SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN 'Why Power Tubes nud" SprrlAl ' - r Tubes J.. . . .i - 'One of the chief causes .of dis tortion In receiving practice Is the overloading of tubes, particularly the last tube. A tube is expected to handle the full output of all tubes preceding It. .Yet,: when It is, noted that the usual receiving tube is bus a 1-watt tube, capable of del ivering only 1-10 watt of relatively undistorted output, it Is easily seen that-with super-sensitive re-4 ceivers and. high-power transmit ters now in use. sucha tube is hardly suited for handling full vol ume with tone purity. To overcome the difficulty, vari ous kinds, of power tubes have been introduced, for it lawfully re alized today that the best coupling devices, be they transformers im pedances, or resistors cannot make up in tone quality for an over loaded tube. Typical of the pre sent power tubes are the UX-112. W. E. 216-A and the Daven MC- 6 types, for storage battery oper ation. The MU-, while available for all power purposes, is basically designed for use as the last tube in a resistance-coupled amplifier. and for other types as well. hazard choice have given up the contemplated trip and sought oth er scenes? To those who havw, the an nouncement that Union Oil Com pany of California has prepared road maps covering the entire Pa cific Coast slope including British Columbia, Arizona and Nevada, will be welcome news. The maps are free to the motorist. They have been placed with independ ent dealers handling Union OU products and also with the com pany's serviee stations fro dlstrl bution to all motorists who may desire them. In all, four maps have been pre pared by this California oil cor poration. One deals with Califor nia, Oregon and Washington; a second covers British Columbia; a third deals with Arizona and the fourth with Nevada. Each may, which is made up in handy pocket size, carries a wealth of informa tion to the motorist. There is shown for instance such import ant facts as paved through routes. paved secondary routes, graveled through and graveled secondary routes and unimproved routes.

That there Js no an au-around tube, unless we think in terms of makeshift-used anywhere and every wherelrrespec tiye of , results, is ojbvious. Take the case of resistance coupling, now so extensively employed in manufactured and home-made re ceivers wherein tone quality is the paramount consideration. This me thod, while admittedly free from distortion from the very first ap plication, originally did not pos sess sufficient volume to compete with transformer coupling, even with three tubes as against two. Also, the "B" battery drain mav have been high. However, a small group of radio engineers went to work on resistances-coupled ampli fication, finally evolving not only 'the ideal combination of resistors but also the MU-20 or high am- squares of excelsior packing such as are found in egg cases, and .cot-' ton batting, inclosed in a khakt drill covering.' ' The mattress is light and comfortable and makes -a small roll for packing. Cut the cotton batting to the length and width desired and lay squares of excelsior on top; then place another layer of cotton on top o fthe excelsior. Using a large needle and twine, tie all together, just as old time quilts were fast-' ened. spacing the knots about eight Inches apart. Then make the cover and repeat the .tying pro cess, so that the mattress will bold its shape under rough usage. Popular Science Monthly. : The Opera House Drug Store. .
