chinery on elastic material, such as heavy sheets of cork or rubber, and finally gets his studio free of noise.
 He then faces the problem of trans- hitting his broadcasting program with absolute fidelity. How much he loses of the original music is one phase of his problem which he solves through the design of equipment which will re- produce all sounds without the slight est departure from their original na- ture.
 An essential part of such apparatus is a distortionless microphone which converts the sound into electrical en- ergy which they make available be greatly amplified.
 Slight Noises
 The amplifying system multipiies the energy from the mcrophone sev- eral billionfold before it delivers it to the antenna system. If accidental noises enter the earlier stages of such an simplifying system, they may be extremely minute and still be suffi- cient to utterly destroy the nature of the sound which is being amplfed.
 To overcome these. the broadcast engineer makes all electrical connec- tions permanent He makes all parts which support current carrying con- ductors of the finest grade of lnsuIat- ing material. and he keeps his ampli- fer system warm by artificial heating so that no condensation Of atmo- sphere moisture can occur.
 To eliminate the influence of nearby electrical disturbances requires diff

ferent treatment He accomplishes this by completely housing the entire system in an absolutely continuous metallic housing. His microphone is enclosed in a metal easing. His ann plifier andd batteries are in a metal lined cabinet and all interconnecting conductors are enclosed in flexible metal tubing.
 Sending Troubles
 There remains the problem of ap- plying his sound energy to the radio frequency transmitter and sending it off without the addition of any noises. When he listens to his station he will probably hear irregular cracking or erunching sounds, or musical hum, or both.
 If the former, some irregularity in the operation of his equipment is talk ing place-mechanica shock, impro- per insulation, or moisture. He cor rects these as he did in the amplifier.
 Elimination Of the hum is a bit more difficult The cause invariably harks back to the source of power.
