Outwardly, there is nothing to
show that the cars have radio sets
as the antenna is concealed In the
top and the frame Of the car acts
as counterpoise. Each car has q
windshield seven-eighths of an inch
thick, made Of bullet-proof glass.
Two gun racks. on the heel boards
Of the front and rear seats, each

The cars will be In service twen-
ty-four hours q day, and will be In

.BIRNINGHAN'S
TAK|S Plan
RADIO
Sets Would Be Used for Dis
patching and Recalling
Cabs.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July H.
Leading taxicab companies Of Bir.
ningharn may soon equip their
cabs with radio. while some Of the
more progressive taxicab companies
are contemplating installing radio
sets BY means Of which their cabs
may be dispatched.
w. O. Arxinger, Birmingham ra-
do engineer. has been working for
some months on the design Of a
transmitting set to be used for dis
patching taxicabs and receiving sets
TO be placed within the cabs. He
announces that his preliminary de-
signs are now complete and that
they work to perfection.
with one Of these transmitting
sets installed In the central taxi
cab office, and with each taxIcab
equipped with q receiving set, the
central or main office at any time
can reach any one or all Of their
cabs" Arzinger said.
'.And with the use Of these sets,
q passenger may receive an Inn
portant message from the station,
or on any other occasion, for that
matter, may be communicated with, !"
he continued.
Asked il these sets would be
very expensive. Arzinger replied
that they would not. FAN outfit
for the central office will cost
something like 800, while sets for
the individual cars win only cost
about $50 EACH" he said.
Arzinger said that at least one
taxicab company would install the
sets in their cabs before attempting
to market the outfits generally.
"Since / live in Birmingham and
expect to manufacture here, want
the taxicabs Of Birmingham TO be
the very first In all the world to be
equipped with RADIO Arzinger con-

PROPOSED
Preliminary Conferences Also
Asks World Language and
Latitude for Amateurs

The need for an international con.
ference on radio telephony. q uni,
versal language. more latitude for
amatccrs. and exclusive wave bands
for distress and time signals is
recommended IN resolutions adopted
by the preliminary conference for
an international radio agreement
held at Geneva IN April, and just
received by the Department Of Conn
merce.
The preliminary conference. al
which many European nations we're
unofficially represented. Endorsed
the belief that the London conven-
ton Of 1912 ana the Washington
conference in 1920 were nor ade-
quate to meet the present needs pf
radio telephone communications he
tween nations. Urging that q new
conference on radio telephony be
called soon, the delegates look TO
the free development Of this, new
means for popular instruction, uni
versal information and social art
Among tho recommendations In
dOrsed are the following:
That certain bands Of wave
lengths be reserved exclusively for
radio telephony, end that they be
distinct from radio teleglaply
channels.
Reward the Amateur.
Because Of the contributions OF
amateurs to the art, that their
rights be given consideration and
that certain wave bands be reserved
for their experiments.
That the use OF distress wave.
lengths should be exclusively limited
to danger signals from ships and
for time signals.
The conferees further recon.
mended that the League Of Nations
and the Universal Telegraph Union
do everything possible to hasten
the reconvening Of this conference,
making II universal II possible, but
at least European. They invite all
radio telephone organizations to
create public interest and address
petitions to their governments for
the purpose Of urging at Geneva
and at Borne the Fastening OF y
general convocation.

toward an international agreement
in radio telephony and to establish

It was pointed out at the confer
ence that radio telephony spreads

ferent languages, ana that, there.

in America have already undertaken
instruction in such q universal
means Of communication. It is rec
commended that broadcasting sta.
tons devote at least one evening a
week to transmission in Esperanto.
In this connection, the conferees
also indorsed the efforts Of M. Pierre
Correct, of Paris, In forming the In.
ternational Radio Association, and
urged that he hasten the issuance
OF the international technical vocab-
ulary of Esperanto for use in radio

The magnetic rectifier viii be found
impracticable for the average ex-
perimenter to build for several rea-
sons, chief of which are that a large
number Of tools is needed and that
the complete charger costs as much,

charger is also unsteady in opera
ton, makes loud noise or hum,
land requires frequent replacement
Of parts.
The valve type of rectifier, how.
ever, Is steadier, less noisy in opera

the latter type.
