. | Although by means of slow motion 'dials we can get fine tuning yet the capacity is too large for con-

with the frequency of the signal that it has to by-pass. A 2 mfd. condenser has an impedance of about 300 ohms at 100 cycles whilst at 50 cycles it is 1,800 ohms. This makes the condenser relatively in- effective for the purpose of by- passing and to make it effective would mean increasing the capacity which is uneconomical. This isi where the Anode Feed comes in which makes it possible at a com- paratively small cost to overcome the tendency to back coupling. By adopting this principle burning out or damaging valves is also avoided,
