condensers are present in this cir
cult.
The Antenna Circuit.
In the antenna circuit the antenna
wire acts as one plate of a condenser
and the ground as the other plate of
a condenser, thereby forming with
the antenna coil q complete radio cir
cult consisting of condenser in
series with the coil. There is also
another condenser effect present in
the coil itself and known as the con-
denser effect of the distributed
capacity of the coil. In this case the
adjacent turns of wire of the coil
act as plates of condensers so that
| there Is a capacity effect across the
coll similar to that which would OBJ
tain If condenser of an equivalent
lump capacity were connected across
the coil.
In the grid circuit there are also
condenser effects which are not ap-
parent at first sight. You will no
tice that the grid is close to but
electrically separated from the fila
ment Of the tube.
This condition is equivalent to in
serting condenser between the grid
and filament electrodes of the tube.
There is also a condenser effect In
the coil produced in the same way
as was explained In connection with
the coil in the antenna circuit.
Can't Vary Constants.
You will notice. however, that there
is no provision for varying the con-
stants OF the two circuits since the
coils in both cases are fixed coils
with no means Of changing the num-
ber Of turns of the coil in the cir
cult
With such a circuit it is only pos
sible to listen to a particular sta
tion sending on the wave length to
which the particular inductance and
capacity constants of the receiving
circuit will respond.
Even then the circuit can be used
only IL the grid and antenna circuit
constants are such that they are
in tune or approximately tuned TO
each other.
II the constants of the two circuits
are very different from each other,
the circuit is absolutely useless as
far listening to a station is con-
cerned, because 1t will not respond
TO the signals.
The next step, therefore, in the
design of grid and antenna circuits
is to add the refnements which make
1t possible to vary the constants of
the circuit so that the circuit can
be adjusted to the proper point for
signal reception.
The way in which this is done will
be explained in tomorrow's article.

PLAN SEARCH BY RADIO

PITTSBURGH. Pa. December "a
An effort will be made tonight by
three American radio stations to get
in touch with members of the Nutting
expedition, lost in the Arctic wastes
for four months.
Stations kDkA, East Pittsburgh; !;
WRZ, Springfield, Mass, and kYw.
Chicago, will radiocast a special mes
sage, addressed to inhabitants of the
Arctic region, asking for news of the
Inflated expedition.
The Nutting expedition. organized
by William Nutting to follow the
course taken by the Vikings in their
daring ventures to the North Ameri-
can continent, left Denmark on Sep
tember s. last, bound for Battle Har-
Dor. Labrador. Nutting was accom-
panied by Arthur HiIdebrand, John
Todahl and Mr.. Fleischer. Their
ship, Lief Ericsson. has not been
heard of since ii passed the southern
Greenland coast. Government cruisers
and airplanes have conducted a fruit
less search for the expedition
The effort to obtain news of Nut
ting and his party by radio was de-
ferred until this time, when trappers
from the remote Arctic regions make
their pilgrimages to the trading stations
1t is hoped that these posts, equipped
with wireless receiving sets, will com
municate the message to the trap
pers who may have some word of the
lost men.
