he asked, being absolutely frank about
his ignorance.
They must reach the plate before
any plate current can f1ow," l ex-
planned. You must have plate cur
rent flowing If the tube is to deliver
an output. The variations in grid
potential control the plate current.
Therefore, the grid must work in such
way as to let enough electrons flow
through as to have no control over the
situation, or as to block traffic so
effectively as to choke it.
NO current can flow from the pla @
to the tlament of Il tube unless there

one of the things that handicapped
Smith in his efforts TO get good recep-
ton was his inability to understand
the working of the grid of the vac
uum tube. This action, to be sure, is
largely automatic, yet, by improper
operation of the controls, it is possible
for the operator to stop the normal
action of a tube altogether. Better
results can be obtained by a little
closer attention to the fundamental
action of the grid
To simplify matters for Smith, l
decided to consider the grid of tube
to be used as an amplifier. When
tubes are used in this manner, rather
than as detector, the action of the
elements of the tube is to amplify
frequencies of like kind. That is. a
tube used as an amplifier magnifies
radio freQuenCieS or audio frequencies.
AS detector, the function of a tube,
together with it's grid condenser. is
to make the change-over from radio
frequency to audio.
Whether a tube is used for radio
or audio amplification, or for the pur-
pose of effecting the change-over, the
grid works in much the came way.
At this point, Smith was ready to
see the grid in operation.
He observed that the grid acts at Il
point between the plate and the fla
ment of the tube. ] advised him that
in this position the grid was able
to control the electrons negative
charges as they flowed from the in
candescent filament to the plate.
Smith then noticed the position of
the grid. serving. as it were. as
traffic cop" Tor the electrons. The
grid at this stage of the process was
nearer to the filament than TO the
plate.
Smiths third observation resulted
in the discovery that. in addition tC
receiving current, either from preced
ing tubes or from the tuning arrange
ment itself. the grid usually received
a little current from some other
source as well. This additional cur
rent, he learned, gives the grid an ad
| ditional potential. Here. again. he
was reminded that We were picturinG
! the grid on the job in a tube used for
| amplification.

Radio on Freight Trains.

Further reports on application of
radio and wired wireless to railroad

citation reveal that a new carrier cur

developed for communication between
the front and rear cars of long
freight trains on electrified roads.

ever only when the train is standing
still. Wave lengths Of 100 to 400
meters were used in recent tests with
about 80 watts power over a line
3 miles in length.
The most interesting test was made
on the electrified section of the Nor
folk & Western Railroad. Duplicate
sets were mounted in two loComo-
tives, one pulling and one pushing a
train which was fully half mile long.
BY means of carrier-current signal
in the rails the train was started and
stopped most sstisfa o,orily, both en-
gineers working together. The train

along different lines frequently broad

listen in. The subjects chosen are
both instructive and entertaining, APP

as those engaged in domestic and
foreign commerce.
Whenever an expert returns from
foreign fields, he is urged to tell the
radio public about his experiences
and observations. This broadCastinS
in the interest of American industries
is proving a valuable auxiliary aid to
the head of the Commerce Depart
ment, who IS 50 well known to radio
fans. The talks are planned for the
tired business men, but are most
acceptable to the average fan, since
they take the form of short travel
ogues merely touching upon our great
foreign trade throughout the world
Since the inaugural talk on "Old

f. Epson, formerly commercial attache
at Vienna. Austria, last May from

broadcasts on such subjects as Agri-

cies, or potential variations, applied to
the grid are comparatively weak, but
they control the comparatively strong
plate current. The action is just like
relay in a telegraph office. The click
ing of the telegraph sounder in the
railroad station is not the direct result
of the operation of a key at the other
end of the line. The current to oper
ate the sounder in the station Is pro-
duced by a local battery. When the
key is operated at a distant station
a relay that resembles. an electric
buzzer is brought. into action. It's
armature is closed when the key and
current are closed. A spring opens it
when the current is not closed. Now
then. the relay armature itself makes
and breaks the local circuit which is

powerful enough to operate a sounder.
That clicks off the message.
THE grid works on the same princi-
pie. 1t is charged alternately posi-
lively and negatively, and IS in po-
sition where it can control the plate
current circuit SO that the original
values, or variations, are not lost in
the change over. You can readily see
that much of the success of this proc
ess depends upon the potentials ap-
piled to the grid and plate as well as
to the voltage applied to the filament.
