RADIO TO CARRY
OPERA FROM STAGE

Presenting the first broadcast of a
direct-from- the stage opera this sea-
son, station WIZ of the Radio Cor
poration of America will transmit the
entire performance of La Traviata,"
in which Adriana Boccanera, famous
Italian coloratura soprano, Is to make
her American debut. with the Man
haitian Grand Opera Association, di
rect from the Manhattan Opera House
Monday evening.
The performance of Verdrs famous
grand opera opens the season of the
Manhattan Grand Opera Association,
and Is regarded by WIZ officials as
the outstanding musical broadcast of
the Fall season.
The broadcasting is scheduled to
commence at 8:15 o'clock, allowing
the announcer to precede the per-
formance with five minutes Of at
mospheric description and explana-
ton of the plot so that the listeners
will be able to visualize the action
which accompanies the arias and
choruses they will hear during the
evening. La Traviata" is one of
Verdis most famous compositions and
includes many of the best known
operate. arias and duets. in which
Boccanera. will have splendid oppor-
tunity to prove to the listeners the
reasons for her phenomenal success
abroad.
WIS special installation, with
eight microphones placed at various
points in the vast auditorium of the
Opera House. has been assiduously
tested by the engineering department..
since the transmission of direct
from-th the-stage operate performance
is one of the most difficult feats
which broadcast engineers are called
upon to perform.

Another commercial device, shown
in Figure 2, makes use of the princi-
pie described in the first part of this
article. This device consists of a
ballast lamp-that is, a lamp which
has a filament whose cold resistance
is considerably lower than its re-
sistance when the filament is heated
by high currents. This protective
lamp connected in the negative lead
of the Il battery offers very little
resistance to the flow of current, SO
that it does not affect the operation
of the B battery circuit. If the b
battery is connected across the fila
ment terminals, however, the greater
drain on the IS battery causes the
resistance of the ballast lamp to in
crease considerably, in the same way
that the resistance of the 25-watt
lamp is increased with the flow of
greater current, and thus provides the
extra resistance required to protect
the filaments of the tubes.
Detect Short Circuit.
The advantage Of this form of pro-
lection lies in the fact that short
circuit of that kind is easily noticed
by the fact that the lamp lights up
under such circumstances, while it
remains dark while the circuit is
operating properly.
In still another method the Danger
is mininimized by making the process
of connecting and disconnecting the
battery leads a very simple process.
In this method cable consisting of
several connectors, one for each bat
terry lead, is used.
The terminals of the connectors at
one end of the cable are connected
with the battery terminals of the set.
The other ends of the connectors are
connected with terminals of a re-
ceptacle. Another cable is then used
to connect the terminals of the bat
teries with the terminals of the plug.
The plug and receptacle are designed
with guide that allows the connec-
tions to be made only in the proper
manner to connect the terminals of
the plug with the corresponding term
inals of the receptacle.
Once the connections are properly
made, all that is necessary to dis

How to Protect Your Vacuum Tube
FilamentA.

One of the most common causes OF
the high mortality rate of vacuum
tubes Is the tendency among radio
fans to experiment with the connec-
tions of the set without first taking
cut the tubes or disconnecting the
batteries from the set.
Another cause is carelessness in
making the battery connections,
sometimes resulting. in connecting
high-voltage B battery across the
filament terminals of the set.
Although 1T does not take much
time to attend to these details, Mr..
Average Fan, who has considerable
confidence in his ability to handle
tools without slipping or in his abil-
ity to change connections without ac-
cidentally making wrong connections,
often finds that there is many a slip
'twixt the right and wrong connection,
and finds out to his sorrow that the
tubes which but a moment ago were
giving such wonderful results are now
but a worthless collection of glass
and metal.
The demand for some method of
eliminating the possibility of blowing
out the filaments of tubes has result
ed in the development of several in
genious devices calculated to solve
the problem.
Protective Resistance.
One of the simplest methods is that
of inserting a protective resistance in
the B battery circuit, such that the
connection Of the positive terminal of
the battery with the A battery lead,
which would ordinarily blow out the
tube, leaves the tube unharmed be-
cause of the protection from exces
sive currents afforded by the high re-
sistance.
One method of accomplishing this
result is by inserting a 100-ohm nom
inductive resistance in the negative
B battery and for each 22h volt
block Of B battery. If you are using
As volts, use a resistance of 200 ohms;
if you are using 90 volts, use a re-
sistance of 400 ohms, etc.
One of the most convenient forms
of resistance for this purpose is
25-watt, 110-volt tungsten lamp,
which can be obtained at any electri
cal supply store. This lamp can be
connected into the negative B bat
terry lead that is between the mega
tive battery terminal of the set and
the A battery lead. If you are using
one terminal for both negative B bat
terry and positive or negative A bat
terry lead it is advisable to substitute
two terminals, one for each battery
connection, and connect the lamp be-
tween the two terminals.
Several commercial means of solv-
| ing the problem have been devised.
| In one method, shown in Figure /,
protective fuses are slipped over the
| filament prongs of the tubes so as to
