      The above metric conversion table provides a fast
    and automatic means of conversion from one metric
    notation to another. The term “Basic Unit” denotes
    the basic units of measurement, such as amperes,
    volts, ohms, watts, cycles, meters, grams, etc.
    To use the table, first locate the original or given
    value in the left-hand column. Now follow this line
    horizontally to the vertical column headed by the
    prefix of the desired value. The figure and arrow at
    this point indicates number of places and direction
    decimal point is to be moved.
    Example: Convert 0.15 ampere to milliamperes.
    Starting at the “Units” box in the left-hand column
    (since ampere is a basic unit of measurement),
    move horizontally to the column headed by the
    prefix “Milli,” and read 3->. Thus 0.15 ampere
    is the equivalent of 150 milliamperes.
    Example: Convert 50,000 kilocycles to megacycles.
    Read in the box horizontal to “kilo” and under
    “Mega,” the notation <-3, which means a shift of
    the decimal three places to the left. Thus 50,000
    kilocycles is the equivalent of 50 megacycles.

    the equivalent of .005 watts.
    This chart also serves to quickly locate
    the decimal point in the conversion from
    one metric expression to another.

    Example: Convert 5.0 milliwatts to watts.
    Place the finger on milli and count the num-
    ber of steps from there to units (since the

    Example: Convert 0.00035 microfarads to

    equivalent of 350 picofarads.

  • Single-Layer Wound Coil Chart

      The chart on th opposite page provides a convenient
    means of determining the unknown factors of small sized
    single-layer wound r-f coils.  Values thus found so cosely
    approximate those determined by measurement or
    mathematical calculation as to be entirely satisfactory
    for all practical purposes of experimentation, design,
    and repair work.  Since in all coils of this type, the
    difference between the mean and inner diameter of the
    winding is so slight as to be negigible, D in all instances
    may be either the mean or inner diameter as desired.
    Example:  Given the total number of turns, winding
    length and diameter of a coil, — to find the inductance:
    1.  Place a straightedge on the chart so as to form
    a line intersecting the number of turns N, and the
    ratio of diameter to length K, and note the point
    intersected on the linear axis column.
      2.  Now move the straightedge so as to form a second line
    which will intersect this same point on the axis column,
    and the diameter D.
    3.  The point where this line intersects the L column indicates
    the inductance of the coil in microhenries.

    Example:  Given the diameter, winding length and inductance
    in microhenries, — to find the number of turns;
    1.  Simply reverse the process outlined above for determining
    inductance.
    2.  After finding the number of turns, consult the wire table on
    page 35 and determine the size of the wire to be used.

    The dotted lines appearing on the chart illustrate the correct
    ploting of a 600 microhenry coil consisting of 100 turns of wire
    wound to 51/64″ on a form 2″ in diameter.

    Inductance, Capacitance, Reactance Charts

      The direct-reading charts appearing on the following three
    pages are designed for determining unknown values of
    frequency, inductance, capacitance and reactance components
    operating in a-f and r-f circuits.
    The simplifications embodied in these charts make them
    extremely useful.  The frequency range covered comprises
    the frequency spectrum from 1 cycle per second up to 1000
    megacycles per second.  All of the scales involved are plotted
    in actual magnitudes so that no computations are required to
    determine the location of the decimal point in the final result.
    To make these conditions possible the frequency spectrum
    has been divided into three parts:
    Chart I (page 38)–Covers the range from 1 cycle to 1000
    cycles.
    Chart II (page 39)–From 1 kilocycle to 1000 kilocycles.
    Chart III (page 40)–From 1 megacycle to 1000 megacycles.
    Inductance, capacitance, reactance and frequency have been
    plotted so that the reactance offered by an inductance at any
    frequency may be readily determined by placing a straight-edge
    across the chart connecting the know quantities.
    Since XL = XC at resonance in most radio circuits, the charts
    may also be used to find the resonant frequency of any combi-
    nation of L and C.

    To illustrate with a simple example, suppose the reactance
    of a 0.01 uf. capacitor is desired at a frequency of 400 cycles.
    Place a straight-edge across the proper chart so as to connect
    the points 0.01 uf. and 400 cycles per sec.  The quantity
    desired is the point of intersection with the reactance scale
    which is 40,000 ohms.  The straight-edge also intersects the
    inductance scale at 15.8 henrys indicating that this value of
    inductance likewise has a reactance of 40,000 ohms at 400
    cycles per sec. and furthermore, that these values of L and C
    produce resonance at this frequency.

    There are many practical uses for these charts.  The radio
    experimentor, maintenance man and engineer will find them
    helpful in the rapid solution of many reactance problems.
    Unusual care was exercised in laying out the various scales
    in order to secure a high degree of accuracy for the charts.
    Results should be obatinable which are at least as accurate
    as might be secured with a ten-inch slide rule.

  • Ohm’s Law for A-C Circuits

    The fundamental Ohm’s law formulas for
    a-c circuits are given by:
    I = E / Z Z = E / I
    E = I*Z P = E*I*cos Ø
    Where: I = current in amperes,
    Z = impedance in Ohms,
    E = volts across,
    P = power in watts,
    Ø = phase angle in degrees.
    Phase Angle
    The phase angle is defined as the difference
    in degrees by which current leads voltage in a
    capacitive circuit, or lags voltage in an inductive
    circuit, and in series circuits is equal to the
    angle whose tangent is given by the ratio X/R and
    is expressed by:
    arc tan (X/R)
    Where:
    X = the inductive or capacitive reactance in ohms,
    R = the non-reactive resistance in ohms,
    of the combined resistive and reactive components
    of the circuit under consideration.
    Therefore:
    in a purely resistive circuit, Ø = 0°
    in a purely reactive circuit, Ø = 90°
    and in a resonant. circuit, Ø = 0°
    also when:
    Ø = 0°, cos Ø = l and P = E*I,
    Ø = 90°, cos Ø = 0 and P = 0.
    ————–
    Degrees x 0.0175 = radians.
    1 radian = 57.3°
    Power Factor
    The power-factor of any a-c circuit is equal to
    the true power in watts divided by the apparent
    power in volt-amperes which is equal to the
    cosine of the phase angle, and is expressed by
    E*I*cos Ø
    p . f . = —————- = cos Ø
    E*I
    Where:
    p.f. = the circuit load power factor,
    E*I*cos Ø = the true power in watts,
    E*I* = the apparent power in voltamperes,
    E = the applied potential in volts
    I = load current in amperes.
    Therefore:
    in a purely resistive circuit.
    Ø = 0° and p.f. = 1
    and in a reactive circuit,
    Ø = 90° and p.f. = 0
    and in a resonant circuit,
    Ø = 0° and p.f. = 1

    d-c circuits are given by,

    P = power in watts.


  • D-C Meter Formulas

    Meter Resistance
    The d-c resistance of a milliameter or
    voltmeter movement may be determined as
    follows:
    1. Connect the meter in series with a
    suitable battery and variable resist-
    ance R1 as shown in the diagram above.
    2. Vary R1 until a full scale reading is
    obtained.
    3. Connect another variable resistor R1
    across the meter and vary its value
    until a half scale reading is obtained.
    4. Disconnect R2 from the circuit and
    measure its d-c resistance.
    The meter resistance RM is equal to the
    measured resistance of R2.
    Caution: Be sure that R1 has sufficient
    resistance to prevent an off scale reading
    of the meter.  The correct value depends
    upon the sensitivity of meter, and voltage
    of the battery.  The following formula can
    be used if the full scale current of the meter
    is known:
    R1 = voltage of the battery used

    full scale current of meter in amperes
    For safe results, use twice the value com-
    puted.  Also, never attempt to measure the
    resistance of a meter with an ohmeter.  To
    do so would in all proability result in a
    burned-out or severly damaged meter,
    since the current required for the operation
    of some ohmeters and bridges is far in
    excess of the full scale current required by
    the movement of the average meter you
    may be checking.
