THE,:)rdmary broadcast side of wireless on

the medium and long waves under existing

circumstances, has :ost much of its early appeal

.. .to the real radio enthusiast. This is due to the range

of these wavelengths being limited and the general

reception conditions a known quantity.

Short wave radio, on the other hand, offers the

World as a field for Nception with that unknown

factor, the ether, to add to the thrill of the game.

Further, on the ultra short waves, which are coming

into greater prominence and exists a whole

Held for t-4titiine experiment at present comparatively

unexplored.

We hope that this third number of the Eddystone

Short Wave Manual will prove of help and interest to

those who wish to join the ranks of radio enthusiasts

who find this the most interesting side of wireless.

A POWERFUL 2 VALVE SHORT WAVE BATTERY RECEIVER

WITH BANDSPREAD TUNING.

The set has a smart

front appearance ----

The Eddystone All World Two receiver

is designed to give adequate world wide head-

phone reception with a minimum expenditure.

It is the outcome of considerable research in

our laboratory and during extensive tests

results were highly satisfactory ; America,

Australia and other long distant stations being

consistently received with good volume and

quality.The set is inexpensive and easy to build ;

simple to operate and has small current

consumption. It is equally suitable for short

wave broadcast or amateur band reception

since it is fitted with the special Eddystone

Bandspread Tuning unit, which allows contin-

uous bandspreading on all wavebands. The

waverange covered by the two coils supplied

with the receiver is 15 to 52 metres, but if it is

wished to receive on intermediate bands

between 50 and 200 metres, extra coils are

available and no structural or wiring alterations

necessary.

There is a high degree of sensitivity com-

bined with low noise level, and careful design

of the aerial input circuit has completely

eliminated tuning blind spots. Constant and

smooth reaction has negligible effect on tuning

and complete stability of handling is assured.

A rigid die-cast chassis houses the component

parts and provides ample screening.

The theoretical circuit embodies a screened

H.F. Pentode valve followed by an audio

stage which can use either triode or pentode

valve as desired. The aerial input circuit,

although simple in design, was only satis-

factorily developed after protracted experi-

ments on many different types of aerials.

It ensures complete freedom from tuning

blind spots, thus saving the extra cost of an

H.F. stage which is the generally accepted

medium for overcoming such trouble. Re-

generation is obtained by a modified Reinartz

circuit, feedback current being controlled by

varying the S.G. voltage with a potentiometer.

The high tension battery is suitably isolated

to prevent current leakage through the

potential divider circuit.

CONSTRUCTION.

Proceed as follows :

The sockets for the aerial and earth and

'phone strips should be mounted and the strips

finally screwed on the back of the chassis by

the " 6BA roundhead screws provided.

All holes in the chassis marked " E " on

the practical wiring diagram must be carefully

scraped above and below the chassis as earth

connections are made at these points.

Mount the 1+1 mfd. condenser on the

front of the chassis with countersunk screws,

and fix the two valveholders and coil base in

position. Do not forget the soldering tags "E"

under some of the fixing screws.

The reaction trimmer is now mounted in

its appropriate fixing holes. The reaction

potentiometer, on -off switch and tank con-

denser should be assembled on the chassis,

the panel and 0-10 scales fitted, and the panel

held in position by the switch, condenser and

potentiometer fixing nuts.

To ensure absolutely noiseless reaction

control the specified variable potentiometer

should be used.

and a tidy,

attractive chassis lay out.

EDDYSTONE SHORT WAVE MANUAL

ALL WORLD TWO-continued

The tank condenser spindle should be

turned until the moving plates are fully out

of mesh with the fixed plates and the pointer

knob fixed opposite the 0 division on the scale

by screwing up the small grub screw. By

turning the knob clockwise, the condenser

will rotate in 10 steps up to the maximum

capacity.

Turn the reaction spindle as far anti-

clockwise as it will go, and fix the pointer

knob so that the pointer is placed at the posi-

tion which the small hand of a clock points

to at eight o'clock. :

It is advisable to leave the tuning con-

denser off the panel until all the wiring is

finished. This enables the chassis to be

mounted upside down on the edge of a table

to facilitate wiring. Wires Nos. 9 and 10 may

be connected at one end, but the free ends

left until the rest of the wiring is completed.

Certain condenser and resistances not

already assembled are automatically supported

by their connections, so the wiring may now

be commenced, and should be carried out

without difficulty with the aid of the wiring

plan on centre pages and point to point

connection list on pages 4 and 5 overleaf.

VALVES.

The kit has been designed around the

Mullard SP2 Screened Grid andllazOa`sP32.9

Triode valves. The constructor may use any

of the two other triode valves specified or

alternatively one of the three pentode valves

listed below.

The average total number of milliamps

for any of the pentodes or triodes are given in

the right-hand column below, from which

it will be seen that the use of the pentode type

of output does not increase the consumption

of the receiver, but does in practice consider-

ably add to the signal strength.

A five -pin valveholder is fitted in the

output stage, the centre pin automatically

connecting the auxiliary grid to the H.T.

supply when a pentode is used.

An automatic bias resistance. is incorpor-

ated in this receiver, and it has been dalculated

to be equally suitable for the following output

OPERATION.

Unscrew aerial trimmer to nearly mini-

mum capacity and put tuning dial at 0°

and the tank condenser at position 0. Switch

on by turt*ig the switch to the right, and

adjust reaction trimmer until a faint rushing.

sound is hard in the 'phones when the

reaction control is turned three-quarters of

the way clockwise. It will generally be found

that the reaction trimmer has to be screwed

fully clockWise for correct oscillation. Stations

may now be tuned in. Leaving the tank

condenser at 0, turn the tuning dial from

0 to 100 degrees, keeping the set just off

the verge of oscillation for telephony and

weakly oscillating for 'GMT. signals. Stations

will now4e heard. Turn tank condenser

to No. lliositio'n and again tune from 0

to 100: deg*ees; and so on until the whole

10 positions of the tank condenser have been

explorftd; -The receiver should not be calibrated

until the optitnium setting of the aerial

trimmer has been found. Proceed likewise

with other. coil.

TWO-continued

For the best results with any aerial, the

aerial trimmer screw should be turned half

a turn clockwise at a time until a blind spot

is found on one of the two coils. Then reduce

the setting of this condenser until the blind

spot disappears. This position will give maxi-

mum selectivity ,and sensitivity. In short,

use as much capacity as possible for the aerial

trimmer, consistent with freedom from blind

spots. The set may now be calibrated, but

the aerial trimmer should not be re -adjusted

again since this would alter calibrations.

To achieve maximum efficiency however,

alarger value condenser (our Catalogue

No. 1013 being quite suitable) may be used

in place of the aerial trimmer. Blind spots

may be prestnt but can usually be moved to

a part of the band which does not matter. If

this alteration is made the wave range charts

on page 7 will not apply.

If no signals are heard, check the receiver

with a milliammeter and a voltmeter. The

following voltages and currents should obtain

with 115 volt H.T. supply :

SP2-Anode Current (approx.) 0.25 m.a.

knode Voltage 90 volts.

P220-Anode Current 3 m.a.

Anode Voltage 115 volts.

Potentiometer Current 1.25 m.a.

Total Current 4.5 m.a. at 115 volts.

These figures are for an average kit and

will vary slightly for individual receivers.

CONTINUOUS BANDSPREADING.

Tuning is accomplished by means of two

parallel condensers. The band required is

selected by the large condenser which is

variable in ten equal steps only and is called

the tank condenser. A small vernier condenser

slightly larger in capacity than the capacity

difference between the steps on the tank

condenser, is used for final tuning.

Suppose the coils were tuned in the normal

way with a .00016 mfd. variable condenser.

Then the 6LB coil would tune from approxi-

mately 19,350 kc/s. at 0° on the dial to

10,100 kc/s. at 100°. Thus, a frequency

bandwidth of 9,250 kc/s. is obtained by

turning the condenser through 100 degrees on

the dial. With the bandspreading system

employed in this receiver the band required is

selected by putting the tank condenser knob

on, say, No. 5 position, and the small tuning

condenser then tunes a frequency bandwidth

of only 855 kc/s. approximately, as the dial

is rotated from 0 to 100 degrees. Since we

have only covered a 1/10th of the previous

waveband tuning is ten times as easy as with

a normally tuned receiver. As the tuning

condenser has a 9 : 1slow motion head in-

corporated in its movement, it will be

appreciated that tuning difficulties are stig

further decreased.

To give the constructor an idea of

how the various bands are " spread " the

curves on page 7 were taken on a specimen

receiver. These show the effect of bandspread-

ing, the numbers on the curves indicating

the position of the pointer knob on the

tank condenser, while the figures on the

horizontal line refer to the degrees on .the

tuning condenser dial.

It will be seen that the 14 megacycle

amateur band is " spread " over 40 degrees

on the 6LB coils, while the 6Y coil brings in

the 7 megacycle band over SO degrees on the

dial. These figures c!early show why this

receiver is suitable for amateur reception.

The overlaps between the various settings of

the tank condenser have been designed so

that no stations will be missed.

EDDYSTONE SHORT WAVE MANUAL

THE "EVERYMAN" SHORT WAVER

A 4 -VALVE BATTERY RECEIVER WITH BANDSPREAD TUNING.

1 5 - 1 00 METRES.

Here is a specially designed short wave

receiver which is simple to construct and

relatively inexpensive. An ideal set capable

of giving loud speaker results that will satisfy

the ardent short wave enthusiast.

The circuit has been based on that of the

Eddystone " Kilodyne Four," a set which

has already achieved a world-wide reputation

for performance and reliability. The patented

method of bandspread tuning makes the

receiver easy to handle and facilitates the

thrill of world-wide reception on the short

wave bands. The circuit consists of a high

frequency amplifier, detector and two low

frequency stages. It is free from " blind

spots " or hand capacity, and has smooth

and gentle reaction control. The set does not

re -radiate and can be used without any inter-

ference to the general domestic receiver.

CONSTRUCTION.

The wiring plan and point to point con-

nection details make this quite straightforward.

It is best to proceed as follows :-

Make up panel and baseboard as shown

in sketch on page opposite. Only simple

tools are needed and plywood will be most

suitable. The chassis or panel can, of course,

be polished to suit individual choice. A

metal panel is not recommended, it may cause

hand capacity. The assembly comes next ;

but first for ease of wiring, it will be advan-

tageous to tin or give the connecting points

a coat of solder before parts are fixed in place.

Lay out components as shown in wiring

plan and proceed to fasten them down.

It should be noted that the coil base and valve-

holder of V2 are mounted on insulating pillars.

When fixing variable condensers to panel

take care to bed down squarely otherwise

pointer may foul panel.

Make sure in the wiring that all joints arc

strongly made. One poor or high resistance

joint can adversely affect the set's performance,

or alternatively may give the set a very high

background noise level whith is most unde-

sirable.

Baseboard view showing general lay out

of components.

BATTERIES.

A 2-irolt low-tension is needed, the Exide

D.F.G. or larger capacity being suitable.

High-tension should be a minimum of 120 volts.

This can, with some advantage to quality, be

increased to 150 volts. The grid bias battery

should be 4i volts. G.B. - 1 from the 1 meg.

leak goes to the 1volt tapping, G.B. - 2

from the transformer to 3 or 44 volts according

to anode voltage used. L.T. current is .55

amperes and H.T. 12. m/a at 120 volts. On

the battery leads there are two spade con-

nections to L.T. battery and two wander

plugs for H.T. battery.

TRYING OUT AND OPERATING

THE SET.

Insert a coil, and then starting with both

tuning, tank, and reaction condenser at

minimum, switch on the receiver. Increase

the reaction control slowly by means of the

vernier knob until at a certain point the set

will begin to oscillate ; this will be noticeable

immediately, since a low " rushing " sound

will be heard. Throughout the whole tuning

operations, this reaction control should be so

adjusted that the set is always only just in the

oscillating condition. The reaction control

should never be turned any more than is

ticessary for the first reaction sound to be
