Tightening Terminals

OW many enthusiasts make a point of testing the tightness of all terminals before screwing down the parts. Much annoyance is saved if this rule is followed, as there is generally at least one loose terminal in, say, three or four valve holders. A hot soldering iron invariably seems to loosen an already loose contact, and when connecting wires are being tightened down by screwing home the nut of a terminal the least slackness will allow the terminal to work loose.
