PERFORMANCE CETEST METHODS
Rules Are Drawn Up by Bureau O
Standards for Investigation of
New Apparatus.

Owing to the very large demand
which has arisen for simple radio re-
ceiving sets, many retail dealers in
other lines of work have taken up the
handling of such equipment. 1t is very
difficult for such dealers to decide
whether sets offered by the manufac-
turers are of good or poor quality,
says Radio Merchandising. The whole
art Is SO new and some of the ques-
tions involved are so technical that
the problem presents considerable diff
ficulties.
AS consequence, the Department
Of Commerce, and particularly the bu-
reau of standards, has received a
great many requests for tests of such
apparatus. AS it is impossible for the
bureau to conduct all the work of this
nature which it would be called upon
to perform, it has drawn up rules COW
ering performance test methods which
are to be carried out by the Electrical
Testing Laboratories of New York in
cooperation with the National Retail
Dry Goods association, the latter rep
resenting the retailers of radio receiv-
ing sets. AS the work develops, sug-
gestions regarding improvements of
methods of testing will be subject to
the approval Of the bureau of stand
ards.
The tests outlined include: Inves-
tigation as to the material and work
manship, the mechanical and electrical
design, simplicity of adjustment, rug
gedness sensitivity, sharpness of tun-
ing, wave length range and faithful
ness of reproduction in radio telephone
reception.

coming signal until a point Is reached
where the energy fed back from the
plate circuit is just equal to the losses
in the secondary circuit.
An increase in the coupling be-
tween the two coils M and n will
cause the tube to Oscillate. BY chang
ing the tuning of the secondary cir
cult, the frequency of the tube oscil-
lations will be slightly different from
the frequency Of the incoming Oscil-
lations due to the received signals,
and the beat note will be heard In
the phones. The pitch of the beat
note will be the arithmetic difference
between the frequency of the incom-
ing oscillations and the oscillations
furnished by the oscillating detector
tube.
The human ear is most sensitive to
a note corresponding to 1000 vibra-
tions per second or electrically to a
note produced by 500 cycles. Suppose
the received signal was on a 200-meter
wave length Of 100000 cycles. By
adjusting the circuits so that the tube
would oscillate at a frequency of l.

However, it was not until Edwin II.
Armstrong made his great discovery
of circuit arrangement which fed
back portion of the large local plate
current into the circuit through which
the incoming signals arrived, thereby
greatly amplifying the strength of the
signal, that the vacuum tube reached
ority as a detector of radio signals.
The circuit arrangement by which
energy from the plate circuit of a
three-electrode vacuum tube is fed
back to the grid circuit is known by
a different name, though, on account
Of the different names used and the
different circuit arrangements used to
accomplish the same results, amateurs
are very apt to become confused. Some
Of the names given to the circuits
which feed energy from the plate cir
cult to the grid circuit are Feed

TUNED Plate" and "Ultra-Audion."
In Fig. f is shown a three-elec-

KEEPS GIRL TWO
YEARS IN SHED
Father, Found Guilty of Extreme
Cruelty. Declares She Would
Not Behave.
INSANITY is RESULT
Long Confinement Nearly Deprves the
Young Woman of Sight and Speech
Causes Big Sensation
In Community.

Bucyrus, Ohio.-Jacob P. Menges,
charged with keeping his twenty-six-
yeGr-old daughter, Irene, in a dingy
smokehouse for two years because she
wouldn't behave" has been found
guilty Of excessive cruelty by a jury
In Judge RummelS' court. The girl,
said to have been driven insane by the
long confinement, is now an inmate Of
the State hospital at Toledo.
The case grew out Of the fact that
on May 5, Sheriff Edward J. Knappen-
berger went to the Menges home, mid
way between Gallon and Crestline, and
found the girl, partly nude, in smoke
house near the barn. The shed con-
tanned little but cot and blanket.
Irene was brought to Bucyrus, where
she was cared for by Mrs. Knappen-
berger, wife Of the sheriff. She was
reported to show signs of long neglect.
May 16 she was sent to the State
hospital and Menges was arrested
on state warrant charging cruelty.
Family Fought Raiders.
Chester A. Meek, Crawford county
prosecutor, states that the case is
brought under state law, making the
finding of the justice court final.
The release of Irene attracted wide
spread attention, as the statements
made by county officials at the time re-
vealed that the girl had been a pris-
oner In the shack for long time, re-
ports as to the duration of her cap
tivity varying from two to six years.
Members Of the party raiding the
Menges home met opposition and inter-
ference from members of the family.
The girl was passive, accepting relief
without a syllable.
When she was brought to the Craw-
ford county Jail here she remained in
ert, and her only words were few
brief acknowledgements Of thanks for
the acts of kindness shown to her.
Released From Asylum.
Under the care Of the sheriff's wife
she frightened noticeably, but showed
little response to attempts to induce
her to explain her captivity in the
shed.
State records obtained by authorities
here revealed that Irene had been con-
fined in the Toledo institution in 1914,
but released as being mentally cOmpe-
tent June 80, 1915.

TIPS TO THE RADIoIST

DR.. Marconi cites as one of the
future benefits of radio the abil-
ity of man to talk with his
wife without others being able to
listen in. Some of US who live
in apartments and have to listen
to the nightly dialogues of the
Jarr family will hope that they
will arrange to use radio at no
late date.
No better example of the YER
satility of radio can be cited
than it's use for transmitting
Chinese music.
The city fathers of Newark,
n. j., are framing a law to tax
all possessors of radio aerials
81 year.
1t is reported from Washing
ton that President Harding has
a powerful radio set installed in
the White House.
The BARRIERS have evidently
talked themselves out and are
now resorting to radio so that
their customers may feel at
nome. The wave with the shave.

denser G., the natural period of the
circuit between X and can be made
to have the same frequency electri-
cally as the alternating current sup
piled to the grid at TT by the alter
natOr. When this condition is reached
the tuned circuit between the points
x and Y becomes an infinite induct-
ance in the external plate circuit. The
potential variations between x and
are now a maximum and are exact
amplified reproductions Of the poten-
tial variations applied to the grid cir
cult by the alternator.
Going back to the simple type OF
standard loose coupler hookup for
vacuum tube, we will have a circuit
arrangement as shown in Fig. G. Sup
pose that the principle Of the circuit
of Fig. r be applied to the circuit ar
rangement Of Fig. G. The result Will
be Fig. III. In Fig. Fl the inductance
M has been placed in the secondary
c;rcuit and the inductance N has been
placed in the plate circuit.
When the coils M and N. are widely
separated Fig. III is essentially the
same as Fig. G. An incoming radlo
signal impresses a small difference OF
potential on the grid Of the tube III
Fig. III which in turn liberates a large
amount of energy in the plate circuit
AS the coil N is brought nearer the
coil M some of this plate circuit ener-
gy is transferred to the grid circuit

carrying open umbrellas. Vacationists
