FIRST RADI0PHONE EXCHANGE
Opened at Croydon, England, to Make Connection With Pilots of
 Air Expresses.

What is said to be the first radio phone exchange in the world was recently opened at Croydon, England, the point from which the air liners to the European continent take their de parture. according to Consul Linnell.
 The chief use made of this ex- change is to connect the aerial traffic controller, who has his headquarters in a control tower at Gharing Cross, London, with the pilots of the air ex- presses flying between Croydon and the continent.
 The wireless exchange can also con- meet the phones of the airships and airplanes while in flight with any of flee at the aerodrome at Croydon, mak- ing direct telephone conversation pos sible.
 The pilot of each aerial transport is now required to report his position to the traffic controller every 15 minutes, so that the progress and po- sition of each plane is known through out its journey. The controller is of particular value in directing the course of the aircraft in cases of fog and in giving them special directions for land ing

If we must have single circuit tun.

If we must have single circuit tun CTS the thing to do to reduce the ra- diation to a minimum is to reduce the size of the antenna series con denser and increase the number of turns in the inductance. This will give sharper tuning and there will be much less trouble in getting the tube to regenerate.
 In many localities there is great deal of interference from spark sta- tions; especially in the cities on the coast or Great Lakes, where there are commercial stations to handle the ship traffic. These spark stations do not tune very sharply, and even if the sta- tion is located several miles away it is often impossible to tune them out with the average tuner.
 When tuning for a faint station and using amplification there is nothing more nerve-wracking than to have a spark station roar in unexpectedly. There Is little that can be done about this interference. If the station is close change of wave length would do little good even if this were pos. sible. If it is commercial station 1t is doing a much more important work than our broadcasters are, and of course cannot be expected to stand by for them.
