Re: Building a 5 valve A.C. amplifier from scratch
The left hand one could be a treble boost, depending on the rest of the circuit it's in.
Shorting the wiper to one end when a potentiometer is used as a variable resistor can be useful in applications where an open circuit caused by poor wiper contact might be expensive such as output stage bias adjustment. Here it's just good practice.
