Should Eliminate
Unsoldered Joints
Must Use Care When Light
ming Switch Blade Is
Pivoted.

In the design of radio installations.
one of the simplest and best methods
to increase efficiency in both trans
mission and reception is to eliminate,
as nearly as possible, all unsoldered
Joints. One stumbling-block is often
found in the joints of the lightning
switch. Since this switch is out of
doors, these joints. because of the ac-
ton of the weather, are Of very high
resistance and a test may show that
the cheif trouble is at the point where
the blade is pivoted. The pivot to work
freely has to be loose, allowing dirt
and oxide to collect, while at the jaws
the clipping action makes fairly
good self-cleaning contact. 1t is re-
markable that reception is not entirely
blocked at times by the poor con-
facts at the middle support. Such a
joint is particularly harmful to @. w.
transmission with its low potential. A
temporary solution of the problem is
found by dispensing with the switch.
but of course this can not be tolerated.
In designing a new blade the first
consideration is to afford the same or
even better protection from lightning
and after that to increase electrical
efficiency and maintain mechanical
strength, economy, and ease of opera
ton. The design evolved can be APP
piled to any standard switch. is easily
made by amateurs and can be stand
ardized by manufacturers. 1t requires
no changes in the switch except the
blade, and, in the case of an entire
switch being manufactured with this
feature, would be cheaper. Several of
these switches have been in use for al
most year and have given excellent
results.

TO HAUL AWAY MOUNTAIN
Workmen Near Bisbee, Ariz., Are
Trying New Venture in
Copper Mining.

For some time past, it seems, work
men near Bisbee, in Arizona, have
been trying a new venture in copper
mining. Instead of following the pre-
scribed method of following out a
mountain and using shafts and tun-
nels, they dig it down with seam
shovels and cart it away. One can
form some idea of the magniture Of
the task when he learns that it will
take more than sixteen years to COM
plete it, that during the process ap-
proximately 25,000,0OO tons of copper
ore will be carted away, and that from
it something like billion pounds Of
copper will be extracted.
During the five years the work has
been carried on five million cubic
yards or more of material have been
taken from the mountain, though that
amount does not represent pure ore
AS fast as the material is dug it is
hauled over a fifteen-mtle railway to
smelters and mills, where it is treated.
An engineer humorously remarks
that when the huge pile is gone there
will be room for the town to grow.

Nothing Doing.

MacTavish was not a mean man.
No, he just knew the value of money.
When he developed sore throat he
meditated fearfully upon the expen-
diture of a doctors fee. AS an alter
native he hung about for a day and
half outside the local Doctors surgery.
Finally he managed to catch the great
man.

needed 1-16 by in. by AZ in., bent
as shown in the drawing, and drilled
one-half inch from the ends with a
Is in. drill or larger and countersunk.
The bakelite strip is also drilled to
accommodate the pivot at one end and
with the 1s in. drill at the other. All
four corners should be rounded. The
copper strip is then riveted to the
bakelite and the rivet filed off flush
on each side. The copper must be al
lowed to turn freely. The lead-in Is
then soldered to the copper strip and
the switch reassembled for use.
The bakelite forms an insulating
handle for throwing the switch and
also increases the insulation of the
parts from the base. Only one I'M
soldered contact remains, and several
sharp turns are eliminated, which re-
duces brush discharge. AS the copper
strip swivels the lead-in is not kinked
or twisted in any way.

ly as modification of the plug and

keep it always at hand.

Raw materials of which portland
cement is made come out OF the
ground usually as solid rock.
They must first be crushed,
ground and reground until at least
IS per cent of the resulting powder
will shake through sieve that will
actually hold water.
This sieve is considerably finer
than the finest silk fabric. 1t has
200 hair-ike bronze wires to the
inch. That means 10000 holes to
the square inch.
But the several crushings and
grindings necessary to reduce solid
rock to this extreme hneness are
only the beginning of cement
making.
The powdered materials must then be sub
iected to intense heat for several hours in
huge rotary kilns. Here they are half melted
and become a substance much harder than
the original rock-clinker, it is called.
Then the clinker must be crushed and
ground until at least 78 per cent Of the result
ing product will pass through the sieve woven
finer than silk. This is portland cement.
More than 80 power and fuel consuming
operations are necessary in cement making.
The electric power alone used in producing
barrel Of portland cement would, if pur-
chased at usual household rates, cost $1.70
Few manufactured products go through
