The Theory and Fundamental Prfn
ciples OF Loop ReceptiOn.-Part j.

To understand what makes for effi-
cheney or inefficiency in reception with
loop aerials, 1t is necessary to under
stand some of the fundamental prin
ciples which govern the operation of
this type of antenna. This informa-
tion can then be applied in selecting
the best type of loop for most efficient
results.
Those who understand the action
of dynamo operation know that rotat-
Ing a coil in a magnetic field will
cause current to flow in the coil
because of the action involving the
cutting of magnetic lines by a con-
ductor.
A similar result follows if the coil
is held stationary and the magn etic
field is moved past the coil. If the
magnetic field Is changing I'm direc-
tion or intensity, as is the case when
an electromagnetic is energized by an
alternating current, so that the in
tenslty of flow is changing constantly
and the direction of flow is changing
at each half cycle, the current pro-
duced in the coil will vary in in
tensity and In direction in step with
the alterations of the field
That is the fundamental principle
OF reception with aerials in general.
The cutting of the magnetic lines as
the field passes an elevated conductor
produces current in the conductor
or antenna which follows every vari-
alton of the magnetic field which pro-
duces il.
There is further principle involved
in loop aerial reception which gives
the loop the very desirable quality of
receiving best from stations in a
direction toward which the edge of
the loop is pointing
Let us consider the diagram show

RADIO CONNECTION
HELD EXPERIMENTAL
Talking Machine Manufacturers
Will Sever Relations With
Broadcasting in March.
BY Consolidated Press.

BY ConSoldated Press.
Talking machine manufacturers still
consider their relations with radio
broadcasting as experimental.
Il was learned today that the Victor
company, which opened the new year
with q compromise with the microphone
and offered its most famous artists free
to broadcast listeners, has made plans
for only three more presentations.
These concerts will be concluded the
middle of March.
Whether the company will continue
its bi-monthly programs after that date
will depend entirely on the appearance
of the sales books at the end Of the
first three months of the current year.
The Brunswick Balke-CollenderC Co,
which took the lead in the broad
casting field, is feeling it's way in
similar manner, although a little
more confid emily The first of the
music memory contests, a novelty ar
ranged by the Brunswick people for
broadcast sting in Ave cities, ended last
night. A second contest will be con-
Quoted throughout March with the
Same prizes, offered to the listeners
who are able TO name correctly the
48 selections and their performing
artists
But here also the future is in
definite.
Neither the Victor company nor the
Brunswick company has any doubts
that its concerts have been appre-
ciated More than 100000 letters
have been received at the Brunswick
offices and some $4,000 congratulatory
notes were sent to the Victor com
pany following the first of its presen-
tations.
These letters, however, rank Sec
ond in importance to the salesbooks
in determining just how far the
radio-phonograph tie-up will be
carried.

Al Is
Intensity of Magnetic Field.

Now let us suppose that the dis
tance between the two vertical por-
tions is equal to one-half the wave
length of the incoming wave. In that
case while the crest of the wave is
being intercepted by the left-hand
portion the trough of the wave is at
the rfght-hand vertiscal portion. This
shows diagrammatically the condition
of maximum and minimum intensity
of magnetic field at the two points
The passing magnetic field, we will
say, causes or tends TO cause current
to flow in the wires which IT inter-
cepts, the direction of the current
being as shown by the arrows along
side the wire from a point of high
potential TO one of low potential, be-
cause the crest of the wave Is the
region OF maximum intensity and the
trough of the wave is the region of
minimum intensity.

The lines of magnetic flux cut the left
hand vertical portion of the loop turn
firsG and later reach the right hand
vertical portion. The horizontal por-
tions have practically no effect and
serve merely to connect the two YER
tical portions so that the horizontal
portions may be neglected as far as
the action of the loop is concerned.

Radio Frequency Advice.

Radio frequency and regeneration
seldom work together, for the simple
reason that the set becomes unstable
and extremely hard to handle. Add
Ing only one stage of radio-frequency
to an ordinary regenerative set is
pure waste of time, as the regenera-
ton action is fully as good as one
stage of radio,

the House yesterday the appropria
tions committee eliminated this item,
but approved $4,000 for an interna-

crest at d is greater than that pro-
duced by the trough at Z so that one
overbalances the other, resulting in
a difference of potential sufficient to
cause a current to flow in the wire.
AS the wave travels on, however,
the crest soon reaches the rfght-hand
vertical portion as shown at f, and
the trough of the next wave reaches
the point shown at CT at the time
that a crest reaches point r, so that
