Corporation Of America.
The principal and most important
use for wireless on the fight is to
establish communication with shore
stations in emergencies and receive
weather reports sent from American
stations until the plane gets into
range Of South America, when q new
station opened at Rio de. Janeiro will
transmit this information twice a day.
However, for the first day or two the
ship will be within hearing of the sta
tions in this country which broadcast
popular entertainment and intercep-
tion of these programs will tend to
break up the monotony of the fight,
which will be over water and therefore
devoid OF scenery.
Lieutenant Walter Hinton, pilot,
understands the radio code and will
therefore be able to pick UP the daily
news report sent by the naval station
to the ships at sea as we'll as other

ture DR.. D. Pinto Martins, Brazilian

LONDON, Aug. 49,, The British are
solving their radiophone broadcasting
problems by floating company COM
posed of Representatives Of all the
manufacturers of radio equipment TO
finance the scheme. Eight stations will
be permitted bv the government, and
they will be erected in certain selected
areas. The government win contrib
ute partly to the expense of maintain
ing and operating these stations out
Of the license fees it receives from
owners OF receiving equipment. The
manufacturers are TO be given two
years of outright protection against
foreign equipment under the scheme.
The latest pronouncement on the sit
uation was made by Postmaster Cen
eral Kelleway in the House of Com
mons recently, when he said:
"No licenses have been issued to es-
tablish ,broadcasting stations, but un-
derstand that the principal manufac-
turers of wireless apparatus in Great
Britain will combine to form COM
pany or companies to provide broad

carefully and very slowly with the con-
denser that is joined across the loop
aerial. During this process you can
also leave the rotor of your vario-
coupler at maximum coupling. In tun-
ing the condenser you win hear series
OF weird noises, some of them similar to
the beat notes that are obtained from
heterodyning ON continuous wave.
Your condenser will have to- be tuned
very, very carefully and very, very
slowly. As soon as signals are heard

OIL the tuning with the condenser and
the rotor coil of the vario-coupler. The
last two are the only real adjustable
parts OF the super-reganer system.
You will find that the loop aerial is not

critical IN the minimum position. II.
