No. 80: POtentiOmeter Pointers.

If Smith learned nothing else from
his study Of the "C'' battery as a
means of grid biasing 1t was that no
story is ever the whole story. He had
learned the reason for the "C' battery
and yet when he went to examine the
set that Smith, Junior, had built for
himself no &C" battery could be found.
What do you do for biasing"'
Smith asked his offspring.
The boy, however, suddenly appear
ed stupid. He did not know what
Smith was talking about.
Either somebody's been telling me
u lot of unnecessary theory or I'm
a few grades ahead of you, son." Smith
said. I've been told that in using
the vacuum tube as an amplifier 1t is
necessary to keep the grid negative
as a means of saving b battery cur
rent and preventing lot of distor-
ton. They call it biasing the grid
by giving it negative potential"
Greek" to Boy.
1t was still Greek to the boy, so
Smith suggested that they see the
school teacher who had helped the
neighborhood boys build their sets.
81 want to know how the boys
set operates a loudspeaker without
blasting the grid as in my set and most
of the others my friends have?" Smith
asked.
THE grid of the amplitier tube of
this set is biased" corrected the teach
er, but possibly you are under the
impression that blasting is a matter
to be handled exclusively by a c. or
grid battery. We can do the blasting
with the regular A source OF current
provided we introduce a device known
as DOtentiOmeter.'
Smith was genuinely relieved to find
where this instrument fitted into the
scheme of things. He had heard il
mentioned many times. but failing to
find one on his set had not found
the proper opportunity to become ac-
quainted with il.
A potentiometer. as the teacher eX-
planned. is very much like a rheostat.
II is a resistance formed by a small
coil so arranged that a sliding con-
tact can be made to send the current
through a variable amount of the
coiled wire. Smith recalled from
Ohms's law that varying the resist
ence has its effect on the voltage
available for use after the current
has flowed through the resistance
unit. Obviously either the rheoStat or
potentiometer furnishes a handy way
of dividing voltage, and their opera
ton is so simple that one does not
have TO figure out the relations be-
tween resistance, amperage and volt
age while the instruments are being
operated. For a certainty the radio
fan knows that when the pointer. or
slide, is at one end of the broken
circle of coil a maximum of voltage

Notes of the Stations.

Two new applications for class B
licenses have been received by the
Department of Commerce, one from
Oakland, Calf, and the other from
Boise, Idaho.
The First Presbyterian Church of
Oakland, listed as KTAB, a class A
station, seeks power Of 1000 watts and
permission to operate on 1881 meters,
or 900 kilocycles. This application
will be granted. it Is believed. the use
of this channel being available on the
Pacific coast only.
KFAU Is the new call to be assigned
a new 3 broadcaster. under the title
of Independent School District of
Boise, located at the Boise High
School, The power will be $50 watts
and the wave length 2S2.S M, or 1,060
kilocycles.
The Oregon Agriculture College is
expected to apply for permission to
operate B station, dividing time
with another class B broadcaster. The
definite wave lengths and power are
not announced.

it carefully, you will see that pro-

or coil, and also to the pointer, or
slide. This is to provide a means of
attaching one end of the circular coil
to the positive terminal of the "A bat
terry and the other end to the negative
side of the battery. The connection
at the slide is then run to the grid. =
Smith interrupted to ask whether
the wire from the slide Of the poten-
tiometer went straight to the grid. and
learned that the wire would be con-
nected to the secondary post of the
transformer opposite to that Of the
connection to the grid Of the next
amplifier tube. In other words, the
potentiometer was connected to the
grid in exactly the same fashion as
the negative post of a "C' battery
would be.
w ell, lneH, why IlOl use oIie5 VI
these potentiometers in all sets in
stead of a &C. battery?" Smith asked.
Blasting With &c" Battery.
II depended upon the voltage being
used for amplification. the practical
radiost told him. Voltages on the
plate of over fifty encourage the grid
to become less effectively negative.
and in such cases biasing with &C."
battery becomes necessary. With volt
ages of fifty or lower the potentio-
meter offers sufficient blasting. Obvi-
ously this was the case with the boys
set.
'.To avoid any possible confusion -
added the teacher, 'let me remind you
that a rheoStat may have a resistance
of 60 ohms or perhaps only 6. whereas
the resistance of a potentiometer used
for blasting should be between 200 and
400 ohms. Maybe this little point
will help you when you buy conden-
sers. transformers and other units
which look alike on the outside but
which may be so different that one
will work in your hook-up while the
other won't"
Smith no longer was puzzled about
biasing. He was sure now that he was
straight on the subject.

RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

! With the radio public, and, in fact,
most Of the radio industry, desirous of
,, wedding out a large number of the
OIL broadcasters now licensed, the
department Of Commerce is seeing to
1t that every station licensed is actu-
ally operating. Wave lengths not be-
Ing used regularly may be recalled
and issued to prospective stations
awaiting air channels.
Some owners are apparently of the
opinion that they can renew their
broadcasting licenses once a month
without keeping on the air. This is
far from the fact. A license to oper-
ate a broadcasting station is given
with the understanding that the own
erS actually broadcast-at least once
week-and may be recalled If this
requirement is not met. Just as with
traction companies or public carriers,
radio broadcasting, as a public service.
must function. or the charters will be
revoked in broadcasting, renewal Of
the license refused. Street cars must
run over their rights-of-way to pre-
serve their charters. Broadcasting
channels must be used or they will
be recalled and reissued to another
company or individual desirous of
giving something to the public.
Radio inspectors in all nine districts

broadcasting stations are actually
using their assigned wave lengths.
Where any are found imperative they
are told to keep on the air or signify
their intentions of shutting down. So
many stations have applications on
file for air channels that this survey
is necessary. Owners have been re-
ported who think they can close their
stations for the Summer or Winter
and open up again when they so de-
sire-but if they do, they find they are
without the necessary channels when
they try to open up again. Just be-
cause there is a shortage in wave
lengths. they cannot be held like so
much stock, but must be used in the
public interest.
Broadcasting licenses must. OF
course, be renewed each month or they
lapse 1t Is hoped that, with the ac-
ton of the fourth radio conference
and the radio legislation recommends
ed, that licenses may be issued for a
much longer period. preferably a year.
This would eliminate considerable
work by the departmental officials.
The short period was established be-
cause it was believed congressional
legislation would soon be forthcoming
which would necessitate the renewing
of all licenses, in which case delay
awaiting the expiration of licenses
was TO he avoided.

Radio Assumes Important Role.

Radio has for some years aided the
DEVELOPMENT of international COM
merce, protected its shipping and
served as an almost instantaneous
means Of private communication, but
of late it has assumed a new role
carrying news and events through
broadcas sting. Many of
our larger broadcasters are being
heard abroad, especially tothe East
and South, with regularity, SO that
important speeches Of officials and
savants are carrying our policies and
doctrines overseas; our musicians,
artists and our orchestras are heard
in foreign lands; the proceedings Of
most important national functions
and events, together with news items.
go far and wide through the aid of
radio. All Of which makes for closer
contact with our neighbors and a bet
ter understanding of our aims and
ideals. Similarly, a number of power
full foreign stations are heard by
American fans.
The growing intimacy and respect
between the United States and Argen-
tina Is said by DR.. julius Klein, di-
rector Of the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce. to be due largely
to the expansion Of our radio and
cable services and the resulting inn
provement in the news services be-
tween these nations. This statement
also undoubtedly applies to every
country in touch through our radio
circuits and our privately operated
radio broadcasters, especially Mexico
and Canada. where American stations
are perhaps as popular as the home
stations.
One Of the large outstanding fea-
lures in national developments during
the past fiscal year was the continued
in the application of scien-
tific discovery and research in the
field Of radio and other electrical lines,
according to an economic review of
the year by the Department Of Com
merce.

Mabel Garrison Sings Tonight.

Mabel Garrison, Americas fore
most colorature soprano, and Daisy
Kennedy, yiolinist and wife Of John
Drinkwater, creator of the popular
,lay, Abraham Lincoln" will divide
honors in the seventh A. Atwater Kent
radio concert, broadcast from WCAP
and IL connected stations tonight at
9:15- o'clock.
Miss Garrison is a native of Balti-
more and q graduate of the Peabody
Institute of that city, one of two grad
uated with a vocal diploma. Like sew
eral other notable singers. she start
ed out to become a concert pianist,
but later gave up the piano for
singing.
Beginning her career in church
work she gradually took up the con-
cert until Gatti-CasazZa saw her pos
sibilities and acquired her services for
the Metropolitan Opera. where she
was soon the chief colorature soprano,
successor to Christine Nillson. Nellie
Melba and Marcella Sembrtch. Un-
like most singers, she never studied
abroad, though she has sung in opera
in European capitals and the. Orient.
Her husband, George Siemonn, was
formerly teacher of piano at Peabody
Institute and now plays her song ac-
compartments.
Miss Kennedy is a most popular
radio artist in England, having the
distinction of being the first of the
Queens Hall instrumentalists to
broadcast in England, where she has
played more than so radio concerts.
She also has the distinction of being
one of the first of five feature enter
tainers selected by popular vote for
the great request" night given a
short time ago in London.
Born in Australia, Miss Kennedy's
first musical instruction was received
in Adelaide, South Australia, after
which she travelled to Prague, where
she studied with Prof. Soveik for four
years. She made her debut in Vienna
in 1911, and in the same year ap-
peared for the first time in Queens
Hall, London. This was followed by
debuts in Paris, Berlin and other
parts of Europe, including a tour
through Great Britain. Ireland and
Australia. Her first appearance in
America was in three most success
full recitals in Aeolian Hall, New
York, five years ago.
