Ho,U to Rig Up Your Aerial


The smain secret Of success for an
aerial is good insulation. Insulating
means preventing the weak electric cur
rents from going anywhere except
through the wires intended for them.
An insnlator is a substance through
which electricity will not flow.
When you are putting plumbing
system in your house you see to it that
the water has an easy how through the
pipes and that there are no bad joints
or leaks through which it can escape.
Wires are the pipes for the radio
plumbing supply. Bad joints are bad
connections between wires. Leaks are
where the insulation ID poor and the
electric current manages to escape from
the wire and waste its energy somewhere
where 1t can not be used.
So good connections and good insula-
ton are the prime requisites of an ae-
rial and O receiving set.
Porcelain Is a good insulator; so are
! bard rubber, bakelite. sulphur. para
| fine. glass and a dozen other substances.
Consequently We use one Of these sub
stances wherever wire comes near an
other object through which it might
waste its energy.
In rigging up your aerial these in
sulators must receive the strictest at
| tention. On each aerial mast or pole
you will have pulley through which
you run the rope or clothesline that
hauls up the aerial. This rope ties to
one end Of good insulator, and the
end of the insulator.
If you have two, three or four wire
aerial. you will have sticks Of wood
called ':spreaders' to hold the wires the
proper distance apart. You will have to
have q rope tied to each end Of each
sprender 30 as TO tie the spreaders dOwr
horizontal. Each one Of these guy
ropes" a. they are called. must have
an insulator where 1t joins the spreader
This may seem useless precaution
but remember that on damp or rain!
day rope becomes saturated with water
and water IL an excellent conductor o
electricity. The currents received IL
your aerial wire would enjoy runnin.

cially adapted for aerial work. They ar

Rock Island Lines Had Busy Time
Accommodating Patrons at
Convention Time.

A total Of almost so special pas
senger trains were used by the
Rock Island lines in June to ac-
commodate the increase Of patrons
caused by conventions, of which the
grotto supreme council session in
Rock Island, was one Of the larg-
est.
The Rock Island lines handled
some of the largest and most i'm
portant delegations to the various
convention in San Francisco, and
oonvnetion in San Francisco, and
the grotto meeting here, but also
Of the many other organizations
and special parties.
The special trains to the grotto
meet carried almost 10000 paying
passengers, had a total of about
400 sleeping cars, coaches, etc,
and traversed total of more than
100000 train miles.
OF the total number Of trains
handled, almost the entire number
maintained their schedule, or
even did a little better than that,
Few OF them were late, none ave.-
aging much more than five minutes.
Reducing the figures to averages
showed an average of about nine
cars to the train, almost 2S0 paying
passengers, to the train, and some
thing less than 500 train miles to a
train, during the convention ses-
siOns.
