The leads to the grid of the varicus tubes skould be as short and direct as is possible to make them. Plate and grid leads should be separated or run at right angles. The fAla-- ment leads are not important in regard to their relation to others, but they should not be run all over e set. f [ In wiring the set, It is not neces sary to use heavy bus bar that can hardly be bent, but the wire should be self supporting and when bent a certain way, should remain th tm position. If it does not, it may and touch other circuits which wfl' either reduce the efficiency of Ah«@ set, make reception Jmpossible, or, burn out the audions should the, plate leads get tangled up with the Alament wires. { Some of the wiring may be done before all the parts are mounted.' Go at the wiring job in a systematiel manner. If you start on the fila-- ment circuits, finish them all before jumping to something else, because it you de not, you are liable to over-- look some--connection and your set will not work. A good plan in wir-- ing the set is to mark off the blue print as you put in each wire. Then when mthlnk you have all the P!ren fun, check over your blue print and if you find a line not lead lmcllod. check the set to 1.0 it the wire has been run.
