From the moment of her American
debut, Nine. Gadski's fame was assured.
She made her first appearance as Elsa
in 'Lohengrin," and her triumph was
little short of sensational. For two
seasons she remained a member of the
Damrosch-E Ellis company, constantly ID.
creasing her repertoire. Her essay OF
the great Wagnerian parts was the
step that placed her promptly on the
limited roll of the elect.
In 1893, Nine. Gadski became a

her engagements at the Metropolitan

until the outbreak Of the war.
After an artistic retirement OF five
years, Nine. Gadski made her first ap-
pearance in q concert recital at Car

was accorded one of the most memor-

Nevada Van der Veer, c%ontralto, and
Reed Miller, tenor, will be heard at the
Grand theater next Tuesday evening, as
the second number on the Great Falls
artists series.
Among their engagements last sea-
son, they drew a capacity audience to
hear them sing in Amsterdam, N. Y,
and were heartily received. Both artists
were a%pplauded for their solo and con-

quote the Record:
"a large audience filled the audi

given by Nine. Nevada Van der Veer
and Reed Miller.
"The program began auspiciously
with a duet from The Jewels of the
Madonna in which the two voices
blended pleasingly in its beautiful har-
monies. Two numbers by Mr.. Miller
followed. The second number, IF With
All Your Hearts, was sun with

Associate Editor, Radio News

Major E. III. Armstrong, well known
by his contributions to the art of radio
transmission, has recently made public
his latest invention, which ~undoubted-
ly will in the future revolutionize ra-
do communication. The super-resen-
~erative circuit which he described in
detail before the Institute of Radio
and the Radio Club of Amer
lea is particularly efficient on short
wave lengths. In fact, its efficiency
greatly increases as the wave length
decreases. thus making possible the
amplification at radio frequency of
wave lengths as short as 20 meters, a
thing practically impossible with the
p~resent-day systems. The other ad-
v~antages of the new circuit are-great

Next cut out a piece of formica or
bakelite large enough to cover the
space occupied by the contacts and also
allow for the two stops which hold this
piece to the panel and at the same time
serve to keep the switch blade from
running off the contacts. Clamp this
insulating block in place, back of the
panel. Then drill the two holes for
the stops through the panel ana r aiso

put the stops in place and tighten the
nuts on back. This will hold the block
securely TO the panel. Using the same
size drill that was used to drili the
holes in the panel before, n following
the same holes that were drilled before
for the contacts. drill through the block
in the rear. This will assure perfect
alignment of the holes in the panel with
those in the block. This is necessary
because the block supports the con
facts while the heads of the contacts
fit in the panel. Next take the block
off the panel. and drill out the holes
in panel for the heads Of the contacts.
This drill must be the same diameter
as that Of the head Of the contact.

The great amount of application IS
The great amount of application IS
the same process used in any regener-

TEN which prevents the tube. from os-
cillating while it amplifies to its full
capacity. Those familiar with regen-
~erative circuits know that when the
plate variometer or feedback coil Is
turned slowly the intensity of the sig
mails increases until the tube starts os-
cillating, distorting the signals entire
". With the super-regenerative cir
cult it is possible to increase the am
plification enormously, since the tube
does not oscillate when the feedback
effect is increased beyond normal
limits.
OF course, this advantage is had only
with careful tuning, and the manipula-
ton of the various elements of the cir
cult requires a little patience IN order
to obtain best results. In the circuits
shown are one oscillator tube and one
amplifier tube. The oscillator produc-

ing oscillations Of a certain frequency
varies periodically the resistance OF
the tuned grid circuits of the amplifier
tube. During half Of the cycle the re-
sistance is reduced to less than zero,
consequently the signals are tremend-
ously amplified, but the tube starts to
oscillate. At this instance, before these
oscillations can build up to any extent,
the resistance of the grid circuit is in
creased, during the other half of the
cycle, reducing the amplification but
stopping the oscillations.
BY referring to Fig. I this may cas-
lily be understood. AS may be seen,
the grid circuit of the o~scillator tube
is connected to the filament through
the grid circuit of the simplifying tube;
consequently when during half a cycle
the grid of the oscillator is positive. a
current flows through this circuit in
~creasing its resistance. During the

other half cycle no grid current flows
and the resistance of the circuit be
comes normal. Now, if the coupling
between the feed-back coil and the grid
circuit of the amplifier is frightened,
signals are amplified in the usual way
whit the advantage that the ampllflca-
ton is enormously increased, since it ls
possible to tighten the coupling beyond
what would be the osciIlating point in
an ordinary regeneratiye receiver The
oscillations which lend to take place are
stopped periodically at a frequency,
which is regulated by the operator.
