www.americanradiohistory.com Two Strikes Three Balls! The pitcher has completed that slow, leisurely, tanta- lizing wind-up. That long, lithe, million-dollar arm has flashed back. A moment . and the ball, a white, hissing streak, is catapulting toward the catcher's waiting mitt. And the winning or losing of a World Series depends on whether or not the batter has his eye on the ball. A Cunningham Tube always has its eye on the ball. It stands ready to transmute an electrical impulse, travel- ing at a speed which would make the speed of a baseball seem a snail's pace, into mu- sic, a President's message- what you will.

For instance, the brass stator and rotor plates are soldered at all joints. The plates cannot become loose, corrode at the joints or work out of alignment. The rotor is mounted on a long sleeve bearing that supports the rotor plates without the use of an outer end -plate. Therefore, the di- electric material is reduced to two small buttons. This means low loss and sharp tuning. The stator plates are protected with a dust cap that can be detached without tools. The minimum capacity is extremely low, and body capacity effects are greatly reduced. The entire design makes for the highest efficiency in radio receivers. 'Build for Co.
