Star-Shaped Coil Winding While experimenting with a certain hook-up, the writer needed a fixed inductance of 50 turns of wire, wound on a 3-inch tube. Not having a tube at hand, the coil was wound as follows: On a board about 6 inches square, two triangles were drawn, to form a star; the sides of the angles were 3 inches loHg. At the apex of each triangle a nail was driven securely into the board, and this was used as a form for the winding. The wire was twisted a few times around A and brought over and around the outside of B, then around C, and up to A, and then to D. This is approximately equal to one turn on a 3-inch tube. The winding continues on the second triangle in the same manner as on the first: From D to E, to F, to D, and then to B, etc., until the 50 turns were wound. A thin coat of colodium was applied to the coil and allowed to dry, after which the nails were removed and a drop of sealing wax put on the beginning and ending of the winding to hold them in place. This made a very neat appearing coil, very convenient to tap and of much lower distributed capacity than if wound on a 3-inch tube. — J. F. Reiners, Springfield, Mass. Warning to Save Tubes For the lasting' benefit of your readers, the following word of advice recently in your columns should be placed on your first page continuously, under such a head as "Beware," and to include some valuable hints and warnings from time to time, such as this: "Never leave the high-tension battery Look at this Set Equipped with the NEW $1.00 Miller-B-Mctal Semi-Fixed Crystal (Reg U.S. Pat Off. Other Pat. Pending) $ All for 1.79 Here's a splendid crystal set — clear and plenty of volume up to 600 meters. In this set, as a special offer, is included the New Miller-BMetal Semi-Fixed Crystal which alone retails for $1.00. A highly polished bakelite disc which can be rotated over the entire crystal is a noticeable feature of the Miller SemiFixed Crystal. "With this new crystal you set your catwhisker and enjoy the concert — no adjusting necessary. Miller Guarantee back of every one, of course. Send money order or we will ship C. O. D.

MILLER, President Originator of B-Metal Formula leads near the filament leads when they are disconnected, as contact will result in the burning out of the tube." A tenderfoot myself and owner of a 3-tube reflex set, I had always supposed that that if I did not disturb the B battery connections, or go inside the box with a screw driver, I was pretty safe not to blow out my tubes. I learned my mistake when, having discontinued my storage A battery for use elsewhere, I later attempted to connect it to the set. The three tubes died out the instant I turned on the rheostat. This leads me to suggest a second warning to be given to amateur and professional manufacturers of Radio sets — not to use one binding post for common use for both A and B batteries, as to one pole of each. The ruination of my tubes must have been caused by my hitching up the wrong A lead to the post which both batteries had to share on the panel. I was obsessed with a notion I had gathered in looking over the diagram of a small set I had put together, that A — and B — were always tied together any way in a circuit, and that they should share the one common hitching post on the reflex set panel, with the results above mentioned. — E.
