The development Of the new Arm

Iateo many, both of amateurs and pro
lesSlonals, engaged in radio expert
mentlng, to renewed activity, even in
tnls season OF static. The use Of col
aer1als which 1t makes possible. the
ellminauon or several of the compare,
lively costly tubes with no loss in sig
nal strength, and the possibility OF
picking up radio waves of much less
intensity, and by amplification getting
clearness of signals without so much
OF the disturbing static have been pow
er1ul arguments for the new circuit.
Europe Follows America
While the United States has secured
and still retains leadership in wireless
development, owing to the liberal
treatment of amateurs, followed the
last year by the extensive broadcast
ing systems which have stimulated
popular interest in radio, other coun-
tries are beginning to wake up.
France has been the first having an.
nounced a removal of many hampering
restrictions on amateurs. Only com
merclal and government stations have
Deen allowed to transmit in that conn
try heretofore, but amateurs are now
Delng licensed also. France is also
showing an awakening interest in
broadca sting.
The German postofice. after investi-
eating and experimenting, has settled
upon radio telegraph as the simplest
and cheapest method of distributing
news from central point and the gov
eminent has entered into a contract
with a news agency to circulate mar
get news, prices, reports of stocks and
similar information. Subscribers will
pay 1000 marks a year for the serv-
ice and reception by other than sub
scrlbers will be prevented by Changing
the figures SO that they will have to
be decided. The subscription price in
cludes cost of installing a single wire
antenna, and a single tube receiver
with two stages of audio ampIifcation

systems of Picking and Tientsin.
British Radio
Great Britain, although her papers
nave been booming radio and the
people have been showing a live in
terest as indicated by the immense
orders for receiving apparatus, has not
adopted any extensive broadcasting
program with the result that novices
who have bought or built sets are ALL
ready with nothing to listen to. Even
the commercial companies have sus-
pended arrangements for broadcasts
and no papers have offered them as I

NEW EXPLANATION
FOR RADIO WAVES

All kinds OF explanations have been
offered as to row the radio waves
travel from the transmitter to the re-
ceiver. In a recent lecture given be-
fore the Royal Society of Arts. Prof.
]. A. Flemming. the well-known radio
authority, gave a new explanation.
After a discussion of the propaga-
ton Of electromotive waves. DR..
Flemming proceeded to explain that
the presence Of the highly conduct
ing layer in the upper regions Of the
atmosphere. in which the component
gases are hydrogen and helium. is
probably due to electrified dust which
comes to us from the sun. from which
it is repelled by the radiation pres
sure against the grayitation attrac-
tion.
He said that this dust came from
the sun with enormous velocity and
entered the higher levels Of the at
mosphere and rendered ii conducting.
This conducting layer guides the
radio waves round the earth and pre-
vents them from escaping into space
The lecture concluded with some re-
marks on the effect OF recent physico-
mathematical speculations on rela-
tivity. and especially the agnostic
view now taken as regards the exis-
tence of a space filling ether. on the
theory Of autobiography. 1t is

HOW TO OPERATE
MODULATOR TUBE

According to e. s. Purington.
writing in Scientific Paper, No. 423
Of the Bureau OF Standards, the most
satisfactory method OF modulating
the output current Of an eiectron
tube generating circuit is by variation
Of the operating plate voltage. A
study is made Of: UD Operation Of
the modulator tube as an aperiodic
power amplifier; CD the actual load
impedance of a tube acting as an
amplifier; (3) imperfections Of the
audio choke coil due to its reactance; /;
(D the audio impotence of parts Of
the generating circuit, and 80 the
presence Of electromagnetic energy
in the radiator unit.
The signal strength under condi-
tions of no distortion. using a re-
ceiving set with square law of recep-
tion. Is proportional TO the difference
between the peak radio power and
the minimum radio power in the
transmitter radiator unit.

Questions and Answers

Q. What is meant by vernier ad-
justment and what is its value?
A. The vernier adjustment is the
fractional adjustment of getting the
circuit tuned as exactly as possi-
BILE to the transmitting station. You
can attach a vernier adjustment to
your set by shunting a three-plate
condenser across the secondary con-
denssr already mentioned above.
Measures Capacity.
Which is best, .001 mid. .0011 mid
or .0006 MID? Could you explain
this for me?
A. The letters mid mean micro
farad. This is the name of the
standard measurement of capacity
in a condenser, just in the same
manner that the "ampere" is the
name of the measurement of cur
rent in electricity. The, amount of
capacity in a condenser is expressed
in the number of microfarads. or
fraction OF microfarads, as 2 MID.
or .0O5 pfd, and so on. These fig
ures signify the amount of capacity
or size of the condenser. OF course,
the size of the condenser depends
upon what it is used for and where
it is used.
How Tuning Coil Works.
Q.-What effect is caused when
the secondary of a tuning coil is
pulled in and out of the primary? :?
Is this action really necessary? If
not could two stationary coils be
used? Z
An a tuning coil when the sec
ondary is pulled out of the primary.
1t is in condition that is known
as loosely coupled" The object of
this is. to get sharper tuning and
cut down interference from sta
tions. which it is not desired to lis
ten to. OF course in pulling the
secondary out of the primary you
will reduce the str ength of the sig
nails of the station you want to lis
ten to, but you will to a certain ex-
tent eliminate interference. You will
see, therefore. that stationary coils
would not answer the same pur-
pose. Ore coil can be used for both
primary and secondary, provided
that suitable "sliders" are used for
the primary and secondary circuits.
Can Use One switch.
o.--Can the same ground be used
AOi Ai6HthlHS SWITCH ana Tor lnSlru-
ments, using single pole throw
switch to cut out this instrument
gro ind when they are not in use?
Ayes 1t will not be necessary
to use the single throw switch, pro-
vided you have a heavy double
throw switch outside your house
that will ground the aerial when
the apparatus is not in use.
VIII Need Rhs..t.t
Q. Can filament jacks be used in
place of rheostats? Is it advisable?
A. Filament jacks can be used so
that the bulb not in use is not
lighted, but you will still need a
rheostat to get the right value OF
current in the filament.
Probably Less Efficient.
Q. Can one jack and a rotary cam
switch be used in place of two or
three jacks in a detector and two
step amplifler set?
A. You might be able to devise
some scheme with a cam switch
whereby, 1t would take the place of
two or three jacks, but / doubt
whether 1t would be as efficient as
the jacks themselves.
Q. Will spider-web coils take the
place of a transformer OF. vario-
coupler? What is their value and
use?
n the same manner as honeycomb
oils. but they are more suitable
for long wave reception.

A Greatly Expanded Program

The sense of responsibility to
the public which, in response to
the suggestion of representatives
of the Government, brought the
Radio Corporation of America
into the field of international
communication to compete with
foreign controlled cables, is &C
tive now in the desire to take
whatever risks are necessary to
further the domestic develop
ment of the art.
In evidence of this, the fac
tories manufacturing for the Ra-
dio Corporation of America are
operating on greatly expanded
production program. They are
Straining euery nerOe and muscle
TO meet the demand.
1t is not merely a question of
men and raw materials. There are
limiting factors in some of the
delicate equipment parts, and even
when all production is running
evenly, new Jigs, dies and tools
must be especially designed, man.
ufactured and installed before
the production forces can be
increased.
AS result of the efforts that
are being made, it is expected

Frequency Amplifer
Great Aid to CLARITY

The extent to which the sensi-
tiveness of the regenerative receiv-
ing set and two-step amplifier may
be raised is nothing short of mar
velous. However. there are certain
critical adjustments where the ut
most sensitiveness is obtained. but
only at the expense of serious dis
tortion and bowling. Indeed, 1T is
aggravating. under such. circum-
stances. to be receiving radio tele-
phone music and talks amid such
noises that good reception becomes
quite impossible.
Thus, with sixty-foot piece Of
wire serving as the aerial one may
be able to pick up Pittsburgh radio
phone broadcasting station in the
vicinity of New York, but only by
means of maximum regeneration
and two-step amplihcation. What
is gained in loudness is sacrificed
by clarity, so that in the long run
nothing is really gained. And here,
precisely, is where the radio fire.
uuency ampifier comes into use, for
it can amplify the signals them
selves before they are brought to
the detector to be rectified.
