RADIO CODE STEP IN
LEARNING SCIENCE

The code shown above Is the inter-
national radio code; so called because
it is used by all nations between ships
and land stations. In transmitting
this code Of dots. and dashes, spark
or arc apparatus Is most successful.
because of the longer distances
reached and the comparatively large
amount OF power which may be used
in the sending apparatus. For these
reasons and the fact that the code Is
the only known means at present
for sending secret messages insures
Its permanency for yeays to come.
II therefore. the above code is learned
and placed before one when listening
In. interest in messages sent through
the air will be increased greatly.
In learning the code modern meth
DDS are to purchase phonograph
records or specially constructed
code machine. Either costs approx
mately so. After a few weeks one
may become so proficient as to copy
regularly communications which are
exchanged continuously between radio
stations ashore and afoat
As will be noted this code table
Is complete for letters of the alpha
bet. for numerals. and for punctu-
alton marks. These are fundamental.
Any combinations of letters or num-
oers are then possible.

NEW 'SUPERPHONE
PROVIDES SECRECY

The "superphone." says the Sell
entihc American. has been devel-
oped under the direction Of r. d.
Duncan. jr., chief engineer of the
Signal Corps RessSSch Laboratory,
at the Bureau Of Standards. assisted
by 8. Isler. assistant radio engineer.
The device Is based on the orig
inal invention. about ten years ago,
by Maj. Cen George o. Squier,
chief signal officer Of the army. of
wired wireless" or Zine radio"
It consists Of q small portable set
of instruments which may be In
stalled in any once or residence In
few minutes and connected d.
rectly to existing telephone lines,
and conversations carried on In the
usual way. 1t will be necessary
only for the subscribers to close
switch or press a button to connect
In the superphone in place OF the
ordinary phone.
This superphone provides a means
for secrecy OF communication with
out any chance Of the conversation
being overheard. Interrupted or
broken into on>the line by any one
else. It Is obvious that this inven-
tion will prove Of value for military
purposes in case Of war, where Sc
crecy in communication Is abso-
lutely necessary. 1t may also prove
of utility for ordinary commercial
purposes. where important business
houses, such as banks, brokers. etc,
may desire to have private channels
for confidential communication with
their branch Offices or with any
business establishment, and insure
"a ~
ried on.
The principles involved In this in
vention are those of wired wire-
less" by which high-frequency al
ternating currents are employed
which are modulated at the trans
mitting end by speaking into an
ordinary microphone and detected
at the other end by the usual radio
instrumentalities which finally pass
on to an ordinary telephone re-
ceiver. The speaker. however, or
the listener-in, Is not concerned
with any OF the additional instru-
ments; they are Installed and prop
erly adjusted once for all, and the
people carrying on the conversation
have no more bother than in the
use Of the usual telephone system
Another advantage of this method
of telephone communication is that
1t makes multiplex telephony pos
sible. A number OF secret telephone
conversations may be carried on
over the same lines
without interfering with each other.
The transmission Of speech by the
of this invention is even
clearer than ordinary telephonic
speech.
The power required for carrying
on conversations over even consid-
cradle distances Is OF the order or
of a watt, which is about
1-500th OF the power required to
light an ordinary electric lamp.
The Washington herald., 1922-06-11

One honeycomb coil, L-20O or L-250;
one variable condenser. .0OI micro
farads capacity; one small telephone
condenser. An L-200 honeycomb
coil has a wave length OF $50 to
1850 meters. An L-25O has a range
of l,120 to 1000 meters, using a
.OO1 NJ. F. condenser.
Freak receptions are quite COM
mon. 1t is possible that the near
ness of Arlington and the high
transmitting power of that station
made the window bars serviceable
as an antenna. The above circuit
on one more simple was used. ANA
teurs have reported receiving NAA
on aerial crystal phones and ground
only. The phones in this case shunted
across the crystal.
Receiver Hook-ups.
.. As per the incIosed hook up
(single tube regenerative set)
would like to know the following;
(a) Could honeycomb coils be used
and what size for local and N. J.
receiving?
(b) Could 110 volt, reduced to q
volt by toy transformer, be used
in the place of a storage battery7
What would be needed in addition
and what would the connections be?
(c) Could one variable condenser
The Washington herald., 1922-06-11

die to use the upper half as a load
ing coil?
(b) To what is the base of the
tap switch attached?
(c) Does it make any difference
II the tuning coils switches are in
the form of a circle or a semi
circle? NJ. p
A. 1t Is not necessary to tap at
the center. Either end may serve
as a loading coil.
(b) Answer forwarded.
(c) No.
Receiver-Tuning Devices
Q. Which is the best tuning
device, complete regenerative re-
ceiver (two variometers and one
vario-coupler) or a loose-coupler OF
just a vario-coupler for an audion
detector set?. For a crystal set?
(b) What will raise the receiving

condition, much as the air between
the plates of a condenser. At such
times spark discharges from aerial
to ground are not infrequent. For
this reason operators are warned
to ground the aerial during storms
10 protect the set against atmos-
pheric discharges.
OBJ Yes; such tubes are on the
market, but as replacement tubes
only. Patents held by a certain
hrm permit the use of the tube in
connection with particular re-
ceiver only. Local dealers will give
you other Information concerning
this.
Loose Coupler.
Q. Will you please send me in
structions how to make a loose
coupler? Can you make a loose
coupler and have the secondary sta
tionary? viii = sixteen taps be
enough for an s-inch secondary ?

No industry is experiencing such
boom at the present time as radio
apparatus manufacturing. Because
of incessant public demands for
more radio sets, certain unscrupu-
lous manufacturers have taken the
opportunity of the times to foist
upon an eager public inefficient and
imperative radio sets.
The summer season will witness
a speeding up of production, an ap-
proach to condition permitting
immediate delivery of radio sets and
parts The kind and condition of
apparatus delivered will depend
upon the discretion of purchasers.
The best apparatus manufactured
will then be in far greater demand
than today.
