'It la the biggest boon to radio tinea the advent of all electrio seta, Mr. du Buy." "Why?" "Bacauaa the ersen grid tuba has an amplification of 400 against an amplification of 8 In the former A. 0. tubes." "The gets we aold laat year seamed to bare plenty of power." "Tea, apparently, but soma of them used regeneration In the colli to get It. That will mike a set seem powerful and seleotlre but regeneration makes the higher tones tufty and detracts from the tone quality of the Instrument" "Are screen grid tabes still in the experimental stager -No, The great poaalblllUes of this tube were disclosed In 1911 when laboratory models were perfected and used In a 4-ataga R. P. amplifier which gave an unuanal amount of amplification without any ten dency toward oacUatlon, or squealing." "Then why hare they not been used boforet" "It has required moat of the tntaral of ten years that haa elapsed between the time the first laboratory models were made and the present date to perfect the tubes for general use." "Will all radio manufacturers ase the screen grid tubes this yearT "Probably SO per cent of them will, but a radio receiver mutt b engineered carefully from the ground up In order to obtain all the advantagea of the screen grid tubes and at Uie same time avoid the pit falls." "Screen grid tubes must be a greater Improvement to radio than balloon tires and 4-wheel brakes were to the automo bile." "Absolutely. And do you re member the grlof some mnnu faoturera had with balloon tires T Many manufacturers placed thnae tires on cars then in production In order to meet quickly the public's demand. Aa a result many disadvan tages ware evident became proper clearances wore not available In existing modnla, turning radii were too great, etc. On the other hand, these manufarturnra who properly da elgned their modnla to aerure the full advantage of balloon tires were successful, their dealers made money, the pub lic was satisfied. Those menu faclurxra who have carefully engineered their screen grid rerelvere will also be success ful." "Thank yon, Mr. Trrakel.
