Crystal sets are sold for S5. Privileges

FIFTEEN MINUTES OF
RADIO EACH DAY
Choosing Your Source Of Current.
Part III.
BY JOSEPH CAICATERRA.
All Rights Reserved. Repro. Prohibited.

The battery elimlnator types of cur
rent sources have been gaining con-
siderable popularity of late. These
devices, of which two types are shown
below, have for their object the COM
plete eliminate ton Of the use of the
"B' batteries in connection with the
operation OF a radio receiver.
There are some of these devices
which even go 80 far AS TO eliminate
all batteries and operate the receiver
from your electric circuit entirely.
These devices are marketed under
names which usually convey the idea
of elimination of batteries such as
"B-Liminator": "B. Radicator" Run
A RADIO: IRA MS b. Former; BAL
kite b.; mo Battery; Powder Bee, "
etc.
When properly used in connection
with sets which are adapted for use
with such devices, very good results
can be obtained. especially in the
WAY of reception from local stations.
The only trouble with some of these
devices is that they will not perform
equally well under all circumstances.
The best way TO buy one of these
devices therefore is on trial. A bat
terry eliminator which will work well
with one type of set or in one loca-
ton or district will not necessarily

WORD to Increase Power.

Station WORD of the Peoples Pull
pit Association, at Batavia. H.. has

from 1000 to 5 600 watts. This makes
the seventh 5kW station on the air.

work as well with another set or in
another district and for this reason
a demonstration at a dealers is usu-
ally not sufficient. There is no harm
that can come 10 one of these de-
vices by trial of several nights in
your own home and with your own
set and no dealer who really wants
to sell satisfaction can possibly OBJ
ject to your trying the device in your
own home.
Investigate Before Buying.
Such a trial will readily demon
strate whether 1t is worth your while
to buy IL and since the cost OF such
devices usually runs around $50 1t
will certainly pay you to investigate
before you buy.
The principle underlying the ac-
tion OF these battery eliminators is
rather simple although there are
many problems which confront the
engineer who goes about the design
of an efficient eliminator.
The current from your electric cir
cult must first be changed in its
voltage characteristics to the vaule
tions of the different voltages in the
set in the eliminator.
The first step is the transformer
step in which the main line volta ge
is changed to the required voltage
The next step Is the rectification step
in which the alternating current is
changed to direct current. The third
step is the f1ltering stage in which
the ripples of the pulsating direct
current are smoothed out to produce
a smooth flow of current. The fourth
step Is the reduction or switching
step in which the taps of various vol
tages are produced by means of re
sistances inserted in various leads to
produce the values of voltages re
quired in the different circuits.
While it is impossible TO produce
battery eliminator which will pro
duce a current as uniform as thai
obtained by the use of storage oI
dry cell batteries. the results OBJ
tained are good.

BRITISH HAVE CONTROL.
Reserve Right to Supervise and
Inspect All Broadcasters.

In British India the government re-
serves the right to supervise and in
spect all broadcasting stations, cen
soring them and taking them over
in emergencies. Each station. as in
the United States, must be equipped
with a receiving set. 1t is also re
quired that a station must broadcast
free of cost to the government such
information as weather reports, edu-
cational matter and emergency dis
patches.
The head post offices issue broad
casting receiver licenses. but other
forms of licenses are secured from
the Directory Posts and Telegraphs.
Receiving license fees are II rupees
per annum, 10 rupees going to the
broadca sting stations. The amount
of advertisement in any program
shall not exceed 10 per cent of the
total program time, according to reg
ulatfons.
