DRILL AT KINGSVILLE
Humble Building Derricks for Two
Tests, the Flato and King.

kingsville, Tex, April 19.-Work
was completed on the new derrick for
the No. / Flato of the Humble Com
pany on Wednesday and the well will
be spudded in during the latter part
of the week, or as soon as the rig can
be gotten on the ground and installed.
This is. the first of the two new loca-
tions made by the Humble Company
last week.
Lumber is on the ground for the
derrick on the second location. This
well is to be known as the No. 1
King.

Drill No. 3 KilIam.

Miranda City, Tex. April 30.
w. Killam has gone southeast of his
discovery well in the Albercas field
of Webb county about 1000 feet TO
drill his No. 3 well. This places the
test almost in the forks of the Heb
ronville and Pipeline roads south of
the Edgington field about three miles.
The tools were being set up Tuesday
and drilling will start by the end of
the week. The No. 2 we'll made a
small producer. 1t is 300 feet due

new STATION OPENS

Radio Apparatus Company Expects
to Have Plant Ready
October /.

new 500-watt broadcasting sta
tion will be opened in Cleveland on
October 1 by the Radio Apparatus
Company. 1t will be Cleveland s
third class E station.
Call letters for the new station
have not yet been allocated by the
Department of Commerce. 1t is
known, however. that it will operate
on a wave band of 800 meters
The studio of the new station Will
be double one, consisting OF one
large broadcasting room and one
small broadcasting room. between
which will be located the control
panel set within glass partition.
The operator, seated within this glass
cage, can switch items on the pro-
gram from the small studio to the
large studio or back again in such a
way that there will be no breaks or
intermissions in the broadcasting.
The larger broadcasting room VIII
accommod orcheStraS and groups,
while solo performers may be located
in the smaller studio, ready to go into
the air the moment numbers in the
larger studio are completed.
The Radio Apparatus Company will
use the tranSmitter of the Union
Trust Company when not in use tor
WAX programs, and programs given
in the Radio Apparatus Company
studio Will be relayed to the Union
Trust transmitter by private tele-
phone wires. The studio of the new
station will be equipped with the
latest model of Western Electric in
put equipment.
The policy of the Radio Apparatus
Company's broadcasting station will
be similar to that of station WEAF>
in New York City and a number of
other stations in this country, in
that it will admit paid broadcasting.
In other words. it will be what is
known as "commerciaI' or toll"
broadcasting station, where broad
casting may be purchased if desired.
This, however, will not in the least
interfere with the degree OF enter
tainment afforded by the programs
from the new station and, in tact,
this station will so farther than any
station has yet gone in Cleveland to
be of general service to the radio
public.

Hundreds of tickets already have
been sold, but there are thousands yet

EMPLOYS YARDSTICK
IN MEASURING WAVES
Technical Editor of QST Investi.
gates Average Radio Motions
With Improvised Equipment.

HARTFORD, Conn, September 10
Although the average radio fan has
been given to understand that radio
waves are intangible things that
cannot be detected except by en-
ploying very delicate receiving in
strument, S. Kruse, technical editor
of QST, using methods first employed
by the famous German experimenter,
Heinrich Hertz, in 1888, has sue
ceeded in measuring radio waves
with common yardstick. His in
vestigation was prompted by the De-
partment Of Commerce ruling by
which amateurs are permitted the
use Of short wave bands below 80
meters. The standard type Of wave
meter commonly employed for such
measurements has been found mac
curate for measuring the very short
waves. in the vicinity Of meters
consequently he used an improvised
method.
This can best be illustrated by
comparing the wave motions set nm
by an oscillator with the curves in a
line of rope when one end is fixed
and the other moved up and down
with a steady motion of the hand.
When two parallel wires are con-
nected to the oscillator, or trans
mitter, and just the right tuning is
obtained, the oscillations passing to
and fro will superimpose one upon
the other just as the curves in the
piece of rope would If a regular mo-
ton were maintained, forming what
are known as standing waves" The
right point in the tuning can be de-
tected by means Of a neon-fil1ed tube
connected across the ends of the
| wires opposite the oscillator. The
tube lights when the wire system and
the oscillator are in resonance.
Now IL sliding Jumper" or piece
OF copper wire. is connected across
the wires, in some places the tube
| will go out; in others it will light.
When the places where the tube con-
tinues to light have all been located
they indicate the points of no volt
age. The distance between them is
equal to half a wave length. It is
| a simple matter then to estimate the
length OF the wave with a yardstick

than 25 miles from a broadcasting
station, the use of a crystal set is
not recommended. One of the SIM
plest crystal detector circuits which
can be used with any degree of sue
cess is that shown in Fig. l. In this
circuit simple two-slider tuning
coil is used as the tuning element
While this makes very simple and
inexpensive set, it is not a good one
to use in congested districts in which
several stations are operating. This
type of circuit is not selective and
the result will be the reception of
two stations at the same time.
The tuning qualities of the circuit
can be improved to some extent by
connecting variable condenser of
about .0Oo25 mid. (about 13 plates)
across the coil as shown by the dotted
lines, but this will not improve the
selectivity of the set TO any great
extent.
A much better arrangement is to
use a variocoupler with the stator
coil connected in the aerial circuit and
the rotor coil connected in the crystal
detector circuit as shown in Fig. 2.
The inductive coupling in which the
relation of the coils with each other
can be changed by turning the rotor
coil considerably increases the selec-
tivity of the circuit so that it is pos
sible to tune from one station to an
other.
The use of the variable condenser
in series with the coil and the vari
able condenser across the secondary
or rotor coil increases the selectivity
and sensitivity of the circuit, making
it possible to get the maximum eff
cheney from the circuit
panel and Dashboard layout with
complete instructions for construct
ing the crystal detector receiver
shown in Fig. 2 will be given in to-
morrow's issue.

The annual convention of the anna

A feature of the convention will

that fans who are located within 25

Before Eolh5 on with the construc-
