VACUUM TUBE SALE
TO HELP AMATEURS
Navy Action in Disposing of
10000 Meets Approval.

Thirty thousand vacuum tubes, orig-
nslly designed for transmitting but
capable of detecting and amplifying as
well, are to be sold in lots of 1906
each next Thursday at the United States
Navy Central sales Office at the Navy
Yard in Washington The sale of these
tubes will help materially to supply the
demand of amateurs throughout the
country.
The tubes were bought several years
ago for the navy but are to be disposed
of now for the double purpose of realiz-
ing on the radio material now classified
as surplus and of helping out radio en-
thusiasts who have sets complete ex-
cept for the magic tubes which are the
heart OF the OUTFIT
The tubes, which are described as c.
G. 1852 radio transmitting vacuum
tubes. may be used as detectors and
amplifers when used in a transmitting
socket or an ordinary receiving tube
socket by reslotting the receiving tube
socket about IS degrees from the usual
slot. This Is essential on account OF the
retaining pin In the lamp base being
about 40 degrees from the position of
the retaining pin as ordinarily found on
receiving tubes being sold to-day.
Purchasers of the tubes are required
10 sign an agreement to sell the tubes
in original cartons and bearing a mo-
tice that the tubes are licensed only for
amateur experimental. or entertainment
use. with additional information con-
cerning the source and age OF the tubes
and the need for reslottine the sockets.
The tube sold is a five watt tube
and when used for transmitting pur-
poses requires fllament voltage of 6
volts. The plate voltage used is ap-
proximately 400 volts. In order to give
purchasers an idea of the efficiency of
the tube for receiving. tests were made
in comparison with the CIV D33 tube
also called the vT-I and ], and the
Sc 1444.
The performance OF the CG 1852 tube
fairly closely approximated that OF the
CIV 933 az an oscillator and ampliher
and Of the Sc 1if4 as detector. The
direct plate current Of the CG 1i62 is
much higher than that OF the CIV 933
or the SIC 1444, but tn epercentage
difference greatly decreases with an in
crease OF plate voltage, especially as
compared with the G. w. 933 The CIV
9s3 tube Is gas tube having a coated
filament and is not similar to any
commercial tube. The Sc 144i can be
compared very favorably with the So
called hard" tubes now sold for anna
tour and experimental use.

TELLS HOW TO WORK
VACUUM TUBE SETS
New Book Explains How Nov-
ice Can Get Best Results.

some good advice to the radio novice
on the matter Of adjusting and 'operat-
ing vacuum tube set, always n trou-
blesome matter even though the experi-
menter has constructed most OF the
elements himself. is given by Walter
Remy in book, "rhe Radio Primer -
just published by Ralph T. Goodwin.
In explaining how to get results after
the set has been correctly constructed
and assembled. the writer says
After the tube was inserted In the
socket the filament rheostat was turned
until slight hiss was heard In the
phones. The ticker coil was set az an
angle of 45 degrees with respect to the
tuning coil and tho variometer was ro-
tated. IL a click was heard. followed
by a sound like that of escaping steam.
the set was operating properly with
the receiver in this state the varia bile
condenser was turned until suueal
was heard. This squeal Is what is
called the carrier wave OF the radio
telephone.
THE variometer was turned back
again until the hiss and the sauoai
stopped and the variable condenser was
moved a fraction of a degree until
the radio phone was heard the oudest.
The ticker coil was varied until the
music or Otner signals were heard the
loudest and the adjustment was left
fixed. This adjustment did not have
TO be made again. The rheostat was
varied to determine n any Increase in
strength Of signal could be obtained.
This latter adjustment was also pcrma-
nent"
The now book Is unusual in the recent
outburst OF radio literature in that Il
stays close TO its subject. which Is the
construction and operation OF n home
radiophone. explaining the theory of
wireless when necessary through simple
analogles.

Thousands of pocket receiving sets
have been built by amateurs all over the
country without arousing any enthusi-
asm on the part of women. This is prob
ably because they have no pockets in
which to put pocket sets.
When this startling fact percolated
as far as Schenectady. John b. Taylor
a consulting engineer of the General
Electric Company did some profound
thinking. The result is not pocket
set, but a parasol set. Startling as this
idea is the parasol as a container is
not the most unusual thing about the
new set. In most pocket sets the owner
cannot stray far from his aerial, and
ground. or else must bring them with
him. which is inconvenient to the point
of impossibility. In the parasol set, this
is done away with. 1t is all there in the
parasol
The new outfit which adds only eight
ounces to the weight OF the parasol
consists of loop aerial of braided cop
per wire. which is naturally flexible
sewed to the covering of the paraso
like braid or stripe around the edge
in parallel lines. An end leads through
The New York herald., 1922-05-28

eyelets under the parasol TO the main
rod and down to the handle, where a
small condenser and crystal detector
complete the set. Tuning in on various
wave lengths Is accomplished by chang
ing the condenser.
On the small apparatus on the handle
are attached the head phones. All that
is necessary to hear the signals or con-
certs from any station within the range
of a crystal outfit is to point the parasol
in the direction of the station. The
parasol, being loop antenna, eliminates
much static.
There is nothing frealish about the
appearance of the parasol 1t can be
closed as easily as any other. Mr..
Taylor, who is shown in the photograph
taking down messages while the female
OF the species. personified. looks envi-
ously on, has made frequent tests of
the device in the vicinity of Schenectady
and has been able to hear signals and
music broadcast by WGY. the General

BY A. f. VAN DYCK.

Radio Engineer. General Electric Co.
The second part of a radio receiving
system, the antenna being the first part,
is the one which accompishes the ''tun-
ing" of the system. Tuning is the
process OF adjusting the receiving ap-
paratus to be in electrical accordance
with any transmitting station II is de-
sired to receive.
When a receiving station is exactly
in tune with a transmitting station the
signals received will be loudest, and If
not in tune the transmitting station can
not be heard. We should understand
now what it means to be- "in tune" and
the following explanation is given, no.
as an exact one technically. but as one
which will give beginning thought on
the subject to the layman.
Every one is familiar with the certain
features of stringed musical instruments.
In the piano, for instance. various
lengths of wire are used for various
keys wire with a certain length.
tension and material when given
mechanical blow vibrates at certain
rate giving out note whose pitch IS
that particular rate.
If the wire were made longer, every
thing else being the same, the note given
out would be lower. If the wire were
made shorter the note would be higher.
Why does piano wire vibrate? Be
cause 1t has two properties, inertia and
elasticity.
Elasticity is a property Of materials
familiar to every one by that name.
Inertia is The property of matter by
which Il is difficult to get 1t into motion
and. after going. difficult to stop It. 1t
takes more power 20 start an automobile
than to run 1t. on level ground, and II
takes power 20 stop it.
When piano wire is started in mo-
tion by a blow it starts 20 move but
can't keep going in that direction be-
cause the ends are held. 1t bounces
back due TO its elasticity, and keeps on
vibrating until all the energy OF the
blow has been used up.
An electric circuit behaves the same
way. 1t has electrical inertia and cleo
trical elasticity, and IL struck an cleo
trical blow will vibrate electrically
(which is called oscillation) at a rate
which is determined by the electrical
length of the circuit. just as the piano

SCOTLAND ONCE BARRED PORK
Pig Was Often Associated With the
Devil and Hated by High
landers.

Among the ancient "geasa" or Ia
boos in Scotland none was of greater
interest than the "geas" which pro-
hiblted the eating Of pork. Thousands
of the hlghlanders refused either to
keep pigs or to eat pork in any form
They despised pork as keenly as did
the Hindus, the Jews and the modern
Greeks Of northern Arcadia.
The pig was often associated with
the devil, observes the Detroit News.
Fishermen refused to put to sea IT,
when walking toward their boats, they
met pig or a hare.
One of the names which the Gaelic
speaking people of Scotland had for
the devil was "the black pig"
When the devil appeared in human
form he had usually horses hoof,
but also sometimes a pigs foot. He
was in the habit Of visiting young peo-
pie who played cards which We're,
VIGOROUSLY, the devils books"
Although the pig was generally as
sociated with the devil there was
highland evidence that 1t might as
supernatural being be, like the fairies,
of assistance to mankind. 1t could
assume a bird form. The devll-pig
and the god-pig were met with on the
sculptured stones of Scotland.
