TWO INNOVATIONS
IN RADIO DETAILED
Successful ScrambIing and
Unscrambling of Waves De-
scribed by Expert.
BY the Associated Press.


CLEVELAND, February 2o.-Two
important revelations We're an
nounced by Dr. L. f. w. Alexander
son, General Electric Co., radio ex-
pert, addressing the American Insti-
tute of Electrical Engineers here last
night.
The first is a system of short radio
waves projecting high into the air,
which are not heard until they de-
scend to the earth again. The sec
ond is the successful scrambling and
unscrambling of radio waves.
DR.. Alexanderson also told how
practically all static has been elimi-
mated by the construction of an an
tenna system consisting of two an
tennas 10 miles long, Joined by a trans
mission line.
Long radio waves, such as are sent
out from popular broadcasting sta-
tions, cling close to the earth's sur
face, DR.. Alexanderson said.
$50 long as we are working with
earthbound waves we must use long
waves for long distances, because the
earth absorption Of the long waves'is
conf paratively small" he added.
when, on the other hand we use
high angle radiation with short
waves; we utilize d different form of
wave propagation. These new tracks
in the ether are being explored by
systematic research work, as we'll as
by commercial communication. Thus
a new phenomenon or law of nature
has been established, though we are
not able to give an adequate ex-
PLANTATION. The short wave lengths
give us an almost inexhaustible scale
| or wave lengths provided we utilize
| it to full advantage"
Speaking of the scrambling and un-
scrambling process, DIR. Alexander
son said:
signals from Europe are picked UT
| In Belfast, Me. scrambled together
| and sent into one wave band by a
single transmitter to Riverhead, Long
] Island.
AT Riverhead they are unscrambleo

| through the action of the phone
diaphragm.
1t is possible, however, to use the
phenomenon of attraction and repul-
sion of like and unlike electric
charges as present in a condenser
inserted into the oscillatory circuit
to produce audible sounds by the
action of the like and unlike charges
produced by the action of the modu-
lated frequency current in the cir
cult.
The apparatus that makes use OF
this phenomenon to produce audible
sound direct from the modulated
radio frequency current is called an
"electrostatic telephone"
In this type of telephone receiver
a condenser is used in which one
plate Of the condenser is fastened
riGidly in the frame of the receiver
and the other plate of the condenser
is a flexible metal diaphragm spaced
a very short distance from the other
plate and suspended above the first
plate.
Cause of Varying Charges.
The varying charges in the circui,
caused by the difference in the po-
tentials, which are in turn caused by
the modulation applied to the radio
frequency current Dy the VOICE cur
rent, cause varying charges on the
plates OF the condenser, which in
turn cause the plates to attract each
other with varying intensity and
cause the movable plate to move &c
a greater or lesser extent in step
with the intensity of the applied
charges.
This action can be grasped very
easily by referring to the diagram
In this diagram. A is the fixed
plate OF the condenser and b is the
movable plate. When this condenser
| is connected into u high frequency
circuit the application of a potential
| in the circuit will cause positive
charge to appear on one plate OF the
condenser as shown by the plus
marks and a negative charge to APP
pear on the opposite plate. Since
unlike charges tend to produce at
