Dodd's Version of the 1. Cockaday DX Regenerative Receiver. In the January 1. Radio Broadcast magazine. Laurence Cockaday presented an article describing what features were. DX reception. Cockaday's article also. The DX. Regenerative Receiver circuit Cockaday presents in the Radio Broadcast. It was important the the builder of this. The plans also show that the two interstage transformers. It's. interesting that Cockaday goes into great detail about the wiring layout. His comparisons of buss wiring to. For example, the plans list a. Tuska molded variometer but Dodd uses a Gilfillan Bros. Since Dodd was located in the Los Angeles area (as. Gifillan Bros. The dials, the tube sockets and the. Gilfillan parts. Dodd's version also features. Allen- Bradley. compression resistance in the one meg- ohm range. It appears that. the receiver originally used a fixed grid- leak since there's a. The. panel features gold decals for identification of the control. There are rheostats for each of the vacuum tube. This implies. that 1 Amp tubes are to be used in the circuit, a UV- 2. UV2. 01 hard amplifiers. Now first, I have to say that at that time the Dodd- Cockaday receiver was in. It had been infested with mice that. January 1. 92. 3 Radio. Broadcast magazine that was inside the receiver cabinet and defecating. Also. the right side piece of the cabinet had been removed (by Dodd) so. For 1. 7 years I never even looked seriously at the Dodd- Cockaday. I had traded it to fellow. Roger Sannapoli but he traded it back to me after. At that point (Jan 2. I decided to go. ahead and see if the receiver could be restored. Luckily, the mice must. Of course, the inside- bottom of the cabinet was disgusting and. The variometer needed some cleaning as did the. Everything needed a thorough cleaning with. Glass Plus and various brushes. The two large variable condensers needed. Lack of Performance and. Critique of Cockaday's Circuit. Performance of the DX Regenerative Receiver is disappointing. The instructions. B+ in Cockaday's circuit.) If the variometer is connected per the instructions. A check of the variometer confirmed. Connected opposite from the instructions, e. B+ in Cockaday's circuit) and the. But. connected as Cockaday indicates, no oscillation can be achieved. Various. connections, tubes and voltages were tried and various relationships. As to what the variometer does in a regenerative. Maximum total L occurs when the axis of the rotor. The total L decreases. L as the. rotor is further turned to 1. The next quadrant of rotation decreases. L again but as a - sign with minimum - sign total L at 2. L to 3. 60deg or 0deg. An improper relationship of the rotor and stator. The usual operation has regeneration take place between. How the media of his time portrayed Ishi with possible reasons for such portrayal.

L change and that's what is tuning the plate circuit of. The regeneration occurs when the grid to plate. L of the variometer are resonant. I decided to check the regenerative detector. Kennedy 2. 20 and the Radiomarine IP- 5. A. to see how those sets. What I found in both. B+, just the opposite of what Cockaday instructs for the variometer circuit connection. I'm sure other. regenerative detectors are connected in the same manner as the Kennedy. IP- 5. 01. A. Cockaday claimed the stator coils connected to ground. B+ in Cockaday's circuit) made the tickler. The DX receiver's. I must keep the receiver original to the. Dodd's construction even if that results in. Its performance certainly must have been a disappointment to Dodd. Since it won't regenerate, it. AF amplification. Local stations are received fine but this.

The top 1. 0 most spectacularly wrong widely held scientific theories. One of the very best things about science is that the discipline is self- correcting. A scientist makes a set of observations about nature, and then devises a theory to fit those observations. Other scientists then test the theory, and if it withstands scrutiny it becomes widely accepted. At any point in the future, if contravening evidence emerges, the original theory is discarded. At its essence, and though in practice it. The following represents my best efforts to select the 1. To qualify for the list, a large number of scientists at any given time must have subscribed to the particular theory before it was eventually discarded. Thus a long list of pseudoscientific ideas, crackpot though they might be, didn. Geocentric universe: The concept that the Earth was at the center of the universe dates back to at least 6. B. C. The most famous contortion of the system was Ptolemy. This is a prime example of fitting scientific evidence into preconceived notions. The theory was disproven with the publication of Nicholas Copernicus. Miasmatic theory of disease: This theory holds that diseases such as cholera, chlamydia or the Black Death were caused by a miasma (ancient Greek: . This concept was not disposed of until the late 1. Miasma was considered to be a poisonous vapor or mist filled with particles from decomposed matter that caused illnesses. It was identifiable by its foul smell. Luminiferous aether: Assumed to exist for much of the 1. The celebrated Michelson- Morley experiment in 1. A photo of the aether appears below. Stress theory of ulcers: As peptic ulcers became more common in the 2. Medical advice during the latter half of the 2. In the 1. 98. 0s Australian clinical researcher Barry Marshal discovered that the bacterium H. Immovable continents: Prior to the middle of the 2. Earth. This began to change in 1. Alfred Wegener. Phlogiston: Arising in the mid- 1. Charcoal, for example, left little residue upon burning because it is nearly pure phlogiston. Experiments in the mid- 1. Phlogiston in nearly its most pure form? The four humours of Hippocratic medicine were black bile, yellow bile, phlegm and blood. Static universe: Prior to the observations made by astronomer Edwin Hubble during 1. Hubble found that distant objects in the universe were moving more quickly away than nearby ones. Very recently, in 1. A young Earth: In the mid- 1. Lord Kelvin, believed the Earth to be just 2. It was around that time that geologists such as Charles Lyell began to believe that the Earth was much older, and this conformed to the views of biologists such as Charles Darwin, who needed a much older Earth for evolution to unfold. Actually, this one doesn. In short, most scholarship suggests learned men and women from the dawn of antiquity knew the Earth was round. So science gets a pass on this one. That. What did I miss? NOTE: This blog entry was inspired by a question posed at The Edge and the responses of scientists to it.
