The Audion Bulb Amplifes Signals

Now that We have seen how the
audion bulb. as developed by Fleming
and DeFOrest. acts as n traffic cop In
n ore way street and permits electric
currents to strike the telephones in one
direction only, let ms turn our attention
to another and even more valuable abil-
ity which this Aladdin's lamp pos.
sesses.
This is the ability to receive ex-
tremely weak currents from the aerial
and deliver them to the telephones thirty
or more times as strong as when they
were received.
strument to illustrate this effect. This
instrument is the relay used in ordinary
land line telegraphy.
The illustration shows this relay
hooked up to the soundcr and dry cell
battery.
In each telegraph station there Is
a -set of these batteries connected to
the sounder and delivering 80 strong n
current that the sounder will be raised
or lowered with such powerful pull
that It's impact can be heard all over n
large room. II is not the electric
current sent from the distant station
that makes this loud sound. That cur
rent does not come in strong enough
to operate the sounder. 1t Is the
strong batteries under the operator $
table that do this and the weak signals
that come in from the distant station
merely work delicate trigger which
controls the current from these bat =
teries.
The illustra ton shows the relay first.
The currents sent from the distant sta :
ton may start from that station quite
strong. but the resistance offered by the
many miles Of wire over which they
travel weakens them. and they may
arrive at the relay so feeble ms not
even to make n visible spark II the two
ends of the wire are touched together.
The principal part Of the relay Is the
two coils seen mounted in the middle
of II. We have already learned that
when electricity travels around n coil
of this kind through great many turns
Of wire it creates magnetism and ever
very feeble current If sent good
many hundred times around core OF
soft iron will make this iron n magnet
much like the horseshoe magnets that
you buy in the toy shops. and this
magnet will be strong enough to attract
small piece of metal if placed near IT.
You will see in the picture the little
metallic trigger marked B. There is Il
little spring that holds it back agains,
the post marked c. While it is in this
position no current flows from the bat :
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1922-06-08

terry. When the trigger is pressed
against the coils II then makes con-
tact witht n metal point there and the
current Of the battery flows from the
battery through that point down the
trigger. and along the wire connection
and SO TO the sounder. and permits the
strong battery current to operate the
sounder.
Thus when feeble current comes
into the relay II causes the coils to be-
come magnets: these magnets draw the
trigger over to them and as soon as II
touches the metallic contact point the
strong battery current operates the
soundcr. All this. Of course. Is done
instanta neously because e'ectricity trav-
els at the tremendous rate of nearly
1877 900 miles in n single second.
And as soon as the incoming feeble
current stops. the coils cease to he
magnets. and the spring pulls the trig e.
gcr back away from the contact point.
thus stopping the flow Of current from
| the battery.
II Is in just this way that the feeble
currents which We receive in our aerials
govern the very strong currents of our
"B' batteries which operate the telc :
phones. These currents from the aerial
weak as they are. assist or stop the
flow of electrons from the hot filament
to the plate. It is only when these
clectrons flow that the powerful cur
rents from the "B' battery can operate
the telephone.
The electrons inside the bulb are like
the trigger Of the telegraph relay. The

highest settlement permanently oc-
cupied anywhere on the face of the
earth. 1t Is also a British mule sta
ton. and the mules bred here can
ascend to attitudes of 10000 feet
without inconvenience. but cannot
descend to an altitude below 1000
feet without killing them. At eleva-
tions of around $4,000 feet there are
few Buddhist monasteries occupied

tryingness Of the country Is under
standable when 1t is pointed out that
Rongii and Gnatong, both stations
used by the Everest expedition for
food supplies. are only eight miles
apart, but there is no less than TO-
900 feet difference in altitude. The
march between the two Tibetian
hamlets takes two days. the track

scenery from tropical to alpine.
The difficulties Of transporting food
supplies can therefore in a measure
be understood 1t is thought that
the first dump Of oxygen cylinders
will be made or has been made at
about 24.5o0 feet by trips from the
camp at the Chang La without US
ing any oxygen at all. II the bear
ers cannot carry the heavy cylinders
higher it is believed that the climb
ers will use bags supplied with oxy-
gen from cakes Of sodium peroxide
(oxylith) acted on by water and
used as a restorative at haIts.
1t Is more than likely that the
climbers have found ii impossible
to tolerate the restraint of all this
apparatus and will develop new and
interesting varieties OF the bends"
and which will determine how high
a man can really climb without oxy-
gen to get to a specified point.
Climber Must Save Himself.
Owing to the great demands made
upon the climbers strength at alti-
tudes above $4,000 feet he must save
himself as much as possible. He
cannot afford to carry loads himself
and his camps or bases must be pre-
pared for him as he moves up. SO
that when the supreme test comes
he may travel without any impede
ments but those of thick clothing,

the extremes of temperature encoun-

Of the climbing has so far been done
under a summer sun in the open

night below zero.
All the carefully prepared foods
will be needed when the lower levels
are reached, for every one of these

not care fig about repeating the

Food has been the main consider

These rations will be carefully
