RADIO RECEIVER
IS INSTALLED ON
SIGHTSEEING BUS
System May Open New
Field for Commercial
Exploitation.

What is the first practical appli-
cation of . radio telephone receiv-
ing set to a moving motor bus was
seen on the streets of New York
City and thereabouts early in Au-
gust. says the wireless Age. AL
though many reports have been
heard from time to time that re-
ceiving sets have been installed on
automobiles of various kinds, run
ming down of the actual facts has
always revealed that interference
from the ignition system was so
great that the receiver could not be
operated satisfactorily while the
gasoline engine was running.
Now, however, a method of in
stallation worked. out by w. H.
Howard. an engineer of the Radio
Corporation of America. permits
satisfactory operation while the bus
is in operation. The system, while
apparently simple enough, is in ef-
feet a contribution to the art Of
utilizing radio. and one that Is ex-
pected to open the way for a new
field of commercial exploitation.
Call ON Radio Body.
The opportunity for trying out
the idea of bus installations came
when a New York City radio dealer
discussed the possibilities with the
Greeley Sightseeing Company. op-
Grating a line of motor buses be-
tween the metropolis and Coney Is
land. The bus company wanted
radio sets for its machines, the
dealer was dubious and the Radio
Corporation of America was called
on for advice.
The installation of the present
equipment was soon made. A
couple of days later crowds blocked
the street about the machine as 1t
stood in Times Square, while spe-
destrians and motorists along the
route to Coney Island stared after
the big white bus as 1t sped past
filled with radio music as well as
interested passengers.
The installation consists essen
TALLY Of a loop antenna with radio
and audio amplification and a West
ern Electric loud speaker. The
loop has four turns of bell wire
and Is Is by feet In size. 1t is
wired to the inside Of the top of the
bus, above the heads of the passen-
gers, and being horizontal, takes up
no room, nor does II have direc-
tional effects.
Vertical Loop Impractical.
A vertical loop would have
brought in the signals louder, but
would have required considerable
manipulation each time the machine
changed its direction, and therefore
was not considered. In the first
tests 1t was found. as q matter of
fact. that the superior signal power
of a fully directional loop was not
necessary. as the horizontal turps
brought in the music sufficiently
loud for 1t to be heard three blocks
away when operating the tubes at
the maximum.
No interference was experienced
from the ignition system of the en-
gine. both ends of the loop being
brought into the tube circuit This
avoided use of the frame. of the
car as q ground, which has been
the real source of most of the igni-
tion interference experienced by
other experimenters. Also, the LOOP
Is far enough away from the en-
gine to prevent inductive effects
The only time automobile ignition
sparks are heard Is when q Ford
races it's engine close at the side
i of the loop.

Fears expressed in some quart

"There Is an ample supply ol

trucks that are said to be in use

predicted 20 per cent increase In
their number this year." declared
one of the governments oil ex-
perts.
With the use Of automobiles
and trucks growing by leaps and
bounds the Bureau OF Mines In Civ
ing close study to the gasoline Sit
uation. Surveys OF production OF
crude petroleum, operations of
the refineries and stocks In stor-
age are being made at regular In
tervals by the bureau, and by this
means the government ) experts
aer enabled to keep In close touch
with production and consumption
OF the comm odity that keeps the
automobiles running.
Officials pointed out that at the
end of last year there we're $780,
087,132 gallons or gasoline held
in storage, while there were 30S
refineries In operation having a
total daily capacity OF 1,736,725
barrels OF crude oil
"A large number of these re-
fineries are only running about
80 per cent Of capacity, and there
are, In addition, about $50 re-
finerles that have shut down,
said one OF the government oil ex-
perts. There are ample stocks

that a gasoline famine is immin-
ent."
