First Aid For Radio Fans

time. 5. The above answer also cov- CTS this question. 6. Ths wave length of your aerial is approximately 120 meters. :. Within certain limitations It is much better to have the aerial as high md clear as possible in or der to get good results. s. WIZ is approximately IS miles from you. 2AB is about a mile, 2. The con denser is a very important instru- ment in radio work as it gives the necessary amount of capacity to the circuit to b-lance the inductance and make the circuit reoonnant 10. A circuit, of course, can be us ed without cond snser, due to the act that there IS certain amount Of distributed capacity in all coils of wire. l could not tell you offhand whether your cir cult will function without n conden- ser, because l do not know Just what klnd or circuit you are using. |. under the recent ruling Of he Ma uonai Board of Fire Underwriters 1t IS no. necessary to have an outside ground connection for lightning pro- lection where only receiving appara- JUS IS used. consequently you can place the lightning arrester on the inside of your house, provided that all or the nor ial usual precautions are taken and you can then use the same ground that you used with your apparatus. Tn. best ground fo- this purpose is the connection to tho water pipe system of ycur house. The wire should be fastened to the pipe with a specially made ground clamp and, if it is also feasible. should be soldered in addition.

Correct Wire for Aerial

Occasionally aerial was of single wire. 20 feet long, with about s5 feet or No. IS lead-in wire. My ground wire was also No. IS and about 50 rect long, being attached to the water pipe have recently added two wires 10 the aerial, so that it now is A fhree-wire aerial of about 75 feet in length. By using piece of tested galcha I received WIZ fairly well. My aerial Is on top of a four story apartment house. i. Should my latest aerial be more elucient han the one wire aerial? 2. Will a lead in wire Of No. be more efficient than my No. IS? Ditto as to ground wire? 3. My lead-in rests against the wall at some places. Is this correct. or should it be insulated all the way in? 4. When not using my phones I switch the aerial over onto the ground. Is this sufficient to prevent lightning trouble? 5. If l make a coil twice as large as my present one. Will 1t be more efficient in any re- spect? Can l hook up more than one set of recei CTS and receive as we'll? Will the fire escape have al / influ- ence on the lead-ln ire running alongside but two feet away?-I A.
 Answer-l and 2. Your aerial wire IS really too small in size. It should be no. fl instead of No. IS. The lead in and the ground should also be the same size. This aerial will be more efficient than single wire aerial of the same length. The multiple aerial wire may bring in little more in- reference from static. Since you have got it up. though, I would ad- wise you to let it stay. as you are getting pretty fair results 8. You must absolutely insulate the lead in wire from your house, otherwise you will get lee age. If you will insu- late 1t properly think that your re- suits will e noticeably improved, 4. The new regulations of the fire un- derwriters make he lightning ar rester absolutely imperative, and I would suggest that yo.' install one. You can still leave the switch in if you so desire. 5. A coil twice as large as your present one will be less efficient and unnecessary. 6. You can use several pairs of telephones on your set, btt you must connect them in series with each other: otherwise you will not get any results. This is absolutely imperative. I. The fire escape should have no influence on the lead-in.

Lightning Protection

Question: do not see what will stop lightning from coming into the house, as the connection from the lightning protector leads right 10 the set in the house. Wouldn't the light ming follow the wire leading in as well as the wire leading to the lightning protector?-C. E. NJ.
 Answer-Lightning has the peeu- lar property of taking the shortest path toward the ground and it will rather jump across a very small air gap than pass through all of the turns of your tuning coil to ground. You need have no fear about this. as the device will thoroughly protect the house and it meets with all the requirements of the fire under writers.

TELLSSOURCE OF
 RADIO NOISES
Battery Service Company Man Tells Where These Noises
 Come From

Anyone who has listened in on A radio set during tho approach of a thunder storm has little new to dis cover in the way of frying. hissins, bubbling and sputtering noises. It Is only natural for the listener to won der where they all come from.
 In general there are just two kinds of radio noises. the ones that can't be avoided and ones that can. In the first class are all of the nat ural ones that result from electrical disturbances in the ether, through which all radio waves travel, It must low the same laws and behave i'll exactly the same manner as the waves created "to 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. It is for this reason that so many who build radio sets take spe- cial caDb to solder all joinE even though binding posts provide a seem inEly tight grip on the wires.
 To great many people a battery Is just. battery, and need only be considered from standpoint of volt age and amphe e-hour capacity. It is true that these things are of prime importance. but there are other fea- lures of construction deserving of far more attention than is commonly given them. The Willard A storage battery fulfills every one of these fea- lures.

Making a yario-coupier.

Question: am going to construct receiving station with a range of 100 to 1000 meters or whereabouts. Please answer the following ques- tions and oblige: 1. What size vario- coupler should be used? 2. What size ticker (to be adjusted by taps only) should 1 use? 3. What size variable condenser shall I use? {. Is a ball and cup variometer or vario- coupler the better? Please give all necessary information concerning size of wire, number of turns, etc, required on the coils 6. An audion detector Is going to be used-R. c. H.
 Answer-A vario- coupler for this purpose should be wound on a four inch diameter tube in such manner that you have 15o turns of No. 24 covered magnet wire. These turns should be tapped individually for the first ten taps. The first group of ten taps should be connected with a switch and the Seeond group of taps to another switch. in order to enable you to bring in any particular num- Der of turns into the primary circuit. The secondary should be wound on q three inch tube and this tube should be so arranged that 1t can be com pletely turned around inside of the primary tube. It should have upon 1t as many turns of No. 2s D. s. c. wire as can be placed within winding two inches wire. A .oo5 mid, variable condenser should be connected across the secondary for tuning purposes. The tickler coll should be wound on the primary tube. using the same sized wire as the primary and having about fifty turns. tapped each five

INDUSTRIAL IRRECoNCILABLEs Erorr, yNaalsly

From Leslie's Weekly.
 Coal is everybody's business. With out it the mechanism of industry would come to an immediate stop. Hence when the miners unjustlfiably demanded an increased wage, public protest is inevitable and proper. But fatality, engenders more stupidity on the other. No sooner do the miners put themselves in the wrong than the operators go them one worse by a flat refusal to meet the representatives of labor in gen eral conference. though this is the method agreed upon for threshing out differences. Such is the situa ton in the Ohio fields. In central Pennsylvania the operators announce themselves as prepared to fight Government arbitration Why this arbitrary attitude? Is it due to fear on the part of the mine owners lest through conference or arbitration light be thrown upon the secret pro- fits of coal mining? Wages are an open book: the public knows exact ly what is paid for mine labor. Profits of the mines are kept sedulousiy concealed. In his statement of opin- ion opposing the Industrial Relations Court, Governor Miller of New York said that the greatest thing the state can do towards settling disputes be- tween capital and labor "is to secure exact information of the facts in- yolved In these disputes so that the public may know what the facts are" To prevent the public from ob tainine such facts has been the gen eral policy of the coal operators. If the strike comes on April 1. as seems to have been made certain by the ac- ton of the mine operators. they will go into 1t under the double handicap of having discarded the accepted me- chanism of industrial peace and of maintaining secrecy upon essential points which the public has right to know and eventually must, for it's own protection. irsist upon knowing

Description of An Arrester

Question:. What is lightning arrester? ?. Must wire lead from the lightning arrester to the ground :? 3. How far should my "lead-in' be from the side of the house? 4 Which is better, lightning arrester or a lightning switch? 5. What kind of a, switch is necessary for lightning protection? 6 What is the wave length of an aerial ninety feet long, including the "lead-in"? '. Is 1t true that the higher up the aerial the better one can receive? 8. About how far is WIZ from me? About how far is 2xB from me? 9. What is the work of a condenser? 10. I have "hook-up" with which I do not need a condenser. Is this all right? II. If I use ground wire (outside for lightning protection) l must run the wire around one corner of the building and then down about thirty-five feet. Is this all right?
 Answer-1. A lightning arrester consists of very small air gap be- tween two pieces of metal inclosed in a vacuum. 2. It is absolutely i'm peratfve that you have wire from one side of the arrester to the ground. It must be good ground connection. The aerial will be attached to the other terminal of the arrester. 8. It is best to keep the wire at least five inches from the side of the house
 This can be done by bracket insula- tors. 4. lightning arrester is better than the lightning switch, because it always functions automatically and eliminates the personal element. By that l mean that with a lightning switch you might forget to throw the switch over to the ground connection. whereas with the arreste- such an operation is unnecessary and you are consequently protected all of the
