4-40 counter-sunk head screws. The
ends of the ticker coil and the flexible

it has been fastened to the ticker coil
with a No. 40 counter-sunk head screw

spider-web coil The end that is tapped
1882 being at the top of the Coil. This
coil is now slipped over the condenser
shaft, the side having the small piece of
panel fastened TO it facing the panel.
BE sure that this coil is mounted so
that the wires are running in the same
direction as the main inductance.
The grid leak mounts are bent and
drilled by figure 4 The material may be
either phosphor bronze or spring brass
as by 1-32 thick Mount fastens to

Preparing Main Panel.
You are now ready to prepare the
main panel. which may be cut to size
laid out and drilled by figure 6 !; shield
used in cutting and drilling the panel.
1t would be best to have your cabinet
ready when the size Of the panel is cut
so that a good fit may be obtained in it.
Having drilled the panel you are
now ready to fasten it to the base
board and mount the instruments.
The base board sizes are 4 in. thick,

The rheostat which is made by
fastening the 25-ohm resistance to
the panel through hole . with a No.

the rheostat arm.
The panel bushing. which is left

questions which probably will come
up for discussion at Secretary Hoov-
ers third national radio conference
to be held in Washington soon after
September Is.
officials of the Department of Com
merce are now in correspondence with
their field representatives, planning q
program of sufficient scope to cover
all problems of radio administration
as it affects commercial, private and
amateur radio activities. Each Of the
stood. has been asked to submit his
views on certain questions and to
suggest subjects for consideration
during the conference, which prob
ably will run at least three or four
ing up specified questions with local
radio interests in an effort to secure
their views before tho sessions con-

with the broadcasting, manufacture
ing, commercial and amateur orEantZa-
tions, reports from, which are now
coming in.
One of the subjects to be discussed
which has hitherto been left to the
electrical industry Is whether or not
the government should interest itself
in Interference other than radio
proper-that is, electrical power and
light interference and disturbances
ia the ether emanating from electrical
apparatus. Electrical power and Light
companies have been making q study
of these problems themselves. Tu

Government, 20 the question OF whether
the department should concern itsei1
with such interference is to be con-
sidered

Tine Civil Service Commission has
discovered that radio broadcasting is
an excellent means of spreading its
civilian personnel needs throughout
the land. Today 81 broadcasting sta

employment of about 10000 individu-
ais a year. This broadca sting in
cludes aerial want ads. expositions
of the merit system and details of
the types of service in the many
Government agencies. 1t is found to
be both interesting and instructive
1t is fair TO assume that many
radio fans have profited by this
aerial employment service, but Just
how many applicants have been at
tracted by the broadcaStS the COM
mission is not in position to state,
as it has $500 local boards opera ting
in practically all large cities, and no
report as to the manner of securing
the prospective employees attention
is sent in to Washington.
This service was undertaken by the
commission about a year ago through
NAA. at. Arlington, which is stiII
used once week. The first announce
ment concerned the Governments
need for several radio engineers.
Many returns came in after the
broadcast, but most of them were
from amateurs and radio fans un-
qualified for this technical work. Ra-
dio has since proved its value, and
the service has expanded rapidly,
especially during the past three
months, to include the 81 broad
casters.
Among the cities cooperating with
the commission through local broad
casting stations are Springfield, Mass. :;
Cincinnati, Ohio; Los Angeles, Calf:
Baltimore. Md; Norfolk, Va; Atlanta,
