PunctuaI Monarch

All the clocks at the loyal estate at
Sandringham for more than half a
century have been kept half an hour
in advance of standard time. The idea
was introduced by the late King Ed
ward VII when he was Prince of
Wales, and was borrowed from a
neighbor, the late earl Of Leicester. to
whom at Holkham, in the early days
of their married life, the then prince
and princess of Wales were frequent
visitors. 1t was the earrs custom to
keep all the clocks at Holkham half
an hour fast to secure punctuality.
So punctual was King Edward in
keeping his appointments that he
gained the reputation of never being
late,"-London Mail,

RAILROADS TURNING
TO RADIO IN STORMS
Amateur Solves Problem OF Com
munication for Chicago and
Alton in Blizzard.

CHICAGO. Ill, January 3.-With the
arrival of Winter storms throughout
the Northern states, railroads are de-
pending more and more on radio TO
aid them in dispatching train service
when communication by ordinary
methods becomes impossible. When
all other means fail, radio Is practi-
cally certain of getting through to
the desired points with a minimum
amount of delay.
Amateur radio scored again re-
Gently, when G. W. Bergman, owner
and operator of station 9CA. at
Dwight, Ill, handled important mes
sages for the Chicago and Alton Rail-
road. Due to the heeavy snow, the
railroad telegraph lines were inopera-
tive so Bergman was asked to es-
tablish communication between
Dwight and Chicago. Station 9CA got
ION the air" Immediately, but was
unable to raise" any Chicago sta
tions. He managed finally to relay
some messages through 9AZN, the
station of A. D. Sanial, in La Crosse,
Wis.
BY this means, Bergman got into
communication with r. II. G.
Mathews, central division manager of
the American Radio Relay League,
who warned local amateurs to listen
for Bergman's signals. He also asked
the Chicago broadcast stations
WEBB, WGN and KYW to have their
listeners notify amateurs TO get in
touch with 9CA.
In a short time. 9CA raised" 9AAW
and 9BE, the stations of w. z.
Schweitzer and NJ. II. Romberg, both
| of Chicago. and the traffic for the
Chicago and Alton was then handled
direct from Dwight to Chicago by
means of amateur radio Telegram ply.

SEES IMPROVED PLAN
IN DIRECTING WAVES
Dr.. J. II. Dellinger Suggests De-
velopment in Radio Concentrated
Beams Is Possible.

During 1925 DR.. ]. H. Dellinger,
director of radio laboratory, Bureau
of Standards. believes the develop
ment OF a practical means of direct
ing waves in concentrated beams nj
desired directions should be accom-
plished. including the use of this sys-
TEN at lower frequencies than hereto
fore. This system should also be
adapted to the reduction of interfer-
ence.
Introducing another element of in
reference reduction, he anticipates
improvements in direction finders
and the development of very diree-
tional receiving systems. He also
predicts the utilization of radio
waves of between $50 and Is meters
on a regular engineering basis, to-
gether with an increased knowledge
of the possibilities of these waves
and the mode of their propagation.
Utilizing the higher frequencies,
the perfection of means for relaying
and rebroadcasting may be anticl-
pated in 1925 and adapted TO various
services. Broadcasting will no doubt
take on a more definite form as
distinct service rather than its origi-
nal phases Of novelty and pastime.
he believes, anticipating higher
quality in receiving sets and higher
power IN ~
terconnection and high power Will
give greater availability to programs
than in the past.
Touching on the development in
receiving sets, DR.. Dellinger believes
that a wider use of highly selectlVe
sets can be expected next year and
that progress win be made on devices
for using alternating current as a
tube supply. although batteries give
good service and are hard TO dis
place Standardization in the radio
industry should eliminate multi
plicity of parts and standardlze
transmitting and receiving tubes.
DR.. Dellinger expects to see I'M
provements in quality and speed OF
radio transmitted pictures through
the efforts of numerous investigators
and companies.
In general he looks forward to
progress in many major problems OF
/ radio technique. such as various
! phases of the interference problem
! radio measurements, radio wave IN
. tensity measurement and control, ana
| a reduction of the effects of atmos-
pheric disturbances.

broke all records In communication
10 and from aircraft during the
Shenandoah's recent flight, the work
being carried on with 81 meters for
the Shenandoah and 54,5 and some
times 81 meters for station NkF,
Naval Research Laboratory, Bellevue,
Anacostia, d. G.
IAN average of seven hours eommu-
nication was obtained every nisht
while she was in flight, even when
she was going UP the west coast.
This means two-way satisfactory
communication No such feat as this
has ever been achieved before. The
high frequenCies permit aircraft TO
get greater range per pound OF
weight and per watt of power than
freuuencies commonly used hitherto.
Communication companies Will nan
die an increasing amount or their
night business by the use of high ire
ouencies resulting in the cheaping or
service in the long run-certainly as
soon as the development charges have
heen covered-because the power bills
for these stations are only fraction
of what they1lre for the lgh-power-
ed stations.
i perhaps. the greatest problem to-
day is the accurate regulation OF fire.
ouencies I think this will be solved
by the use or the Plezo electrlcai ei-
feet of quartz crystals. This station
already has set controlled by crystal,
using a 20-kilowatt tube. This would
be an ideal system for broadcast sta
tions, since The crystal, which always
| absolutely determines the wave
length of the station, can be ground
to Just the night dimensions to cor
respond to the allotted wave length
of that station. There is no possibil-
| ity of that station drifting off tune.
! expect. therefore, to see marked
| increase in :he use OF quart crystal
control for steadying frequencies."
