of the recommendations made by
the amateur committee OF the radio

The committee recommends L4aI
the wavelength alloeated to the

meters; that the field between these
limits be subdivided by law ard
that the status of the amateur bo

The proposed radio inspectors

observance of the radio communi-

United States and observance of
such local cooperative measures be-

public interested in radio. Provision
is made in the report for providing
radio inspectors with whatever au-

RADIO SERVICE
HANGS ON BATTERY

The best radiophone receiving
equipment in the worth is no better
than the storage battery which
supplies the necessary current to
light the filaments of the vacuum
tubes. In fact. the storage battery
Is really the most important part
OF the set, and the part which needs
the most constant care.
w. E. Gosllng. an electrical en-
gineer and specialist on storage
batteries. says: -..-
1t Is well to consider that bat
teries for radio service, contrary
to the batteries in automobiles, are
operated at extremely low dis
charge ,rates-one, two or three
amperes. The number depends on
the number of tubes used When
one knows the capacity of the bat
terry in ampere hours, IL is a COM
paratively simple thing to estimate
roughly how many ampere hours
have been taken out of the battery.
For instance, IL the battery ca
pacity is sixty ampere hours, and it
has been discharged at the rate of
two ampe-es for three hours each
evening, it Is mere simple arith-
metic to figure out that, the battery
will be thoroughly discharged in
ten days.
Another method. far more re-
liable, is the use of a hydrometer. :"
