WHERE RADIO
NOISES ARE
COMING FROM

Anyone who has listened in on a
radio set during the approach OF a
thunder storm has little new to dis
cover in the way of frying. Kissing
~bubbling and suffering noises. 1t
is only natural for the listener to
wonder where they all come from.
In general there are just two
kinds OF radio noises; the ones that
can't be avoided and ones tina can.
In the first class are all OF the nat
ural ones hat result from electric
al disturbances in the ether. through
which all radio waves travel. 1t
must be remembered that these
waves follow the same laws and be-
have in exactly the same manner as
the waves created ito order by man
made machinery.
The second class OF noises Is the
result of faulty wiring. or in many
cases imperfect or improperly con-
structed batteries. Wires must be
tight 1t is for this reason that so
many who build radio sets take
special care to solde all joints ev-
en- though binding posts provide a
seemingly tight grip on the wires.
To a great many people a battery
is just & battery. n need only be
considered from a standpoint OF volt
age and ampere-hour capacity. 1t
is true that these things are of
prime Importance. but there are 9TH
er features of construction deserv-
ing of far more attention than Is
commonly given them.
An important feature OF the B
or 24-volt battery for example is
that II must be able to hold its
charge for long periods not only
because of economy. but because ell
ectrical leakage from cell to cell or
from positive to negative posts of
I'M particular cell IS distinctly a
noise producer. 1t is to prevent
this disturbing effect that the Will
lard Storage Battery Company, has
developed a form Of B battery in
which each cell IS a glass Jar cap
ped with a special screw top and
separated from its neighbors by com
partment partitions. It is said
that the leakage and consequently
he possibility of 'B' battery noises
is practically eliminated.
