TWO SHOT F0lLING BANDITS
Discharged Men Attempt TO Hold
Up East Oranae Plant

East Orange, N. j.. June 1O.-After
shooting two employees Of the A. p.
Smith Manufacturing Company, four
armed bandits yesterday afternoon were
thwarted in a bold attempt to steal the
weekly payroll BY standing in line with
the men at the plant who were waiting
for their money.
The robbers fled without booty, two
of them being captured later, hiding in
sewer drain near a creek. They gave
the names of George .Floran and vii.
liam Bradford, both Of Newark.
Charles Rowland, Of East Orange,
and Louis Wojcerkowski, of Bloomfield,
resisted the bandits when they ordered
the crowd to hold up their hands,
Rowland got a bullet in his chin and
his fellow worker was shot in the arm.
The robbers were said to have been dis.
charged from the plant a week ago.

that may be given, but judgment and
experience are essential. The soldering

Reception in England

Question-Wih you kindly give me some
;ceiving set which will receive messages
IN England from a 2Oomile radius. also
telling me how to make the aerial p
Answer-The conditions which exist
in England with regard to amateur
wireless sets are so entirely different
from those in this country that it is
somewhat difficult to advise you. In
the first place, | understand that you
can only erect an aerial of a certain
size which is prescribed by the Post
master General, and so far as that APP
paratus is concerned | would suggest
that you get in touch with him. Most
of the reception in this country is
done on short waves, while I under
stand that in England it is chiefly done
on long waves. However, for youg in
formation the best practice here with
regard to short-wave work is by means
OF the so-called vario-coupler two-vario- D.
meter set. However, it may be neces-
sary for you to add two stages of low
frequency amplifcation, or, as I think
they call it in England, two stages of
note magnifiers."

Condenser Too Large

Question: have just completed putting
my tuner in a cabinet, and on tuning it
L iihd mat It makes no difference, or a
very little difference when L rotate the
primary condenser The condenser has 43
plates. Also, il does not seem to make
any difference whether a long or short
aerial is used. On the stator OF the vario-
coupler when l purchased it, there were
taps took the winding Off and re.
wound the stator with No. "a D. S. c.
wire, with one tap for every turn OF the
first ten, and one tap for each ten there
after; This winding l shellacked thor
ouShly' to keep it in place. If the ground
be very nearly as strong. Would it be
better TO rewind the vario-coupler with
10 No. 38 high-frequency cable, putting
on the same number OF turns (5O) !?
When this set was on the table, did
not notice anything peculiar about the
primary condenser but upon putting 1t in
pened. Would you kindly tell me how to
make a loading coil to get up to 1000
or 5000 meters? [ wish particularly Co
get Fort Wood. Is it necessary to have
a coil for the secondary too?--A A. Y, Jr
Answer-The reason that your pri-
mary condenser makes such little diff
ference is because it has such a high
minimum capacity. Probably you will
get better results with twenty-three
plate condenser in series. | would not
advise you to change the winding Of
your vario-coupler, as the difference
obtained from the Litz wire would not
be sufficient to warrant the expense,
time and trouble. With regard to load
ing up your set for Fort Wood, I
would suggest that you use q $50 turn
honeycomb coil in the primary. and a
100 turn coil in the secondary. These
two coils will have to be placed in an
inductive relationship to each other. II
you intend to use this for Fort Wood,
in conjunction with your rado-fre-
quency transformers you will not get
any results if these transformers are
designed for a maximum wave length
somewhere in the neighborhood of 400
or 500 meters. For the case Of Fort
Wood, resistance coupling between
the radio-frequeney amplifying tubes
will work satisfactorily, although you
will have to put in grid condenser
before each tube in this case. This re-
sistance should be in the neighborhood
of 100000 ohms,

On Suner Regeneration

Question: wish to construct a two-tube
euper r-regenerator / am in doubt about
tho varo-couper. Would an inductance
coll (Which / shalt describe) do and would
1t work better than the vario coupler? The
coil Is wound on tube . inches in dame
ter and inches long. The wiring is startod
IN the center OF the FORM and eighty turns
arc wound for the tuning inductance,
tapped at O. TO- 10, 20, Is, 80, 40. so, 80
ana 80. Arjacent to the tuning inductance
tho fecdback 10 wound on, tapped at 10, 20,
SO, 40, SO, Co. 10, so, so and 100. I am
using this coil in a 10000 meter regen-
erative act, and IL works fine. The reason
l would sooner use this coil is that l
cannot very we'll put 100 turns on the
rotor, for the reason that it isn't large
enough If I could use smaller wire
may do SOFT. H.
Answer--You will not get very good
results with the tuning coil and feed
back wound on the same tube, because
with this arrangement you cannot vary
the coupling between the two. This is
very important function with the
super-regenerator. l would suggest
that you re-wind the secondary with
smaller size wire, if necessary; or,
you might try placing the variometcr
in series with the rotor coil, having
the variometer in an inductive rela-
tionship with the vario-coupler. It's
exact position, as regards the vario-
coupler, will have to be determined by
experiment.

would you put the following tubes as to
their satisfaetlon in the use as radio fre.
ii D. '''''1 '''' 80 ''O'' '''
| Answer. If you hear the carrier
wave before you hear the music or
talking, it is because you have the fla
ment current of your tubes burning
brightly and your set oscillating--the he
consequence being that you are hetero-
dyning on the carrier wave. This is
one Of the ways OF searching for a
broadcasting station, because once you
get his carrier wave you can then ad-
just to the music and reduce the fila
ment current after you have got a
good adjustment.
khc poWcI lACLDI is CnE ThClO
the wdtt component OF current and
voltage in the circuit is to that Of the
wattless component. In other words,
1T is measure Of the excess of cur
rent flowing over that necessary to
produce q certain amount of energy.
3. In a radio-frequency transformer er
the direction of winding does not make
any real difference.
a. An audibility meter is n box of
resistances which is calibrated. It de-
pends upon the sense Of hearing of
the eXperimenter in order to get
standard results, and is used to COM
pare the audibility obtained from any
receiving set, as compared with an &C
cepted, standard set of apparatus--thc
latter of course being standard in all
its parts.
5. Secondary voltage would be the
same as for the single if the two
tubes are used in parallel. With the
two in series the voltage would be
somewhat less than twice that Of the
single tube.
6. doubt very much whether you
will get very good results with the
combination % different tubes that
you mention, but the only way in
which you can determine this is to
vary them around in the different
sockets, | am under the impression
that the A. P tube is soft" tube,
In that case it could only be used as
a detector.

wa it was before l removed It, and now

cent. have tested all my lamps, 'fB"
batteries and "a" batteries fully charged.
The following are the coils used: Primary
so, secondary 100, tickler 150.--C. II.
Answer-The trouble has undoubted-
ly been caused by what is known as
fading" This is a condition over
which we have no control. 1t sometimes
happens during reception and becomes
so loud that the vacuum tubes are
paralyzed and reception ceases. In
this case it is good plan to discon-
meet the B battery and let the tubes
recover and then replace the B bat
terry With the amount of voltage some
what reduced during the period of the
maximum reception. Try smaller
coils on secondary and tickler.

are the spacing Of turns? 4. In making

strong circuit? g. How does the Arm
strong circuit, using honeycomb coils get
wired up, and how win it compare with

Answer. An open core choke can
not be used in place of the iron core
choke--that is, at least, not in the
same room. An iron core choke is
absolutely indispensable. 2. This is
really optional. 8. The three-foot

are very cheap. and l would suggest
that you purchase them rather than

the correct value. 5. cannot give you
this information. G. You cannot use
honeycomb coils in place of the vario-
