"THE CORRECT. TIME"
Watches Owned BY Radio Fans Have
Hectic Nights.

The watches owned by radio fans
have a difficult time of it.
1t begins about 0 p. m, when the
first stations begin to sign off. The
owner listens to a concert from
WHAS and at its conclusion hears
the little ceremony with which WHAS
announces that correct time. Out
comes his watch and as the "nine
o'clock" comes in over the headphones
he sets his time-piece to the second.
Switching over to Memphis he listens
in on VINO and later gets "the cor
rect time" Perhaps there is n min
ute or two difference from the time
as announced by WHAS and again
the watch is set. Then on TO Havana.
and forgetting there is n difference
between Cuban and American time.
he resets when Havana signs off.
CYL in Mexico City gives another
opportunity for setting the watch
fright" and the process continues
through WDAF, WOS and WBAP
until in the early morning hours San
Francisco and Los Angeles sign off
and give the correct time.
Next morning the radio fan is late
to work because in the excitement of
listening to the programs and setting
his watch so often he has entirely
forgotten to wind it.

basket of peanuts as his applause.
There are 1923 American ships
equipped with radio.
United States army operates 112
radio stations.
Radio waves can be photographed
by means of what is called cath
ode ray oscillograph."
There are more than 5000 manu-
facturers of radio supplies in the
United States,
About $50 broadcasting stations send
out reports of the United States De-
par'mcnt of Agriculture.
United States has twelve trans
oceanic radio stations. 100 other land
stations and 1850 amateur transmit
ting stations.
Eilvesse, Germsny, has a trans
oceanic transmitting station with an
umbrella aerial S25 feet high and
1000 feet in diameter.
Railroad men Ground New York
are appealing to the broadcasting
stations to continue their programs
through early morning for their
benefit
Two st. Louis radio engineers have
invented an inexpensive device which
is said to prevent re-radiation in re-
ceiving sets. 1t can be attached in
less than a minute, between the an
tennd or ground, anu the receiver.
Great Britain prohibits the use of
long Gntennas for reception. Most
aerials in England are 40 feet or less.
As a result radio frequency receivers
are popular for reception of short wave
signals.
Radio listeners are being promised
less interference from he spark trans
mittcIs Of ships operating within the
brOaGcastin5 wave si.gth limits. They
are getting higher wave lengths out
side the BROADCAST area.
If there is a steady knocking or
ticking noise in your receiver, the grid
leak hasn't the proper value. Put a
finger on the grid binding post of the
tube while listening in. If this makes
the signals louder, Their els too high
a resistance in the leak.
Radio listeners in Canada continue
to pay 81 license fee for each of their
receiving sets. Fees for other sets
have been raised. They are $3.50 for
amatur experimenters, $40 for anna
teur broadcasters and $40 for ship
stations.

Simple Two-stage Amplifier
BY ISRAEL KLEIN

The receiving set of the future, say
prominent radio engineers, will be a
simple three-tube outfit-perhaps sin
gle radio and single audio frequency
amplification. or just double audio
frequency application.
Therefore. the fan who plans such
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 pliodyne and many an
other "dyne" may come about the
survival of the simple three-tube re-
ceiver.
Therefore, for the beginner, a sin
gle 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 two stage am
plifier. 1t is hardly worth while add
ing only one step of application,
because it would still be ineffective for
the application of a loud speaker.
Parts Required
Hook-up diagram and layout of a
typical two stage audio amplifier are
given here.
Parts for the amplifier cabinet
alone are:,
Two audio frequenc transformers.
low ratio. about Az to /.
Two rheostats, 20 ohms each.
Two double circuit jacks.
One single circuit jack.
Two tube sockets
Five binding posts.
One dielectric panel by II inches.
One wood base, 6 by II inches.
Bus connecting wire.
The single Circuit jack may be the
one used with the single tube receiver,
if that arrangement has been made.
DetectOr Changes
Following changes should be made
in the detector circuit, for the addi-
ton of the amplifier:
Double circuit jack should be put
in place of the single circuit jack, or
the two phone connections.
The two inner connections of the
detector jack should be connected to
the primary of the first transformer.
One of the outer connections of the
detector jack goes to the plate of the
detector tube. The other connection
goes to the 22Hs-volts tap of the 3
battery.
Other connections in the detector
circuit remain the same.

servation of recent tests conducted
here with radio beacons and other
instruments by which aviators were
enabled to fly across country without
a landmark to guide them. a.,
Not long ago. Lieut.. +. H. Banks
dale and Instrument Engineer Brad
ley Jones. flew from McCook Field
here, direct to Mitchell Field, New
York, distance of 575 miles, in less
than four hours and did not see land
three-fourths of the way,
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 pi-
lots guidance.
Combination Of both methods of
airplape guidance above sight of land
may be the outcome of further tests
with both sets of instruments.
Used 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 propel-
Ter, which Is attached to the rear of
the plane to remove it from magnetic
influence and which controls an in
dcator 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 bank and the fore and
aft inclination of the plane.
Before he goes up. the flier's course
is predetermined. the distance 10
destination is carefully figured, and
the degrees necessary to keep the pilo.
on his course painstakingly calculated.
All the. pilot has to do is keep the
compass needle at zero and 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
he had planned
- Worked Accurately. 4.
I'VE passed through all sorts of
clouds and over all kinds of terri
tory" said Jones in explaining how
the instruments operated on his last
voyage. I'VE flew 400 miles with
never a sight of land.
"As our instruments told US we
were getting near New York, we
watched them closely and by signal
ing. we both agreed at the proper time
that it was time to dive down and
take a look.
As the plane nosed downward we
began to recognize landmarks and
knew that our instruments had been
set correctly and that we had read
them right. Closer inspection of our
surroundings showed us that we had
Owed down right over Mitchell Field,
our ultimate destination"

sthe same direction. .

Layoufs Of the Two-s.age AmpIifier.
A 45-volt b battery is required to
take care of the amplifier tubes, both
amplifier jacks being connected to the
45-volt positive end. The rheostats
and negative + Of the transformer sec
ondaries are Joined to tire 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 Bbattery. The inside con-
nections go to the = and B-plus
binding posts of the second trans
former.
Transformers must be placed at
right angles to each other.
UV201-A or COLA vacuum tubes
may be used on this amplifier and a
20-ohm rheostat with each.
Tuning is accomplished just as
though there were no amplifier to the
detector circuit except for the adjust
ment of the amplifier tubes to their
highest efficiency by means of the
rheostats.
This amplifier allows for use of a
loud speaker for local broadcasting
and DX stations up to 1000 miles.

he can tell whether he is running true
to his course. The letters A and T
were repeated over. and over in the
recent test flight. f|t
As long as the aviator flew over
the correct course both letters were
equally loud. But as soon as ne

than the other and by this difference
he knew which way to turn to get

The receiving set he used was of
