Radio Education

The New York Board of Education
has a special radio committee to take
charge of the educational work the
department is doing through radio
broadcasting. This committee is in
charge of a program from WIZ be-
tween and 2:30 each afternoon, when
the listeners are told about the work
of the schools and their plans.

New Instrument Combines Both Out
fits in Period Model Cabinet.

An instrument that combines
radio outfit and a photograph is the
latest innovation in the radio field.
The instrument is designed and
built like cabinet period model phon-
ograph. The radio set is constructed
in one side of the cabinet while the
photograph is built on the other side
along with a loud speaker, which
serves for both. BY pulling out a
lever the switch is made from radio
to photograph.

H AYTON. Ohio, April 4-Figh
I'D above the clouds, out of sight
- of land, yet bound for a
definite destination. airplane pilots in
the future may thus be guided by
radio.
The promise is made through OBJ
servation OF recent tests conducted
here with radio beacons and other
instruments by which aviators were
enabled to fly across country with
mt a landmark to guide them.
Not long ago. Lieut.. z. II. Banks
dale and Instrument Engineer Brad
ley Jones. flew from McCook Field
hero, direct to Mitchell Field, New
York. a distance Of 575 miles. in less
than four hours and did not see land
three-fourths OF the wayi
Two important mechanical instru-
ments figured in this feat.
But more recently another flight
was made over Dayton high above
the clouds. and a system of radio
signaling was responsible for the
pilots guidance.
Combination of both methods of
airplane guidance above sight Of
land may be the outcome of further
tests with both sets Of instruments.
On Long Flight
The purely mechanical instruments
used in the Dayton-New York flight
consisted Of an "earth induction COM
pass" and an "inclinometer"
The earth induction compass is a
small cylindrical affair with propeller.
which is attached to the rear of the
plane to remove 1t from magnetic iu-
fiuence and which controls an indica-
tor on the instrument board in front.
The inclinometer is the eyes of
the airplane,' telling the position Of
the ship in straight flight, the course
it takes in a bank and the fore and
aft inclination of the plane.
Before he goes up, the fiier's course
is predetermined. the distance to desti-
alton is carefully figured and the de-
gress necessary to keep the pilot on
his course painstakingly calculated.
All the pilot has to do is keep the
compass needle at zero ard watch the
Indicator showing the number Of miles
he has Travelled. When the required
distance is covered, the aviator noses
the ship downward and lands where
ne had planned"
Signal Device
The radio beacon is another step
in the same direction.
BY use of this instrument, the avi-
ator receives definite signals by which
he can tell whether he is running true
to his course. The letters A and 7
were repeated over and over in the
recent test flight.
AS long as the aviator flew over
the correct course both letters were
equally loud But as soon as he
swerved OF, one letter became louder
than the other and by this difference
he knew which way to turn to get
back.

BUILD OF
NEW SET
SIMPLE
Outfits of Future viii Probably
Be of Three-Tube
Design,
BY ISRAEL KLEIN
Times Radio Editor


HE receiving set Of the future,
| say prominent radio engineers,
- will be a simple three-tube out
fit-perhaps single radio and single
audio frequency application, or just
double audio frequency amplification.
Therefore, the fan who plans such
a receiver for his own use is certain
to enjoy an outfit that will last
through the various stages of changes
and improvements now being expert
enced in radio. The ultradyne, the
mOnodyne. the pltodyne and many an.
other "dyne" may come and go, but
there can be little doubt about the
survival of the simple three-tube re.
ceiver
Therefore. for the beginner,
single.tube receiver is the safest bet.
Then, If he wants more distant re-
ception and use Of a loud speaker, the
next logical step is a two-stage am
plifer. 1t is hardly worth while add.
ing only one step Of application, be-
cause 1t would still be ineffective for
the application of loud speaker.
Parts Required
Hoole-up diagram and layout Of a
typical two-stage audio amplifer are
given here.
Parts for the amplifier, cabinet
alone are:
| Two audio frequency transformers,
low ratio. about Az to 1.
] Two rheostats, 90 ohms each.
Two double-circuit Jacks.
One single circuit Jack.
Two tube sockets.
Five binding posts.
One dilsctric panel. by II inches.
One wood base, s by II inches.
Bus connecting wire.
| The single-circuit Jack may be the
one used with the single-tube receiver,
II that arrangement has been made.
Detector Changes
Following changes should be made
in the detector circuit. for the addi-
ton OF the ampliter
Double-circuit Jack should be put
In place OF the single jacket jack. or
the two phone connections.
The two inner connections OF the
detector jack should be connected TO
the primary or the first transformer.
One of the outer connections of the
reflector jack goes TO the plate OF the
| detector tube The other connection
goes to the 2215 volt tap Of the B
battery.
Other connections In the detector
circuit remain the same.
other Connections
A 45-volt B battery is required to
take care OF the amplifer tubes. both
ampnfer Jacks being connected to the
45-volt positive end. The rheostats
and negative II of the transformer
secondaries are Joined 10 the negative
OF the A battery.
The second double-circuit jack is
attached between the first and second
stages of application The outside
| connections Join with the plate of the
| first amplifier and the positive 45-volt
tap of the b battery. The inside con-
nections go to the p and B-plus
binding posts OF the second trans
! former.
| Transformers must be placed at
| right angles to each other.
UV201-A or C301-A vacuum tubes
may be used on this amplifier and Il
| 20-ohm rheostat with each.
Tuning is accomplished just as
| though there were no amplifer to the
| detector circuit. except for the ad-
/ justment of the ampliier tubes to
their highest efficiency by means OF
the rheostats.
This amplif1er allows for use OF a
loud speaker for local broadcasting
and DIX stations up to 1000 miles.

Arbeiter Ring Gives
Large Opportunity
to Workers Party

The members Of the Workers Party
who are active in the Arbeiter Ring
(Workmen's Circle) which has
membership Of about 1000, find in
that organization an immense field
Of activity. The Workmen's Circle,
IL is true, is not an organization thru
which the economic or political strug
gle can be fought out, it is simply
a mutual aid organization, but on the
other hand it offers immense pos
sibilities for conducting extensive
propaganda and work Of enlighten-
ment on both economic and political
fields.
II is not true, as many comrades
think, that the Workmen's Circle Is
composed mainly Of lower middle
class elements Only the Leadership
ia lower middle class, and that Is 80
much the more reason why Workers
Party members can do good work in
counteracting the lower middle class
influence which is exercised from the
top upon a membership consisting
mainly Of real workers.

N OVA SCOTIA'S
2-SHIFT SYSTEM
HIT BY PROBERS
Steel Lords Policy Is
Attacked
By RICHARD A. SCHAEFTER
Especial TO The Daily WOrker)

A1bNtAAA ~ Aue Oahy WofheNl
OTTAWA, Canada, Feb. 25.-Even
the good citizens" in Canada were
shocked when during last years min
ers' and steel workers strike the
facts came out about working con-
ditions still in vogue in the pits and
plants Of the British Empire Steel
Corporation. A royal commission was
formed under the presidency Of DR..
j. w. Robertson, to investigate the
industrial unrest" in Cape Breton
and to propose such changes as
would be sufficient ito establish a
mutual understanding between en-
ployes and employers" The report
Of the commission is just published
and is condemnation of the Brit
ish Empire Steeps treatment of the
workers.
Condemns 2-Shift System.
Last years strike action Of the
steel workers was mainly directed
against the slow death system which
under the heading Of "13 light, II
night" became famous all over the
world since Bethlehem Steel invented
the modern kind Of medieval dungeon.
The commission in its report de-
mands:
l. Elimination of the 24-hour
change-over period and the abolition
of the seven-day week.
2. Adoption of the three-shift
plan (eight hours per shift in the
departments of continuous process
and maximum of ten-hour day
for other workmen.
The usual custom of Besco as well
as Of other corporations big and small
to keep the wages as low as pos
sible, even in fat years, and to attempt
new cuts in periods of trade depres-
sion. thus trying to keep up the
profits for the shareholders by piling
the burden Of lean times on the
weaker shoulders Of the workers. was
criticized in the report. It recon-
mended that surplus fund should
be established to tide the workers
over when changes in wage rates are
unavoidable and when no prospect
Of further employment exists. For
the enforcement of this point a GER
tain civil authority should be nomi-
mated and empowered to investigate
the business conditions.
Too Much Militia.
There was no disturbance of claw
and order" in the Cape Breton strike
last year until provincial police and
troops were shipped to the strike
region. And the only cases of 'the
rule Of the mob" were created by
the provocations Of those govern
mental thugs. Evidently the COM
mission held the opinion that in the
shipping of militia the provincial
government overdrew its account of
civil power. A change of the Cana
dian militia act is suggested to such
an extent that henceforth only a
judge and the attorney general Of a
province jointly should be allowed to
call out the militia and that one week
thereafter an inquiry may be made
into the circumstances which caused
the use of troops.
Altogether the report, tho far from
suggesting a real solution Of the
problems in question, which, of
course, cannot be settled by way Of
reports and negotiations and talk, it
is at least an attempt to approach
the Cape Breton labor situation from
another point of view than that of
Besco and its paid hehehmen.
