WITH BELL CIRCUIT
Suggestions to Radio Fan
Who Lacks Convenience OF
Outdoor Antennt. e. .s 2

1t sometimes happens that, on ac1
count OF circumstances over which
theSradio fan has no control, It is not
possible TO put up an outdoor antenna
which will be suitable for the -recep-
ton OF .broadcasting.
Here is one way to overcome this
dificulty; Il will enable you to re-
cefve broadoasting by making use OF
the ordinary 'belr' circuit in the
house. In every apartment house
there is usually front-door bell and
also a buzzer in the kitchen, which is
connected for use in the dumb waiter.
This latter circuit makes a good an
tenna because 1t is not used as much
as the front-door bell.
Buzz to BE Avoided.
As a slight buzz will be heard in
the receiver every time the button fs
pushed, and as the door bell is apt to
be rung at almost any time, the du umb-
walter buzzer is the more serviceable
of the two.
Using one side of this circuit will
not harm either the bell circuit or
your receiver Even when the buzxer
or bell is rung, il will have no effect
on the set, except that a noise will be
heard
To connect the radio receiver to
such an antenna is simple. Loosen up
one OF the binding posts on the busxer
or bell and connect wire to 1t. The
other end of this wire should be run
down TO the antenna binding post on
the radio set. In connecting this wire
to the buzzer, be'sure that the wire
which was already on the binding
post of the buzser is. put back in
place, otherwise the buzrer will not
ring.
Surprising Results Possible.
OF course, II is not possible to re-
ceive much DIX on an antenna OF this
sort, but If circumstances are right,
some surprising results may be had.
On local broadcasting stations the
signals should be almost as loud as
with the outdoor antenna.
In some of the large apartment
houses, where the bell wiring Is run
all through the building the wave
length may be a little too high for
broadcasting reception; for this rea-
son It Will be well to insert 45-plate
variable condenser In the ground lead
This will reduce the wave length and
give better results.

One of the first methods used to
produce. electrical OSCILLATIONS in a
.cfrcult was that in which a condenser
was placed In 4 histie potential cir
cult, SO that IT could be charged by
the. source OF high potential until a
certain condition OF tension was OBJ
tafned. Once this condition was OBJ
tained, the condenser WAS connected
in series with an inductance and the
condenser allowed to discharge in
this circuit, producing an alternating
current Of very high frequency.
The action of such circuit Is
shown below -
The source of high potential is
connected across terminals A and B.

This source is usually obtained from
the secondary winding of spark
coll. The application of this high
potential on the plates of the con-
denser charges the condenser until a
point Is reached when the charge be-
comes SO high that IL breaks through
the air gap of the spark gap shown
at s, producing spark at the spark
gap which transforms the non-con-
Quoting air gap into a conductor;
closes the circuit of the condenser
and inductance coil and permits the
condenser to discharge in the circuit
formed by the condenser and the in
ductance coil.
The discharge that takes place in
the ,inductance coil, condenser circuit
LSC, Is an oscillatory one. The am
pfitude or. the oaeiila tions dies down
gradually as the discharge reduces
the potential across the gap and the
plates of the condenser.
Action of Spark Gap.
The spark gap acts as an auto
matte control which permits oscilla-
tions to occur at definite times during
the operation of the circuit and
which also automatically controls the
amplitude of the oscilla tions accord
ing to the potential required to break
down the resistance: at the gap to
make a spark jump the gap and act
as circuit closer for the inductance

The amplitude of the oscillations
and the periods can be controlled by
properly spacing the distance be-
tween the electrodes of the spark gap
The iron -cored choke coils shown
at IL and ~ are placed as shown to
prevent the high frequency. oscilla-
tions IN the coil-condenser circuit
from flowing into the low frequency
high potential parts of the circuit.
They confine the high frequency oscil-
lations to the inductance coil con-
denser circuit, where they belong.
Damped Oscillations.
The oscillations produced in the
oscillatory circuit are known as
damped oscillations because the am
piitude OF the oscillation decreases.
This type of oscillation can be
used to advantage In radio telegra-
ply, but its use is impossible in radio
telephony, because the dampins OF
the oscillations makes the use OF such
oscillations impossible as producers
of the steady amplitude, continuous
waves required as carrier waves in
radio telephony.
1t was not until about Is years
ago that a special alternator capable
of producing high frequency oscilla-
tions suitable for radio telephony
was perfected by Ernst +. w Alex
