RADIO FIRE RISK EXHIBIT

Fans to Be Shown How to Avoid
Blazes in Installing Sets in
Their Homes.

A miniature building, wired under
the supervision of the national board
of fire underwriters to show radio
fans how to protect themselves
against fire hazards when installing
sets in their homes will BEG one of the
many new features of the big radio
show next week in the list Regiment

Decision to install this exhibit was
reached yesterday by the shows
technical advisory committee. whose
chairman is DR.. Miller Reese Hutchi-
son, for many years chief engineer
for Thomas A. Edison. DR.. s. S.

has supervised the installation Of
many miles of radio aerials and a

ed work on the exhibit at once.
Officials of the national board of
fire underwriters, cooperating with

Director E. C. Buchignani of the
radio show in affording to the thou
sands of radio enthusiasts flrst-

RADIO EXPLAINED

INSTRUCTOR NEW YORK. YMC.A. RADIO SCHOOL

able energy is also induced in the sec
ondary circuit of the receiver. which
possibly is inductively coupled to the
antenna and tuned to resonance. The
fact of the matter is, however, that
the energy induced in the unused
turns of the antenna coil is lost to
the secondary circuit. and there is
less energy to operate the detector.
The result is decreased signal
strength in the head telephones when
this condition is present. 1t is thus
seen that distributed capacity in a
coil is something which should be
eliminated as far as possible.
If the unused portion of the coil in
the above case were removed the eff
feet would be removed, of course. But
since it is usually impractical to do
this a switch might be placed so that
half of the unused thirty turns could
be disconnected from the circuit. The
switch is called a dead end switch"
Another disadvantage of distributed
coil capacity is that some loss of
energy may and usually does occur
As the material which separates the
another The dielectric thus depends
upon the Insulation of the wire, as
does also the loss. The arrangement
of the coil winding may be such that
capacity effects are to a great extent
eliminated. This is the reason, largely,
for the duolateral type of coil wind
ing. In this type of winding a large
amount of inductance can be secured
in a Small-SiZed coil. while at the
same time the distributed capacity
is kept low.

DISTRIBUTED COIL CAPACITY.

A length of wire parallel with an
other length of wire or turn of wire
in a coil parallel with another turn
produces an effective capacitance be-
tween the lengths or twins. In the case
Of the coil energy is stored in an
electrostatic field between adjacent
turns whenever oscillations flow in
the circuit containing the coil. The
effect is that of a small condenser.
although the principal property of a
coil is self-inductance. The coil thus
has inductance in comparatively large
measure and capacity in small mea-
sure and the effect produced is the
same as though the coil had no capac
ity, but a condenser was shunted
across it. The coil itself is an oscil-
latory circuit. with a wave length de-
pending upon its inductance and eff
fective capacity.
Suppose that a certain coil has a
total of fifty turns of wire and that
only twenty turns are in the antenna
circuit when the latter is tuned to
a certain wave length. The thirty re-
naming turns are unused, but there
may be sufficient capacity distributed
between those unused turns to cause
that portion of the coil TO be in reso-
nance with the antenna circuit. We
have a case where the antenna cir
cult induces oscillations of same fire.

ergy is transferred from the antenna
