Merry Andrew.

The sobriquet originally was con.
ferred upon Andrew Borde (1500-
.1549), a learned and eccentric physician
of the time of Henry VIII, who, accord
ing to Hearne, frequented markets
and fairs where a conflux of people
used to get together, to whom he pre-
scribed. and, to induce them to flock
thither the more readily, he would
make humorous speeches. couched in
such language as caused mirth, and
wonderfully propagated his fame"
The expression Merry Andrew" was
afterwards applied to any clown or
buffoon, or, more specifically, to any

In the old days u gOOu switch, Dulit
to stand 80 amperes at 250 volts, was
required as protective device. con-
neCted between the aerial and ground,
so that the aerial could be grounded
While this forms the best kind of
protective device when closed because
It actually grounds the aerial, the
greatest trouble in connection with
it's use is that il is often forgotten, so
that in such a case it is of no use
whatever. The underwriters law
therefore requires that an approved
protective device lightning arrester)
which will operate automatically at a
voltage Of 500 volts or less must be
provided and connected as shown at
A with one terminal connected with
the aerial and the other terminal con-
nected with the ground, as shown.
Extra protection is afforded by
means of switch of the type mem
toned above. This switch should be
connected in the manner shown at >
in the diagram. The switch can be
closed when the set is not in use.
Most people like to use this type of
switch as an added feature because
they can satisfy themselves by mere
ly looking at the device that the
aerial is really grounded and safe
from harm. Remember, however,
that the use of this switch does not
eliminate the necessity of using the
automatic type of lightning arrester.
Two Features Combined.
one manufacturer mas lnSenlouSIy
combined the two features in a
single device, combining the switch
with the automatic arreSter.
Aerial or ground wire should not
under any circumstances be run over
or under electric light and power
lines or in any way such that the
failure of the aerial or of the power
lines will cause Il contact between
the aerial system and the lines.
The aerial, lead-in wire and ground
wire should not be of size smaller
or copper-clad steel. The numbers
are according TO the B. & 5. Drown
& Sharpe) system of wire sizes
The ground wire from the protec-
tive device must be onn6Cted with a
good permanent ground such as water
piping grounded steel structures or
frames of buildings and artificial
grounds such as buried metal plates
or pipes In practically all cases an
inside ground can be used. but in
some cases outside grounds are still
required 1t is best to consult your
insurance agent regarding this point
so as to eliminate any possibility of
trouble
!. The lead-in wire should be brought
into the building through a porcelain
tube or by means of some other ap-
proved insulating material or device.
Under no circumstances should
aerial or ground wires be run within
two inches of any electric light or
power line that is not incloSed in a
suitable conduit
Finally, when your installation is
completed you may set your mind at
ease by notifying your insurance
agent and having the system passed
on by an inspector.

MAKE Good Aerial Instaliation and
Avoid Trouble.
Accidents in connection with out
door aerfals," says an authority on
safety methods, writing In the Ma
tional Safety News. have not occur
red because of hazards of the equip
ment itself, but during erection and
maintenance Of the aerial"
Putting up an aerial system Is a
comparatively easy task If you know
what you are doing: The trouble with
most fans seems to be that they do
not realize that here, az In any other
case. certain rules for installation
have been prescribed, and those rules
should be carefully learned and fol-
lowed when making an installation.
/ The most important safety require
ment In installing an aerial system is
that some form of approved lightning
arrester should be provided and con-
nected between the aerial and ground
IN such way that the aerial Is prac-
/ ttcally grounded, as far as heavy dis
charges caused by induction from
lightning discharges are concerned.
I Parts of Arrester.
The lightning arrester usually con-
sists of two electrodes separated by a
small space. This space is large
enough to prevent much loss of en-
ergy received by the aerial system
from broadcasting stations, so that in
such cases the feeble currents will
travel through the coils of the re-
eeiver, but is small enough so that
when heavy surges of current caused
by lightning discharges exist in the
aerial system, the current can jump
the small gap and will cause ne harm
to the set or to the aerial system.
- A heavy, discharge will jump the
gap In preference to going through
the coil eff the set
The conn ections for such a devics
are shown In the dag ram. In a light
ming arrester two terminals are pro-
vided. One OF these terminals Is at
tached to the aerial side of the in
stallation, while the other terminal is
attached to the ground side of the
system.
