Body Inductance Described

Cu-.io0-Vhat s meant BY bod, -,
duct ancr ID w l..
Answer-ln radio reception the body
mas peculiar aracleiistic of actjnr
as an lnductance Of very great resist
ance or as a capacity Of low value.
As an lnductance you can obtain re-
suits by lsconnecting the aerial from
'he apparatus and holding the aerial
IN ono hand and touching the antcnna
terminal Of your apparatus with the
other hand. In the case of nearby
broadcasting stations. where you are
using the vacuum tube detector with
Two stages of sInPiification. fairly good
loud reception can be obtained by plac
ing the body in series with the antenna
and the apparatus. To do so. however,
ls merely an experiment. and il has no
value, as 1t materially reduces tho
strength OF the signals. The body will
exert capacity effect if the hands
are placed across certain Of the ter1nj-
nails in your set. For instance. if YOU
place your finger on the grid and plate
terminals OF your vacuum tube the
body will act as a condenser, giving r
slight feed back from the plate circuit
TO the oscillatory circuit. and slight
increase in strength will he observed
on vacuum tube sets that are not re-
generat'Ve in Themselves. This body
capacity effect is sometimes the cause
Of great deal Of inconvenience, par
tlcularly IN sets using vacuum tubes
where the set itself is not ground
shielded. The annoyance consists of
the fact that after the operator Of
the set has completed the tuning ar
rangements and vithdravs his hand
the wholc set is thrown out of adiustY
ment. This is caused by the removal
of the small amount Of capacity rep
resented by the body out of the cir
cult when the operator withdraws his
hand.

Radio Tells Aircraft Altitude

The uses TO which wireIess Is being
nu+ on aircraft anart from ordinary
are yearly becoming
more impressive The latest idea is
TO use wireless for informing the air
plane pilot Of mis- exact height above
the ground.
Two methods are under consideration.
The first makes use Of the noise of the
engine. which is caught in series Of
nicrophones on the ground, enabling
the height OF the machine to be ascer-
tanned and transmitted to the pilot by
wireless. In the second use is made Of
a proximeter. acting upon the principle
that when electrical oscillations are set
up in circuit the frequency of these
oscil :a>.ns depends upon the electri-
cal capacity and lnductance of the
circuit.

Answer. At distance of sixty
miles almost any type Of vacuum tube
det.ctor will give YOU good results
from music. The place where YOU are
going may not be more than fifty miles
from Newark, in which case there is a
possibility that you may be able to
receive WIZ with your crystal set. ?
An inverted "L' type of aerial gives
YOU much better results than the "1'
type, but, of course, there are local
conditions where it is impossible to

Of the "T' type is that it receives
equally we'll from all directions. Il
does not matter if the aerial is not
level. In other words, it can be higher
at one end than at the other without
interfering with its efficiency. 3. With
the crystal detector set you can easily
add three pairs of telephones and you
might. under certain circumstances, be
able to add more The correct manner
to put them in the circuit is in series
