FliUUer Equipped With Wireless Enters ,
 Big Race

Indianapolis, April 15.-(Special.)- Wireless telephones and a Ford car will break into the big league auto mobile racing with the 500-mile dash for-$100, 900 to be held at the Indian apolis motor speedway, Tuesday, May 30, according to announcement by speedway officials.
 The Ford, which will be equipped with a Fronty- Ford motor head and otherwise strengthened, has been en- tered by the racing Chevrolet broth ers-Arthur and Louis-and the ex- pertinent was successful in dirt track races last year. It will average S9 miles an hour on the local track and will travel 102 miles per hour on the lohg stretches, according to the Chevrolets.
 They want their little car, which Is a pigmy in size when compared with the other mounts in the race, to have every possible advantage, so the "Fronty- Ford" as the car has been entered, will be equipped with wire less telephone receiving set and mes sages will be dispatched from the pits to the car by wireless
 Pit messages and signals always play big part in the races. The driver. and his mechanic become lost after fey laps on the big oval; there is too much noise to hear each other, and the only touch they have with z the world Is through the blackboard and flag messages they receive from the pit as they flash down the home stretch.
 Jack Conner, Greenville, Ohfo,s has been chosen to drive the Fronty- Ford with the wireless attachment. , He is already in Indianapolis getting the car ready. This Is the first time wireless has ever been used in rac- ing, 1t Is said. There will be a small device on tn erear of the car to catch the waves as the car speeds its way around the course. The receiv- ing headgear will be worn by the me- chaHic, who will in turn deliver mes sages to the driver. It is hoped in. this way to have the Fronty- Ford the best informed men on the track.
 It will be interesting to see the re- suits T. E. Myers, manager of the speedway, said this would be the only Ford car permitted to enter the race He made this concession because of the known ability of the Chevrolets as racing engineers.

Indoor AeriaIs

Question: am not able to erect an aerial on the roof. I have thought of the following substitutes for roof aerial: CD bed springs, (2) loop aerial, (3) single copper wire stret- ched from one window to another of my apartment q can get about 70 feet stretched this way) (4) connect it to the binding post of the nearest doorbell q feel that this will give me the stretch of all bell wires through out the seven floors of the house; the wires carry no current except when bell is rung, (5) erect a single cop- per wire inside the apartment. could get slightly longer stretch this way than outside. Which of these five do you think would give me the best re- suits with rsgenerative receiver and vacuum tube detector2
 Answer-No 8 would give you the best results. You get 40 feet of wire, stretched clear of all Instructions and away from whatever distortional ef- feet upon the electro ma gnetic waves the steel work of your apartment house might have. l think this will give you good results.
 Can't Stretch Aerial Over Street Question--Are there any statutes prohibiting the use of telegraph and telephone poles as supports for aer- ials? Can We stretch an aerial across the street? What Is the meaning of QRK. QSA and QRM?-B. o.
 Answer. You cannot use a telegraph or telephone pole without permission
 from the telegraph and telephone company, A pole such as is used for
 telegraph or telephone posts could be used and would make an excellent mast for the support of an aerial. It | is against the law to erect an aerial across the street The three-letter codes that you ask about are abbrevi- ations in radio communication and authorized by the International Radio | convention. They cover stereotyped questions and answers constantly in use between wireless telegraph op orators and were designed to speed up communication by eliminating en- tire sentences. The three that you mention mean. frst-QRK-"How do you receive me?" Tn this case the "QRK" Is followed by question mark In answering, QRK alone stand for: T am receiving we'll" QSA in question form means; Are my signals strong?" Tn answer form: Your signals are strong" QRM- Are you being interfered with?" and the answer form: "I am being in- terfered with" Tn this connection QRM is generally used to indicate terrific and constant interference For instance. operators usually say; "QRM | fierce" also, "QRM very bad here" | Other well-known and constantly .us- ed abbreviations are QRN-"Atmos- pheries are very strong" QRU-"l have nothing for you" QSY-"Let us change to the wave length off meters" This is generally used in some such form as the following: "QSY 450."

How nm AirpIane sends


 Question:. 1 am planning to get regenerative set using a vacuum tube detector two varlometers and io-coupler. l live 50 miles from Sehnectady. 100 miles from Newark. 100 miles from Springfield and 250 miles from Pittsburg. Which of these stations should l receive with that set 2. How Is 1t that an airplsna being in the air. can send messages to a station on the ground, since the plane has no ground2 Is there any reliable dealer now who has vacuum tubes for sales2 3. We have a thir- ty-two-volt farm lighting plant for l6 batteries and dynamo Could connect three of the batteries to the ftlament of the. detector bulb without disconnecting them from the rest?-- F. J. M VI
 Answer-1. With the set you have and proper aerial as high and clear as possibls vsu should be able to TO- ceive the first three stations. You may be able 10 hear Pittsburg. too. 2. An airplane can communicate by means of a radio telegraph or radio telephone without the use of ground" As 8 matter of fact, a ground" Is not necessary at all for wireless communication. provided that another aerial is used which will counterpoise the transmitting aerial In fact, 1t is known as a counter pose." Tn the case of the airplane this is obtained by making connec- ton to all the metal parts of the air plane structure. such as the engine, wire sets, etc. The aerial itself drops from the fuselage and hangs down clear-the length of the aerial being determined by the length of the wave it Is desired to communicate upon. The broadcasting stations in practi- cally every case do not use a ground connection. All of them, so far as I know use a counterpoise aerial for the ground 3. Getting vacuum tubes at the present from dealers IS a question of luck. and I cannot ad- vise' you just which one can meet your requirements. 4. It will be perfectly possible for you to use threa of the cells In your 16-cell battery for the purpose of lighting up the filament tubes. The only drawback to this will be when you are charg- ing the batteries you will get a re- production of the commutator hur from the dynamo through you get

Questions and Answers

ter than aluminium wire It Is very necessary to have a highly conduc- tive metal for radio frequency cur rent, which travels only on the sur face of the wire. Copper, however after 1t has been erected for some time, sags considerably because of it's softness. The ideal wire for aerial construction is the steel wire that has a copper coating. A vario-coupler can be used on a crystal set and will be connected In exactly the same way as the loose coupler. It is much more efficient than the latter. be- cause the coupling between the spri- mary and the secondary is obtained with minimum of energy loss. The largest wireless station in the world Is located at Rocky Point, l.. L Tt is already in operation, communicate ing with different parts of Europe. but the station itself Is not yet com pleted. When complete 1t will have series of aerials designed for sim ultaneous but independent commu- nication with different parts of the world, including practically every continent
