The following experiments, while In
volving no new principles or theories,
may nevertheless prove interesting to
the broadcast listener, particularly
when little variety In the evening
program Is desired.
All the apparatus required is two
stage audio amplifier, a single head
phone and loud speaker "a single
phone with horn attached to it will
do for a loud speaker.
For experiment No. l Connect the
head phone to the input terminals Of

manner. (See sketch.) Hold the
head phone with hands cupped around
1t to form a mouthpiece and talk into

reproduced in the loud speaker with
greatly increased volume.

dozen different ways Of amusing him

is a simple way to do this without sub
stituting new rheostats, adding outside
resistances, or changing the appear
snce of the set
Audio-frequency simplifying tubes
are not critical; one control will, there
fore, do for both tubes.

The effect on the audience will be
startling, to say the least.
AS a precautionary measure, how
ever, first make sure that there are
no "hard-boiled hams among the
guests; otherwise you may start riot
Getting back again to the actual ap-
plication: If the audio amplifer is a
separate unit, the connections are
very simple, as seen by the accom-
panying sketch. If, however, the am
plifier Is in the same cabinet with the
receiver 1t will be necessary to con-
meet two wires to the primary Of the
first simplifying transformer and bring
them out to the phone which is to be
used as transmitter.
A telephone jack and plug will sim
plify cutting the "transmitter" in and
out Of the circuit. Use a double pole,
open-circuit jack. This can be left
permanently connected to the set, as
1t will not affect it's operation in any
way, except when the head phone is
plugged in.
If a broadcast program is being re-
ceived and it is desired to interject a
little homemade" announcing, first
cut off the detector circuit by turn
ing the detector rheostat to the
"off" position and then plug in the head
phone "transmitter."
Another similar experiment which
produces rather unexpected results
consists of connecting the loud speak
er to the input side Of the amplifier
and listening with a pair Of head
phones plugged into the second stage
The loud speaker will act as a micro
phone and pick up any sounds pro-
duced near It, These will be ampli-
fed and reproduced in the head phones
with tremendous volume. If the loud
speaker is located In some other part
Of the house 1t will pick up voices
from the same room and reproduce
them in the head phones as clearly
as though the listener were in the
room where the person was speaking.

highly entertaining, If conducted on

2O1-A Tubes Use Less
Current Than Old Style

Thousands of broadcast listeners
who have radio receivers consisting Of
detector and two stages Of audio-fre-
quency application are still using the
original UV-201 tubes purchased when
they Installed their sets. These tubes
have been superseded by the UV-2O1-A's
which consume much less current than
the old-style tubes. Consequently,
when the inevitable change is made to
the new tubes, greater resistance
must be provided in the rheostats.j If

Beef for 5000 People
Roasted BY Electricity

A new and unusual application of
electric heating was made recently
when electrically barbecued beef was
served to five thousand people at the
annual round up and celebration at
Ephrata, Washington. We learn from
Electrical World that four steers
weighing about two thousand pounds
each were dressed and prepared for
the barbecue and roasted in a large
electrically-heated pit built especially
for the occasion. The improvised oven
was 80 feet long, feet wide and
feet deep. Twelve heating elements
each of kilowatt capacity and con-
sIsting Of about 100 feet Of No. IA iron
wire were placed one foot above the
bottom Of the pit. Sheet-iron heat de-
Electors were placed one foot above
the heating elements and foot and
a half above the dehectors were
placed iron bars to hold the beef.
Thermostatic control was provided to
maintain an even heat In the pit.
The meat was first roasted at tenn
perature Of $50 degrees for two hours.
The heat was then reduced to $50 de-
grees and maintained at this point for
four hours. For the next six hours
the temperature ranged from $50 de-
grees to 800 degrees. At midnight the
meat had been roasting for twelve
hours, and the temperature was then
reduced to 200 degrees and held there
for twelve hours until the time of the
barbecue.
