able capacity between the windings
and is therefore unsuitable for radio
work in which the capacity of the
coils must be kept as low as possible
Various means have been used to re-
duce this capacity, such as special
forms of winding and methods of
separating the different windings
from each other.
In the design of electrical appa-
ratus. and particularly radio appa-
ratus. it is important to be able to
calculate the inductions Of the va
riouS types of multilayer coils
Formulae for the inductance of SIM
pie types of multilayer coils have
been derived by number of sci
entists, and it has been found that
for the special types of low-capacity
windtngs employed in radio work the
same formulate apply az for a simple
section, provided that an appropriate
correction is made for the space &C.
cupied by the insulation. These
formulate, however. are complicated
computation is tedious. Further
more, there are several different
formulate each one suited TO some
particular type of coil, so that the
engineer may find it difficult to select
the formula best suited to his particu-
lar problem. Methods having for
their object the avoidance of these
difficulties have been in use for some
time, but none of them allow an &C
curacy greater than / per cent at the
best, and in some instances the use
of such approximate formulate gives
only a very rough degree of accuracy.

reau of standards, Tables for the
Calculation of the Inductance of CIR
cular Coils of Rectangular Cross Sec
tion,' which may be obtained from
the superintendent OF documents,

ton, D. c., at 10 cents a copy. gives
tables which have been carefully CAL
culated, by means of which the in
ductance of multilayer coils may be
quickly and accurately computed by
the simplest of mathematical opera
tions
The values in the tables are correct
to l part in 10000. The necessity for
long and tedious computations di-
rectly from complicated formulate and
for selecting the most suitable
formula for a given case are thus
avoided. The formulate on which the
tables are based are collected for
reference, and the theoretical problems
involved, as we'll as the limitations
of each formula, are discussed. FIX
amples are given to illustrate and
explain the use of the tables and the
calculation of mutual inductance for
certain cases of multilayer coils is
treated.

Contrary to the popular conception.
it is not necessary to utilize extremely
long ether or radio waves to COMMUNE
cate over long distances.
Under certain conditions a 200-meter
wave produced by a station of one-kilo-
watt power will compete in long-dis-
lance effectiveness with u 10,o00-meter
wave produced by a high-power station
of 100-kilowatt power.
Such are the unexplainable vagaries
which frequently occur in radio COM
munication.
Phenomenal or freak" results in
radio. especially on short waves. are
usually obtained during the winter
months and almost invariably after
nightfall
Yet results which can only be char
acterized as remarkable are often OBJ
tanned during the daylight hours and
these results cannot always be ascribed
TO freakish atmospheric or other freak
ish conditions.
That, in a measure at least, they
can be ascribed TO the ingenuity of
American radio amateurs is clearly evil
dent from experiments recently made
by the Navy radio.

5000 miles in many cases. thus consti-
tuting new world record for long
distance, low-power, short-wave, day

Amateur Station Signals.
Among the amateur stations whose

the daylight hours at Pearl Harbor and
whose radio telephone conversations
were clearly distinguishable were the
following: 7SC, Seattle, Wash. CPL

Very short waves. of about 200
meters in length, were utilized by
these amateur stations and il is

ten amperes on the average.
Yet these juvenile waves were ef-
fective in the area over the Hawaiian
Islands after having Travelled across
the Pacific ocean coincidentally with
the mammoth waves of from 10000
meters to nearly 10000 meters in
length which are almost constantly
being given off by high power sta

amateur stations situated in Canada.
The signals from fourteen amateur
stations situated within the state OF
New York alone were picked up.
Those from the station SEQ, situated
somewhere within the state of New
York were exceptionally loud at
Pearl Hsrbor. the signals from this
station coming in with great dis
tinctness at widely different times
during these two nights.
The shortest air line distance be-
tween New York state and the Island
of Oahu, on which Pearl Harbor is
situated, is in excess of 5000 miles.
Therefore this performance establish
es a new world record for long dls-
lance, low power, short wave recep-
ton, even at night.
Test signals given off by the Naval
radio laboratory station at Anacosta
(NOF) on a-wave length of Az meters
during the evening of October rs
were readily copied by the Pearl Har-
Dor station from S:l5 to $3.50 O'CLOCK
local harbor time. The Pearl harpo5
station employed a receiver equipped
with a vacuum tube detector and two
stages of audio frequency amplln-
cation only.
These results were obtained during
the autumn and before the advent OF
the winter months and are an the
more remarkable on this account be
cause all radio waves are more Ell :
fectiye at great distances from their
source during the winter months imam
at any other season of the year.

What is the attraction of this de-
vice, the marvel OF its age, which
keeps these radio fans in their homes

It's what they pick out of the air by
manipulating this little machine. But
does the entertainment the radio re-

for the hours spent each night listen

OF course, those fortunate enough

in on stations in Pittsburgh, Troy,
Schenectady and numerous other
cities and pick up virtually anything
from grand opera to setting-up exer-

The radio fan with the less expen-
