EARLY MAKERS
OF C0NDENSERS
STARTED WRONG
Pioneers Got Away on Bad
Track in Many Re-
SpeCtS.

by Frank Reichmann, II. s., Il. NJ.
President Of the Reichmann Company
We can now begin to see where the
pioneers Of radio started on the
wrong path in great many things.
Take the matter Of variable con-
densers, for example. The early
manufacturers labeled their product
by the number Of plates they con-
tanned, and not by the maximum
capacity at which they were rated.
To classify condensers by the
number of plates is just like marking
barrels by the number of slaves in
stead of the amount of material they
will hold. An eleven plate condenser
may have any capacity from zero
to infnity, depending on the size OF
the plates, the thickness of Tho
dielectric, and other factors.
Broadcasting stations are placed
on certain wavelengIhS and even to-
day the position of station is given
in meters, while actually the stations
are placed at equal divisions of fire.
quency. The condensers were ac-
changes in wavelength. The fire.
quency difference Of two stations on
a low wave may be ten kilocycles,
yet they both may DE located within
a band Of two meters.
If these two stations were located
on high waves and separated by ten
kilocycles the wavelength of the
two might be five or six meters
apart. This makes the lower wave
lengths appear to be very congested
when ordinary variable condensers
are used for tuning. Stations on
the high waves are just as close to-
gether and, in fact, every available
frequency band has been occupied

DAYTON, Sept. 24.-Air mail pi-
lots need not worry about getting
off their course with the new radio
direction finding apparatus developed
at McCook field.
A beacon tower. which sends out
signals to the pilot as he proceeds
on his course and keeps him in
formed as to his position. is being
erected at Monmouth field, Illinois.
The instrument used for sending
out signals from the beacon tower
is called a goniometer. 1t is about
four feet in height.
When operating it sends out sig
nals-one of characteristic sound
that is heard by the pilot when he
Is TO the right of his course, an.
other when he is to the left. A
ehird when he is right on the course.
The signals are received by the
pilot with the standard military re-
ceiving set, and no other equipment
Is needed in the plane.
Airmail Pilct ]. Burnside recently
had his plane equipped with the re-
ceiving set and was instructed by
radio officials here in the use of the
new direction finding system.
McCook field pilots have been u.s.
ing it for some time in fights from
the field.
Some of the fights have covered
200 miles, during which the pilots
depended on the radio beacon sig
nails to guide them back on the
course.

what a potent factor the radio in

Stations are spread over the dial
equally, with stations on the lower
end of the dial separated and the
high wavelength stations crowded
together a great deal more than on
ordinary condenser dials. This
makes tuning easier and eliminates
the need for hair line tuning devices
and vernier controls and helps to
clear up the apparent congestion on
the lower wavelengths.

According to Capt. William II.

the goniometer was developed, it will
be necessary for the airmail service
to have such beacons every 200
