Radio the Mariners Friend.

Once again radio comes to the aid
Of the mariner and provides him with
another means of helping him to
reach port safe and sound.
The average broadcast listener thinks
Of radio only in terms of the enjoy
ment which the broadcasted pro-
grams and features bring him. The
mariner, however, on the broad ex-
panse of the ocean looks upon it as
a friend of no mean ability.
Radio in it's uses on land could be
dispensed with without making it's
absence felt to any great extent, for
it's places could be taken by many
agencies which were here before ra
dio made it's official bow to the pub
lie. On sea, however, doing away
with radio would be comparable to
diScarding the use of the rudder.
Practically every one is familiar
with the old trick Of figuring the dis
tance of lightning by noticing the
elapsed time in seconds between the
flash and the sound and multiplying
the time by LOO feet (the distance
that sound travels in air per second)
The same method has been used
to measure the distance to a point
where a gun is being fired.
Basis of Method.
The basis of this method lies in the
fact that light travels almost instan-
| taneously, while sound requires an
easily measurable time to travel from
| one point to another.
The problem resolves itself into one
| of simple arithmetic. Light travels
| practically instantaneously and the
sound at the source occurs at the in
stant the light from the flash Of the
gun is given off. At the receiver end,
| however. the light reaches the point
at practically the same instant that
| it occurs, while the sound travels much
more slowly.
All that is necessary then to find
| the intervening distance is to multi
! ply the velocity of sound (approxi-
| mately 1,100 feet per second) by the
time it takes for the sound to reach
the point after the flash is seen.
This method, of course, cannot be
used over very long distances.
1t is here that radio comes to the
| rescue. The radio wave takes the
place of the light beam as source of
energy which travels instantaneously
to all points. The sound wave is
produced by means of a special un-
derwater sound producing mechanism.
| BY means CT a prearranged system
! of signals the mariner knows when
the radio signal and sound signal are
to be sent simultaneously and is
ready for them.
| The Recording Mechanism
His recording mechanism receives
the radio signal at practically the
same instant that it is sent. The diff
| ference is SO slight as to be entirely
negligible. The sound signal, how
ever, is recorded some time later, the
| time depending on the distance Of the
ship from the sending station.
BY consulting the time that has
elapsed from the receipt Of the ra-
dio signal to the receipt of the sound
| signal the mariner is able I'd COM

RADIO QUERIES

Radio Editor:
Please describe in the radio query
column the difference between audio
and radio frequency transformers
b. E. l..
The audio frequency transformer is
a three-step transformer with a ra-
ito of to l to 10 to /. 1t consists
of a laminated iron core with a pri-
mary and secondary winding. 1t am
plifies the audible signals when used
in connection with vacuum tube
and it's accessories.
The radio frequency transformer
usually has l to l ratio. Some are
wound on small iron cores and other
on air cores. They amplify radio
signals before detection takes place
when used with a vacuum tube.
Radio Editor:
Are any of the broadcasting sta
tions planning to broadcast the cere-
monies at which President Coolidge
and Gov. Davis of West Virginia will
be officially notified of their selection
as the standard bearers for their
respective parties?-Philip r.
WCAP is arranging to broadcast
both of these events. 1t also is like
ly that wEAF and several other out
of-town stations will be linked with
WCAP for these ceremonies.

FANS WATCH TEST
Of CHICAGO IDEA
Municipal Commission Gre.
ated Will Seek to Block
Censorship.

An experiment which will be care
throughout the United States is now
under test in Chicago. 1t is the
Mayors Radio Commission, created
by the City Council and appointed by
Mayor William f. Dever The com
mission has no legal powers, but is
to act in an advisory capacity to the
mayor and the City Council in all
matters affecting radio.
The idea of the commission be-
longs to Frank Reichmann. 1t was
put through for the primary purpose
of blocking censorship in broadcast
ing and the possibility of an effort
being made to collect an inspection
or installation fee for antennas.
The commission, as named by
Mayor Dever and approved by the
City Council, is composed of Alder
man Jacob NJ Arvey, chairman
Charles H. Porter, secretary; Alder
men Charles S. Eaton, Joseph o
Kostner and ". D. Meyering; Maj
Herbert H. Frost. president of the
Radio Manufacturer's Association
Frank Reichmann, Wilson ]. Wealth
erbee, manager of radiophone station
KYW; Frank II. Mcdonald of the
American Radio Association and the
F. r. Goodnow, representing the
Western Society of Engineers.
COmmission's Policies
sion and its objects are set forth in
the following announcement made by
the commission following it's frs
meeting:
1.-The commission is planned, first
to improve radio reception for the
people of Chicago, and, second. to pre-
vent hostile and oppressive regulation
of radiocasting and reception of radio
casting.
The commission will have the ac-
tive and Wholehearted support of the
Radio Manufacturers Association and
through this organization, the bene-
fit of the vast technical knowledge
and skill OF the engineering staffs OF
the various manufacturers. Through
them we will be able to help the gen
eral public by devising and publish
ing various methods of improving re-
Ception.
Listeners Represented.
Listeners, themselves, will be rep
resented on the commission so thai
their ideas can be assembled through
tnelr various oiSdHlEd tloho anu ~ e
sented to the commission for action
Broadcasters, too. will be represented
and from them we are confident W.
will get 100 per cent cooperation.
Another important reason for &
commission is the fact that in the
last few years practically every form
of popular entertainment enjoyed By
the people has been subject to attaci
from monirity groups who seek tt
regulate by sumptuary law every
minute of our lives from the cradle
to the grave. A commission, operat
ing efficiently, can shield the radio
listener and the broadcaster from
these attacks, and can do great oea
TO prevent oppressive regulation"

pute the distance from the sending
STATION by multiplying the speed Of
sound IN those waters by the time
1t took to reach him after he re-
celyed the radio signal.
The only limiting factor in this
method is the distance at which the
sound waves can be detected. The
system has already been used sue
cessfully over distances up to 60
miles, and it is predicted it will soon
be used successfully over even great
er distances.
This device will give him infor-
nation regarding his distance from
the source of the radio and sound
waves. If he is further equipped with
radio compass he can also tell his
direction from the sending station
and thus get information regarding
his location.
1t is believed that such systems will
be installed very soon in all light
ships and at all important turning
points in coastwise and oceanic nav
igation.
