The type 36 screen-grid tube (obsolete since the mid-1930s) had a non-regenerative detection gain (audio frequency plate voltage divided by radio frequency input voltage) of only 9.2 at 7.2 MHz, but in a regenerative detector, had detection gain as high as 7,900 at critical regeneration (non-oscillating) and as high as 15,800 with regeneration ...
In Fig. 8, L, C, B1 and B2 are as in Fig. 3. L2 and L3 have inductive coupling and implement the regenerative connection from grid to anode. C1 is the gridleak capacitor. C2 is a radio frequency bypass capacitor parallel to the speaker. Regenerative control is by changing the heater current via the rheostat next to B1.
Schematic of Philco model 84 A superheterodyne cathedral radio from 1933 that uses a regenerative detector. (Note: The capacitor for the detector's control grid is the "tickler coil" winding on the IF transformer.) "Radio Design Worksheet: No 39 — Detectors" (PDF). Radio. 29 (8): 51– 52. August 1945.
[2] In 1920, the company began selling regenerative vacuum tube radio receivers designed by the C. D. Tuska Company, and the following year, in order to increase interest in radio, began operating station WCJ, which was the first broadcasting station licensed in the state of Connecticut. [5]
The 32-volt system could also power other specially made appliances as well as electric lights around the farm. Other farm radios, especially from the late 1930s to the 1950s, reverted to using a large "A-B" dry cell that provided both 90 V for the tube plates and 1.5 V for the tube filaments, as did most tube-based portable radios of that era.
This 1920s TRF radio manufactured by Signal is constructed on a breadboard Tuning a TRF receiver, like this 5 tube Neutrodyne set from 1924 with two stages of RF amplification, was a complicated process. The three tuned circuits, controlled by the 3 large knobs, had to be tuned in unison to the new station.

The WD-11 vacuum tube, a triode, was introduced by the Westinghouse Electric corporation in 1922 for their Aeriola RF model radio and found use in other contemporary regenerative receivers (used as a detector-amplifier) including the Regenoflex and Radiola series.
