In general, a condenser or other control in the aerial circuit should not be calibrated because any change in the aerial will spoil the calibration.

Let each division on the her- izontal axis represent so many me- ters. and each division on the ver- tical axis represent so many de- grees 0n the dial you are calibrat- ing. Use any convenient scale for this work. Thus for each station on your list, there will be a definite point on the chart. For station, “TAA. the point is 70 dial divisions up from the horizontal axis and 476 diyisions to the right of the vertical axns. Supposing now that you wish to hear a distant station that you have never heard before. and that you know it is transmitting on a wave length of 510 meters. Draw a per- pendicular line up from the 510 mark on the horizontal axis. Where this line crosses the calibration curve, draw a line parallel to the horizontal axis until it crosses the vertical axis. The point at which this line crosses the vertical axis gives the proper dial setting for the reception of that station._ __ If you are receiving a station and wish to know the wave length, you can find it by just reversing the pro- cess explained above. When you have finished plotting tho points for each station. you will notice that thov fall along a fairly straight lino. Connect those points with a smooth line. and your cali- brgtion is complete.
