WIRES COMPOSED OF SINGLE
 CRYSTAL

From Popular Mechanics Magazine.
 By means of a special drawing ap- paratus a foreign scientist has suo- ceeded in producing fine metal wires that are believed to represent a sim gle crystal of the metal. These sin gle crystal wires have shown pecu- liar properties under tests. A zinc wire. drawn slowly, at a tempera- ture above the melting point of the metals has a ductility far above that of ordinary zinc. If the wire is drawn more quickly, at . slightly in creased temperature. brittle wire is produced. Experiments are being made with wires drawn from many other metals, including aluminium. tin. lead. bismuth and others.

Take the respective taps and solder to the respective ends of the tacks. but be sure to scrape the enamel off the wire where connec- tions are made Now solder under the board. The set is now ready to hook up as shown on the diagram on this page. Be sure to solder all con nections. Now you are ready for your aerial.
 Pick out the clearest and highest location for your aerial. If it is in the trees have it clear the branches 10 feet and have enough slack to all low for the swaying of the trees. Have the aerial about 30 feet from the ground for best results. Have the Head in" froifl the very end or the exact middle of the aerial wire. Have both the "lahd in" and the aerial thoroughly insulated from the ground. A onewire aerial is suffi- cient for receiving. A soldered con- nectson to cold water pipe makes the best ground.

output of less than one horsepower of electrical energy
 Is Real Radio Amplifier
 Armstrong calls his latest system the super-regenerative receiver, but 1t Is in all reality the first true ra- dio frequency amplifier Its most astounding characteristic is the fact that it increases it's power of ampli- ficatfon inversely as the square Of the wave length. Put in simpler language, this means that the lower the wavelength the greater the am plification; thus If the wave-length is cut in two. the incoming signal is amplfied four times stronger than 1t would be in the first case.
 Perhaps another more forceful way of stating this Is by saying that the new receiver opens up to us the low CT wave length ranges, so that in the immediate future it will be quite possible for broadcasting stations to operate on wave-lengths as low as ten meters Now when we have broadcasts as low as that 1t will mean that the two stations close to- gether can broadcast simultaneously without interference, one using a wave-length of II meters.
 ms IS DcCdu5c Ol lHe ldCt lndt al those wave-lengths there is differ erce in frequency between the two stations of 2,727,OOo cycles second. As 1t is frequency which causes in- terference, it will be seen how great is the margin of difference in fre- quency on the low wave lengths. when a difference of one meter in wave-lengths makes a difference of 2,727, 900 alternations second in the electrical current.
 System Is Very Simple
 The wondrous possibilities of the new apparatus are obtained in the simplest manner imaginable. The terrific application can be obtained with two ordinary vacuum tubes con- nected together with inductances and condensers. but, of course, better re- results are obtained with three tubes, as shown in the diagrams repro- duced on this page.
 In an actual demonstration of his new apparatus before the Institute of Radio Engineers Armstrong com pletely flooded the large auditorium with music and speech from New ark, IS miles away, although he used only small loop about one meter diameter This was done despite the fact that the Engineering Societies

 On Using a Crystal Set
 c. have a crystal set and am about 25 miles from Newark. At times l. get him distinctly and at other times I cannot get anything but code. Is this my fault or New ark's? Does the crystal wear out? J. H. W.
 A. You arc on the verge of tho extreme limit for crystal detectors to record speech and music. Since however, you get Newark at times. would suggest that you have three or four crystals at hand. and at those times when you fail to receive Newark. try another piece of crys- tai. It may be that you can get more sensitive piece than the one you are using. When you are mak- ing the change from one crystal to' another. do not handle the crystal with your flnGsrs-pnt it in the re- ceptacle with pair of tweezers.
