FIFTEEN MINUTES OF RADIO EACH DAY

interesting that I am sure most of
my readers will pardon a depression
from strictly radio subjects to ex-
plain its action.
In it's simplest form. the "Vernier''
attachment consists OF an auxilliar ~
scale SO placed and mounted that its
scale markings are alongside the
scale markings of the main scale as
shown in figure !.
Measurements in this care are
taken between the zero point or end
of the main scale and the zero point
or end of the WERNER scale, as in
The manner in which a "vernier''
is marked off is shown in figure 2
One of the large divisions of the
main scale. which is divided into

This "vernier" scale is then di-
lower scale of figure 2 represents
an enlarged diagram Of one large or
ten small divisions of the main scale
while the upper scale represents the
equal to the length of nine small di-
visions of the main scale. Since the
smaller 'Vernier" unit is divided into
ten parts, each Of its small divisions
will be smaller than the small di-
visions Of the main scale. AS a mat
ter of fact, since the 'Vernier" uni,
is equal TO nine small divisions or g
(nine -tenths) of the large main scale
units. each small division of the
"Vernier" unit is equal to nineteen tbs
of the small divisions of the main
scale.
When the zeros of both scales CO.

scale is Il OF a small division of the
main scale below the Il marking OF
the main scale; the We marking is g
of a main scale small division below

What Do You Mean by Vernierf

1t seems that once a name is used
to express an action or a thing, that
name sticks in spite of the fact that
it may be a misnomer.
Such is the case with the word
'Vernier' when used in the sense in
which it is employed in connection
with radio instruments. The Yer
nier' of an instrument is understood
to be the feature which enables the
operator to make a fine adjustment
or very slight change in the adjust
ment of an instrument, thus giving
a very fine control on the condition
controlled by the instrument.
A "Vernier" rheostat is one which
makes possible a very fine control of
the resistance in a Circuit; a Yer
nier' condenser is one which permits
very fine adjustment of the ca
pacity of a circuit and "Vernier
dial is one which permits the shaft
to which it is attached to be moved
through a very small angle.
Actually, a "Vernier' is nothing of
the kind. It is a special form OF
measuring instrument invented by
tional part of one of the equal di-
visions in any type of measuring
scale. 1t is not an adjusting means
but merely an indicating device for
measuring instrument.
A better name which would de-
scribe what is actually done by the
so-called Vernier of radio instru-
ments carried would be ''micromu-
tator," from the words micro,
meaning Small" and "mutare,
meaning Change" In this sense dc
not confuse the word with the ordi-
narily accepted meaning of the eN-
preston "smaIl change" The mean
ing which the word should convey is
that of a device which permits the
making Of very small change in the
setting Of an instrument or the ad-
justment of its characteristics within
very fine limits.
The Theory and Action.
The theory and action OF a Vernier
indicator or measuring scale" is sc

BERLIN, July 5.-European sing
ers are 10 better than those of
America. The fact that they sue
ceeded in larger proportion is due
entirely to their Willingness and ca
pacity for hard work. So Herbert
johnson of the Chicago Opera told
the writer today. johnson is in
Europe seeking talent. So far he has
found almost nothing sufficiently dis
tinctive to attact him.
The German ensemble production
is superb" he said. They make IL
better impression than we do. The
great thing is that the German
singers realize that strictly speaking.
the theatrical role is secondary.
Hence they are willing to appear
sometimes in heavy parts and some-
times in very simple ones. ] can only
hope that something of this spirit
can be introduced into America. to-
gether with the zeal, which causes
singers to learn all possible parts
which eventually they may be asked
to sing and not be in too great a
hurry to appear in them. We always
give preference to Americans if pos
Sible. The American voice quality is
equal to anything found in Europe,
but the training of American singers
lacks the European thoroughness."

RADIO DECLARED
HOUSEHOLD NEED
Great American Listening-In
Public Glasses It as ''lndis-
pensabIe Service"

NEW YORK, July 5.-Distance is
for the radio enthusiast. The great
American listening public has come
to accept radio as an indispensa BILE
service in the home rather than as
an experimental novelty which de-
pended for it's interest on long dis
tance stunts" The question no long
or is How far can ! reach?' What
program shall | hear?" according to
information made available by the
radio section of the Associated Manu-
facturers of Electrical Supplies.
Many a radio fan this summer
has discovered for the first time that
in his efforts to sweep distant fields
he had been missing the real joys
of radio reception" it is pointed out
by L. w. Staunton, a radio expert.
who is now collecting data on this
situation for the radio section.
Enthusiasts New View.
The enthusiast now realizes that
in many cases the best entertainment.
the most interesting news features.
were being broadcast from a nearby
station, within easy and effective
range, while he. with his ears fixed
for distance had been deaf to the
true appeal that radio made.
Radio listeners in many parts OF
the United States are becoming fer
vent 'rooters' for their home town
talent, and many interesting factors
are likely to develop from this move
ment.
For one thing. the encouragement
thus lent to local talent should re-
suit in a great Improvement of pro-
gram material. For another thing
the general practice of choosing a
program upon merit rather than upon
distance would solve some Of the
serious problems of interference now
experienced in the air.
Summertime Reception Phases.
Then there is also the question of
SUMMER time reception. Atmospheric
disturbances during warm weather
occasionally prevent the satisfactory
hearing of distant stations. whereas
nearby stations can be heard without
difficulty if the set is in reasonably
good condition and the owner Ia
mjliar with it's operation.
"As the attention of radio listeners
was concentrated on the programs OF
local stations there would arise
community interest in singers and
musicians-native sons and daugh.
ters, as it were. The development OF
this spirit would mean great deal
for the Industry as whole and for
the users Of radio apparatus. In turn
local artists would be given an op-
portunity to win public recognition
for their talents, and this might lead
to their success in broader fields. just
as the regulations Of esta blished
artists have been enhanced by their
appearances before the enormous au-
diences offered by radio.
"As an evidence of what community
spirit can do for an artist, the ex-
ample of a Seattle composer may be
given. This composer attracted SO
much favorable attention through his
appearances at the local station tha'
larger stations with q good prospect
of having his works published. Be-
fore he left he was presented with a
watch, a testimonial from the radio
public subscribed to on its own in
itiative."
