AVIATION ACTIVITIES in WASHINGTON
NAVAL AIR STATION.

Lieut.. Rutledge Irvine, executive Of
ficer Of the station, added another
record to his chain of commendable
! aeronautical feats when he established
world altitude record for single
| notored ship of 11,300 feet at Dayton,
| Ohio. Tuesday. Lieut.. Irvine piloted
a Davis torpedo plane, equipped with
| landing wheels, and carried an OBJ
server and 2,405 pounds of cargo. The
ship was in the air two and a half
hours.

Lieut.. Irvine, who is &c years old, has
been at the air station since January

coast and was one of the pilots who

las. an American plane, was superior to
the competitors and demonstrated to
the Navy the capabilities of American
aeronautical engineers and rnanufac-
turers. The ship was put into produc-
ton and now is being turned out at
good rate for active use in the Navy.
The motor. a twelve cylinder Liberty.
WAS modified for the special test at tn,
Washington Navy Yard.
The altitude record made by Lieut..
Irvine with the heavy load further
proves the efficiency Of the torpedo
plane, for its duty in actual combat is
to ge above the clouds quickly pre-
paratory to launching its attack. Much
higher attitudes have been reached by
lighter and speedier planes, but Lieut..
Irvine'S flight has not been ATTEMPTED
as much as the spectacular trips are.

short waves have been reported by
amateurs who participated in the
American Radio Relay League short
wave tests. II would appear from
this information that much better
results can be obtained on $50 meters
than is ordinarily the case on 200
meters. the band commonly used by
amateurs.
As the more powerful commercial
stations operate on wave lengths be
tween 1000 and $4,000 meters, the
indication that the most successful
radio transmission will be at the
two extremes. also that the region
below $50 meters Is well worth fur

Condenser Improves Set.

The operation of radio receiving sets
can be improved by the use of a very
simple and cheap condenser connected
across the telephone receivers and a
similar one connected in series with the
antenna. according to the bureau of
standards. Longer waves can be re-
ceived by the use of q simple type of
loading coil. The coil Is particularly
useful in connection with single cir
cult receiving sets.
The auxiliary condenser, which is
used in series with the antenna. and
the loading coil may also be used when
the crystal detector is replaced by an
electron tube detector unit, or when an
amplif1er Is added to the receiving set,
The condenser used in series with the
antenna makes it convenient to tune to
wave lengths less than 800 meters The
condenser used across the telephone re-
ceivers increases the intensity Of sig
nails which are received from some
radio stations. The loading coil en-
ables the equipment to respond to wave
lengths above 500 meters. Up to about
5000 meters Time signals from high
power stations can thus be received.
The use of the loading coil also in
creases the receiving distance Of the
equipment. because many of the higher
power stations use longer waves
All these features are fully described
in circular No. 1877 of the bureau Of
standards, which is the fourth of a
series dealing with construction of a
very simple radio receiving set, and
may be obtained from the superin-
tendent of documents, government
printing office. Washington, d. c., at
five cents copy.
