RADIO PUTS TOWN
INTO L|MEL|GH1
Bound Brooks SuperpoWer
Plant Heard by 20 Mil
lion Fans.

Radio this week has taken the lit
tie town of Bound Brook. y. j.,
whose population is estimated at
1000. and made it one Of the nation
ally known spots in the United
States.
From early reports of the transmits
sion OF the new superpowered trans
mitter Of the Radio Corporation of
America at Bound Brook, it is esti-
mated that upward of 10000, 900 per
sons have heard the name of the Jer-
sey town spoken into their homes
through loudspeakers and head
phones.
The town was not thrust into the
limeight through any effort of its
own. but because engineers of the cor
poration. after a tour of practically
all the country in a 80 To 80 mile ra-
dius of New York, discovered that a
site just outside the limits of Bound
Brook appeared to be the most suit
able location for a superpower trans
mtter.
Found Ideal Site.
From early tests it was discovered
that the distance between Bound
Brook and New York City was suffi.
Cient to prevent a superpowered sta
ton from having a blanketing effect
on the broadcasting on the metrop.
tiIS, anu hl the same Time the bOufl1
Brook site was found to offer excel
lent atmospheric qualifications for
broadcasting.
1t is not likely, however, that Bound
Brook will continue to enjoy the pub
liCity it has been given during the
first tests, for the future 1t is expected
that the call letters 2-XAR, Bound
Brook, will be replaced by the more
familiar call, WIZ, New York City
but occasional mention that the WIZ
transmitters are located in the New
Jersey village probably will be made
Perfecting Tune.
Although considered completely sue
cessful as a medium for long range
broadcasting. the 50-kilowatt trans
mitter of WIZ is not yet recognized a:
completely tuned for quality broad
casting. Work is being done con
tinuously on the transmitters to per
feet meditation, and it is possible tina
several changes will be made before
2-XAR becomes a regular voice of the
air under the WIZ call letters.
When the station comes on the ali
definitely, it is understood that con
tinuous broadcasting from early in the
morning until midnight is contem
plated by the, program department o.
WIZ. SO far. reports that the station
has been heard at night have beer
received from every part of the United
States, and frequent reports have beer

been picked up with good strength

HOOVER EXPLAINS
WAVE LENCTH ISSUE
Assignments to Stations
Rest on Determining Broad
cast Ranges, He Says.

The ultimate clearing up of the
question of assignment of wave
lengths to broadcasting stations lies
In the determination of the exact,
actual broadcasting ranges of all the
stations now on the air. This, 1t was
learned today, is the belief of Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover, and the de-
partment to learn these exact ranges
will ask an increased appropriation
from Congress for the radio inspec-
ton service.
When once it is learned over what
distances the stations as they are
equipped today can be expected to
give adequate service. and the extent
to which increased power will length
Ell that range, officials of the depart
ment believe they can assign wave
lengths with little fear of interference
between stations.
Should the increased appropriation
be allowed, an extensive study of
boardcasting ranges will be begun and
the data will be collected for use in
coming all the stations. 1t is planned
to use in this Connection fleet of lab
oratory trucks similar in design to
that now maintained in the Great
Lake district, which, in the absence Of
an increased appropriation by the last
! Congress, was bought and equipped
through SdcTltlceS mace IN the SdldTles
and other expenses of the radio sec
ton of the department.
These laboratory trucks are mobile
and equipped to determine the causes
of all interference. as well as to check
the field intensitieS of all broadcast
signals. Through their use, it would
| be possible to determine the ranges of
all the stations now on the air, with
power now used and probable ranges
! that would result from increased
/ power.
Secretary Hoover hopes that ulti-
mately the system of broadcasting
stations will include just as many
| plants as con be heard without interior.

Specia Dispatch to The star
GREAT BEND, Kans., December 10
Amateur radio, through the station
of J. +. Evans of this town, 9ECL,
has finally linked up the center of
the North American continent with
the Antarctic. Working at 80 am,
central standard time. the Kansas
station, an official relay station of
the American Radio Relay League.
established communication with ship
station ACE, aboard the Norwegian
whaler Sir James Clark Ross, at a
time when the ship was held fast in
an Antarctic ice pack at latitude SO
degrees south and longitude IT'S de-
greeS east.
The Kansas station first linked up
with the ship in the Southern ice
pack November 10. 1t took almost
an hour and half for the two sta
tons to clear their signals to a point
where they were easily understand
able. once this was accomplished
further communication was easy. Since
that time the Kansas station has
been keeping a steady schedule with
the ship, taking letters and messages
from the vessel and it's crew to friends
and agents in this country as well as
other parts of the world.
At a later day the ship informed
Mr.. Evans that it had broken its way
clear of the ice-pack and was slowly
steaming southwark toward the Ross
Sea

and "ViSion" Experiment
Coming This Winter.

European programs and the long
range transmission of radio vision, %
probably will be postponed until after
the first of the year, it was learned
today.
Intensive laboratory work has been
done in preparation for resumption of
radio rebroadcasting from London by
the Radio Corporation Of America, in
preparation for demonstrations this
month, but II is not likely that the
programs would be heard for at least
another 80 days The new super
power transmitter at Bound Brook,

will be used.
1t has not yet been decided whether
Germany or England will be heard in
the first of the international programs,
but the chances favor England, whose
new superstition at Daventry is now
in use.
Plans for the promised demonstra-
ton of the transmission of moving"
pictures over a distance of at least
200 miles are still in the formulative
stage and will not be completed until
some time in January. or later.
DIR. G. Francis Jenkins, inventor of
the radio vision apparatus, will con-

THE PRINCIPLES UNDERLYING
TRANSFORMER ACTION, Part III.

One of the most important charac-
teristics of a transformer is it's abili-
ty to change a pulsating direct cur
rent into an alternating current. This
important characteristic is used in
vacuum tube circuits to change the
pulsating direct current in the plate
circuit of a tube into an alternating
current capable of producing the con-
trolling action on the grid where the
change from negative to positive val
ues Of the grid's operating point is
used to control the current flowing in
