No. 33-Seeing Through CIV.

Smith is a radio fan through and
through. Whenever he isn't radioing
he's thinking radio. 1t was while pur-
suing the latter course that he hap
pened to go back to some Of the fun
damentals which he had rushed past
In a hurry to get some practical ex-
perience with receiving.
When any radio fan goes back to
the funda mentalS he goes back to the
radio wave because, while the wave
is the simplest of all radio communi-
cation, it is the least understood For
practical purposes we view It as an
electro-magy stic wave and let it go
at that
However, some Of the character.
isticS Of these waves. whatever they
really are, seem to be far less Of a
puzzle. Smith had heard radio engi-
neers discussing spark transmitters'
and "CW transmitters," and 1t was
only natural that when there was a
lull on the air he should look into the
matter. This was something which
they discussed with evident under
standing. just as one would picture
the difference between a two-cycle and
u four-cycle automobile engine.
The first step was to learn that
CIV stood for Continuous wave
After that. however, he was stumped.
All of which accounts for a hurried
meeting OF two radio fans on an other
wise dull evening.
Il thought all radio waves were con-
tinuous." Smith said. Wasn't that
the picture you drew when you liken.
ed the electro magnetic wave to the
wave created In a pool Of water by
dropping In n stone? Those little
water waves can be detected all the
way to the shore. and remember dis
tinctly that you told me that 1t was
the ability OF the receiving set to
pick up and amplify these minute
waves at a distance from their source
that made radio telephony possible.
"All right I replied. but what
happens after the waves reach their
limit. even assuming that the original
disturbance was sufficient TO send
some sort Of faint wave to the most
distant point In the pool OF water. or
in the ether. depending upon whether
we are talking about water waves
or radio waves?"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1925-09-27

They come to an end" Smith de-
cfded. "A single disturbance can't set
up perpetual motion. After a rea-
sonable period Of time, following the
disturbance. the pool or the ether
would be at rest again. There would
be no waves to pick up anywhere.
Explains Damped Wave.
We'll" I explained. that is your
picture of what is known as damped
wave. You drop a stone in the pool
disturb II by setting up a chain of
waves and witness return to normal
just as soon as the waves are damped
out. Without half realizing 1t you
have explained to yourself the nature
OF the original form Of wave used in
radio telegraphy.
The spark tranSmitters which were
formerly used exclusively for radio
communication set UP periodic dis
turbances which created waves that
soon died out. You got a buzzing
noise In the receiver with the dots and
dashes coming as the individual and
successive trains of waves were built
UP.
This sort Of thing has given way
to what Is known as the undamped
wave in radio biography, and in radio
telephony the undamped wave is used
exclusively. In this newer method
the waves are created with such regu-
larity as to produce q continuous dis
turbance. SO that each wave Is vir-
tually identical with the one preceding
or following it, the only variation
being In the distortion caused by the
sound values which these waves carry
and the distortion due to fading and
interference from external forces
You have the analogy in the pool
Of water. Drop stones Of the same
size from the same height and with
a certain regularity and you will set
up train OF CIV waves. Now if you
want to transmit a message to some
delicate recording instrument at the
edge Of the pool all you have to do
IS stop and start the process in such
way as to chop 1t up. Long periods,
or short, of the continuous waves
give you the dots and dashes of the
telegraph codes.
CIV for Radio Telephony.
That's just for biography. In
radio telephony the system is little

WIRING TO BATTERIES

he Is equally puzzled as to which end

terry (when one is used.
The outside end of the primary
winding should go to the "B" battery
(plusl, and the inside end of the pri-
mary winding should go to the plate
of the tube. This gives the lowest
capacity between the grid and the
plate ends of the windings, which
lowers the effective capacity across
the coils.
