SERIES-PARALLEL Radio Fans Can't Do Without It; Diagram; Proves a 3 1 . jt4fvtra To Set Six oonneotlens by means By ISRAEL KLEIN (NEA Service Radio Editor) I5ADIO dabblera and other exper ienced fans can't do without a sories-parallel switch. A series-parallel switch is one that is so constructed as to permit the connection of either of two .pieces of apparatua to another, or the switching of positive and negative connections, between two electrical circuits. The simplest form of switching to which this ia applied Is shown In No. 1 ot the accompanying sketch. The series-parallel awitch, in this ease, Is connected so that either the headset or the loud apeaker may be used with a receiving set All it needs is twisting from one to an other. The receiver haa. four con tacts as shown, and there are two each to headset and loud apeaker. The contacta are made as sketched. Saves Batteries Sketch No. 2 shows a useful and convenient arrangement, whereby the battery current to the receiver, from both A and B batterlee may be turned on or off. The awitch controls the current from both these batteries and saves wasting of current when these ore not in use. The connections and tapa are made inaugural address. No one in.Lu gene woe able to do it, and you don't hear Portland fana boaeung about it, either. Ton of the company of KQO play ers, under the direction, of Win a Wilson Church ot Oakland, Cel., will speak the parts of Booth lark lngton's comedy, "Clarence, for the pleasure of radio listeners on Inure day evening, March 12.

VKcx, 1491 Pearl atreet: "Eaatera stations usually come in loud and dear over our radio, w e ve had New York numeroua times, am Oklahoma City, Chicago, Denver and Texas. Quite often we have a group of friends in to danec, and the radio always furnlahes themuslc. Cardinal Gasparri, on behalf of hia holiness the pope, haa expressed great appreciation of thai gift of a special receiving aot now in use In the Vatican.

Its very low cost recommends It to those who cannot afford a do luxe aet ABM SWITCH IS USED Six Connections Are Shown In Saver on Batteries S7 1 of series-parallel switch aa ahown with the A battery along the line at the left of the two. If you happen to have two aerials, or an outside aerial and a grounded loop, sketch No. 8 shows how to Join these to the aet through a series parallel switch. By this arrange ment, either one of the aeriala may be chosen by the mere turning of tho switch. A variation of this la ahown by sketch No. 4. Here there is one aerial and ground, but two receivera. Thua one or the other receiver may be switched to the aerial and ground. For Testers Sketch No. D shows a convenient arrangement by which the polarity of the A battery may be awitched. Experimenters will find this one of the most useful meana of using either positive or negative voltage on the filaments, at will. The last aketch Is UBeful to every fan. It ahowa how to arrange the switching polnta ao that the battery can either be connected to the aet or to a battery charger for recharg ing. After the aet la naed each night, or every other night, the switch can be turned over to the charger side, and the battery allowed to bring the battery up to normal value. Kansae City. Cleveland.
