these are favorites. cost in the neigh

are the real giants of the country; of
course. other towers are sprinkled
along both Atlantic and Pacific coasts
for commercial and government serv-
ice, but they are neither so gigantic
in size nor as powerful in equipment
What 1t Means To Build A Radio
Station.
The general scheme of construction
of all radio stations is the same. How
ever. from such variety of form and
size as these towers reveal. it is to be
presumed that a great difference of
opinion EXISTS among authorities as to
what constitutes a most efficient plan
for them. This is bound to be true:
whenever we penetrate the intricacies
of any construction which concerns
that subtle and elusive quantity-elec-
tricity-opinion invariably differs
Though the steel beams, which con-
stitute the tower, are used solely to
support the aerial wires. some author
tiles insist that it is preferable to
use small framework supported by
understanding wire rope guys be-
cause IT absorbs less energy. Since
great height has been found indispens-
able for long distance work, it has
been practically decided that the self
supporting type OF tower is the best
for many reasons. 1t takes up less
ground space and iasures less loss of
energy. The Arlington towers are ex-
amples OF this plan and they have been
copied throughout the chain of naval
stations.
The antenna, the name applied to
the section of the apparatus which
comprises the actual transmitting and
receiving agency. is really an insulated
conductor suspended between towers.
A difference of opinion also exists as
to what constitutes the most efficient
form for these. In any case. regard
less of forms. they are q mass Of
bronze wires suspended between tow

been phenomenal and the radio sta
tons which exist today must exceed
in both height an d power those which
Marconi himself visuaNzed when he
saw the significance of the great fact
that electromagnetic waves can be
used for telegrapAing without wires.
Indeed. this is one of the fascinat-
ing phases of the development of radio
telegraphy. 1t has given rise TO a
new activity in a remarkable line of
construction. Hitherto. we have re-
marked upon the size OF the Eiffel
Tower at Paris with bated breath and
upon that OF the Washington Monu-
ment at our own capital with awe;
but nowadays. we hear with equa-
nimity that a new wireless station Is
