RADIO FREQUENCY AMPLFIERS
USED BY BRITISH AMATEURS
Government Amazed by Results Obtained With
Low Powered Sets.

Can the amateur radio operators
of this country maintain the su-
premacy they established last year.
when they successfully transmitted
messages across the Atlantic Ocean
with the small amount of power
permitted them by the government
They will be given an opportunity
to demonstrate their prowess dur
Ing the ten days beginning De-
cember 22 next. when the third ar
nual TRANSATLANTIC test will be un-
dertaken with a westbound trans
mission for the first time in the
annals OF amateur communication.
Last year the amateurs of this
country sent Paul Cooley over to
Scotland with a super-heterodyne
receiver for the purpose of prov
ing conclusively TO British amateurs
that trans Atlantic communication
with low power transmitters was
perfectly possible. His success ex-
ceeded all expectations.
The success of the undertaking
was not confined to Mr.. Cooley,
however. as several British anna
teurs also received their American
colleagues in a surprising manner.
In the case Of the British amateurs
the receiving equipment was al
most exclusively based on radio
fraouancv qualification
Britain Lets Down Bars.
The astounding results obtained
during the second annual tests
opened up the eyes OF the British
authorities, who have vigorously
heldi down their amateurs The
work OF w. r. Burne. an amateur
of Manchester, was so exceptional
that IL convinced the British gov
ernment the amateur was after all
performing a very important func,
tion in the development Of the ra-
dio art.
AS a consequence the british au-
thorities have given the wireless
Society of Manchester permission
to erect a special transmitting sta
tion for the purpose of attempt
ing to bridge the Atlantic from
the East TO the West with one
kilowatt of power. The extraor-
binary license issued for this sta
tion specifies that no more than
this amount of power shall be used
and that the apparatus shall utilize
continuous waves.
In Great Britain the restrictions
which have always been maintained
n n
what kind of aerial should be used.
and placed limitations upon its size.
In the license given to the Man
chester society this rigid rule has
also been modified, and permission
granted for the erection of a more
efficient type of aerial for the pur-
pose in view.
As result of the permission.

RADIO TYPEWRITER INVENTION
AIDS SECRECY IN MESSAGES
Sending by Machine Proves Boon to Use of
Wireless in War Maneuvers.

Another chapter has been added
to the story of radio. So many and
SO remarkable have been the
adaptations of this method of COM
munication. that the interested
observer of the worlds progress
scarcely has the time to familiarize
himself with one mode before an
other appears. The latest achieve
ment is the sending of typewriter
messages through space. This feat
has been accomplished through the
efforts of radio experts working in
conjunction with the Navy Depart
ment. who have thoroughly demon
strated its practicability for scout
and battlepianes in time of war.
Also radio typewritfng represents
added efficiency for business
methods
To the casual onlooker the send
ing apparatus of the outfit resem-
bles the ordinary commercial tyne

carried on the plane. and in addi-

The receiving station. or course, has
similar equipment to that on the
plane. When any particular letter
or number is depressed on the key
board of the sending apparatus, a
certain radioactive energy is re-
leased from the antenna of the
plane and travels through the air.

A Ukranian engineer Is reported
to have discovered a similar method

without the danger of being inter-

A room occupant notifies the
switchboard operator of his inten-
ton to leave hurrIeeIy. The guest
requests that his laundry, baggage.
and mail be taken care of. and that
taxicab be ordered to take him
to the railroad station. The tele-
phone attendant Immediately sends
message via the printing tele-
aph machine. This message is
eceived simultaneously by the
laundry. baggage, and mail clerks,
the cashier, taxicab stand, and the
captain OF the bellboys. The hurry

to pay his bill. and is extremely
gratified to find everything in
readiness for rapid departure.

handling this kind OF traffic should
be permanently located"
