Enthusiastically manifest a desire on
the part of broadcasters and listeners
to shift wave lengths so as to i'm

to create more channels in the broad

conference will vote for a reassign-

facilities for the high-class, powerful
stations which have national

No. 14-The ABC of Batteries.

Having connected again the re-
charged storage battery to the set,
Smith came upon the logical moment
TO get line on the batteries in gen
eral. Why batteries at all? why
were there three different kinds for
his set? Why could a crystal set oper-
ate without any?
Questions which had been whirling
around in his head as he tuned in sud
denly crystallized into one big query.
1t was just his craving for learning
the A 3 G of them.
II have never seen so many different
ways OF hooking up batteries in all my
life" confessed this average man who
remembered batteries only by the COM
paratively simple way they are used
for furnishing current for automobile
headlights or for the front doorbell.
ut seems to me that in radio they
hook positive wires to negative, or vice
versa, and get away with it."
You're confused because you are
still putting the cart before the horse"
l told him. "In your crystal set, If
you remember, the detector does the
work of rectifying the extremely high
radio frequency current, but ii does
not amplify. 1t will not operate a
loud speaker, and because there is no
means Of amplifying the incoming
radio frequencies. ii will operate only
for nearby stations.
"In order to pickup distant stations
under adverse conditions, to simplify
| aerials and to hear programs over the
! loud speaker, it is necessary TO use
| electric power. which. at present, is
generally supplied by storage batteries
| or dry cells. Using current for ampi-
| fcation a crystal can be used in con-
nection with the vacuum tubes, but in
| the ma ajority of manufactured sets the
| detecting is done by means of the tube,
electric current being required to
| operate it.
You remember how, in picturing g
! the activity inside a detector tube. you
| observed the way in which the faint
/ incoming current from the aerial is
made To control the strong current
! supplied by the batteries. Now all
you need to know is the part each
| type of battery plays and why
Here Smith interrupted TO suggest
| that we pull the table holding the set
away from the wall so that the con
| nections might be visible. He believed
| in mixing theory with practical appli
| cation. For instance. following the
| leads from the storage battery he
| found they were connected to the SCI
In such a way that the current lighted

plugged in the loud-speaker wires the
circuit to the tubes for the lighting

Since this was the first operation il

Smith frightened at the simplicity
Of it all and followed closely through
the explanation of the difference be
tween dry cells for a. battery cur
rent and storage battery. The former

which used less current, this arrange
ment being preferred by those who de
sire portability. The latter obviatec

DAYLIGHT SAVING HITS

Central States Stations Gain Lis

West Also Loses.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 2.-Eastern and
Western radiocasting stations ap-
parently have lost long distance
listeners under daylight-saving hours,
while. centrally located stations ap-
pear to be reaping some advantage
from the clock changing.
With New York on daylight time,
time difference of four house exists
between the Eastern metropolis and
the West coast. so that the East in
some instances is on the air too early
for such long distance reception,
while the West goes on too late.
Central stations, on the other hand,
assert that they are retaining their
regular body of listeners, and in ad-
dition picking up others in the East
and West.
All the principal stations in cities
| where standard time is observed have
retained their regular transmission
hours, but in cities where the clock
was advanced clock hours are used
for radiocasting. A few protests have
been made over programs of stations
on daylight time, but generally the
change has ,occasioned little COM
ment. the radio fans tuning in
wherever prospects are best.
Lambdin Kay. director of Station
WSB, at Atlanta, said that three
years experience indicated that East
and West stations lose heavy per-
centage of listeners under daylight

a small power plant which could be
kept up to top efficiency at all times.
Now for the b battery" ! went on.
This provides for the current on ths
plates of the tubes. For a multitude
set like this it is necessary to have
current of 80 volts for this purpose.
This can be supplied either by four
2212 volt or two 45-volt dry cells con
nected in series-negative terminal of
one wired to the positive Of the other
or by means of transformer con-
nected with the housekeeping circuit,
generally known as a b battery
eliminator.
Just as you control the "A current
to the filaments Of the tubes by means
of a rheOstat or a potentiometer, so
you control the b current TO the
plate Of the detector tube. But there
is one more current control which in
most advance sets is handled auto
matically. Here is where the C bat
terry figures. When a tube is being
used as an amplifier ii is impor tant
to keep the plate positive and the grid
negative, so that the attraction Of
negative electrons to the plate can be

! this. Its use is complicated. I'll ad-
! nit. but all you need to remember is
| that it should be renewed Occa sionally
when its voltage falls. This prevents

And does that complete the bat

NO. There are some hook-ups
using a D. battery. but you'll be do

regular 18th meridian time between
May 10 and September 80 from MSS,
Annapolis and NPL, San Diego.
Following similar successful trans
missions last year, for Canadian and

possible accurate location OF certain
points on the earth's surface, one of
which was charted as Is miles from
its exact location, the Naval Observa.

ming dual transmission this summer

Alaska and Canada. A party of
United States experts will survey the
western extremities OF the Aleutian
Islands. off Alaska, another field party
will carry on longitudinal work in cen.
tral States. while party of Canadians
will explore the Mckenvier Valley.
Exact time signals are essential in
this work and will be transmitted
from San Diego at o:55 am. daily, and
from Annapolis at 2:55 each morning.
The wave lengths used are extremely
high. so that broadcast fans will not
be able to pick them up. even if they
