ADVENTURES OF A BROADCASTER
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE,
Radioscribe.
Sweet Are the Uses of Adversely

That stinging uppercut I received
the other day has evoked a counter.
blow that 1 am not going to dodge.
From Louis Varnum Woulfe, Ills o
street, this consoling missive arrives
For one who has enjoyed your
air talks and been enlightened
thereby, I am chagrined TO dis
cover by Tuesdays Star static"
in the audience. Miss Vivian West
has stepped into the limelight as a
belligerent. The "radioscribe" is
entitled to a goodwill send off-not
the epithets of an ill-tempered
mind. 1t is an odd commentary on
public service to come within hear
ing of a discordant voice, particu-
larly when effort to please has been
consecutive, progressive and fore
most. On reflection. / am conf
dent that this out-oftune writer
will realize that the attack" is
not justified. My own thought is
that a readjustment of the cats
whiskers and prompt correction
of the mental perspective are the
best prescriptions for the ailment;
probably not now the most pleas
ant to taste. but highly efficacious
TO all-around poise of thought.
Personally, l would like to realize
that the round-trip ticket is care
fully padlocked throughout the
Western journey, and thus insure
return TO the air in the Fall for a
continuance Of your always enter
tanning discourses.
Friend ahoy. Farewell, Farewell,

The Factors Which Determine Audi
Frequency Transformer Efficiency.
Part 1.

Audio frequency transformers De
long to the class Of radio apparatus
that must be bought on faith rather
than on mechanical inspection TO de-
termine its efficiency.
The only thing you can tell about
a. transformer by looking at it is
whether or not its looks satisfy your
esthetic sense. You can readily tell
whether or not it is going to improve
or spoil the appearance of the set,
but that is about as far as you can go.
In most cases it is necessary to
take the manufacturers word for
electrical characteristics of the in
struments. and there you have in
nutshell the reason that prompts you
to buy or reject the instrument-the
manufacturers reputation for telling
the truth and for putting out a reli-
able line of merchandise.
Hint on Transformers.
REGARDLESS of whether or not it is
possible for YOU to tell the difference
between a good transformer and a
poor one merely by inspecting 1t. 1t
will do you no harm to know the fac
tors which enter into the design of a
good transformer and also the charac-
teristics which stamp a transformer
as good or bad.
The essential function of a trans
former is to give the greatest amplih-
cation with the least amount of dis
tortion. An audio frequency trans
formers job is to take the undirec-
tional current flowing in the plate
circuit of a detector or amplifier tube
and, by means of it's transformer ac-
ton. produce an alternating current
in the grid circuit of the next tube
capable of affecting the plate current

law TO SAFEGUARD
RADIO VOICES SEEM
Commerce Department Max
ing Study of Legislation
Fixing Definite Program.

After two years of laissez -faire
policy in regard to radio broadcast
ing, 1t is becoming more and more
apparent that this year will witness
the drafting of the first definite pro-
gram of legislation designed to regu-
late the ether lanes and safeguard the
voices of the air"
1t is an open secret that officials of
the Department of Commerce, after
permitting the rapidly growing and
ever-changing thing called broadcast
ing to have its own way for the time
being, are now studying the situation
carefully, convinced that stabilization
has reached the point from which the
future of radio can fairly well be
discerned.
Expect Decisions by September.
There are two main points on which
decisions VIII be made by September.
when the fourth annual radio confer
ence convenes in Washington: First,
the question of whether the radio leg
1slatlon shall be intruSted to the care
or the Department OF Commerce or
10 some outside commission: second.
there is the question of what and
how much legislation is needed to
regulate the ether and at the same
time preserve the American policy of
ieeuOHl OF the air.
There is little likelihood that Secre.
tary Hoover would under any circum-
stances desire the mixing of radio
legislation with the Department of
Commerce activities, and it is with
this in mind that leaders in the radio
world expect some suggestions in the
near future of either a broadcasting
car or a national broadcasting
commission
Second Point" Discussed.
On the second point it is believed
that the Legislative program will con-
nne itself largely to reasona BILE re-
Strictions as TO the number of broad
casting stations that shall be licensed
and. possibly. definitions Of what
power shall be used and the conditions
under which 1t is used
Whatever form this first legislativ
program takes, it is a foregone con-
clusion that it will be flexible enough
to take care of the growth of the
broadcasting field in the future and
VIII In no way provide for censorship
of material to be put on the air
Whether or not the coming radio
season will witness any great change
in the manner in which broadcasting
and radio is cared for by the Govern
ment remains to be seen. 1t is gen
orally conceded. however, that the
governmental radio bureau will not
always be constituted in a section of
the department directly under the
Bureau of Navigation.
1t has been announced that an in
creased appropriation for the section
will be asked at the next session of
Congress, and with the additional
funds it is planned to increase the
field personnel which at present is
insufficient to police the ether salts
factorily.

of the next tube through its action on
the grid OF that tube.
Since the vacuum tube grid is a
voltage-operated element-that is. the
degree of change of the voltage on
the grid of the tube is what produces
the changes in the plate current of the
tube-it would seem logical that
transformers should be made with a
| high ratio between primary and sec
ondary WindingS, so that the voltage
| of the current in the primary winding
| might be stepped up to high value
and thus produce great changes in
| the plate current and consequent
great volume when the electrical va
riations are reproduced as sound by
| the phones or loud speakers.
Transformer Efficiency.
This matter of high ratio as a
| means of obtaining higher amplifica-
| ton holds good only to a certain eX-
| tent. Feeding a person will help to
| increase his size and efficiency. Feed.
| ing. however, will help only to the
extent that it is not overfeeding with
! the consequent ills Of indigestion and
| kindred stomach disorders.
So. also, there is a limit to the step
| up ratio that can be used in trans
| formers, because the use of too high
| a ratio increases the tendency
! toward resonance and will not allow
| the transformer to produce undis-
| torted reproduction of all the speech
and musical frequencies. but will tend
| to cause it to favor certain freQuen
| cies. The ratios which give best re
suits vary from 312 to S to 1, accord
| ing to the special treatment given to
the construction of the transformer
| core and winding.
| Other factors which determine
| transformer efficiency will be eX
planned in tomorrow's article.
