that a prospect upon whom he has

'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.

To those who havw, the an
nouncement that Union Oil Com

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,

shown for instance such import

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.
