The demand for a tube of even lower

signed for use in very compact sets
and are smaller than any other previ-
Gus models. The socket required is
also very small. The prongs are very
short and contact between tube prongs
and socket springs is made in the
same way as with the standard Navy

ing the tube in place and the prongs

Vacuum Tubes, Old and New
Part III.

The development of the dry cell
tubes known as the WD-11 and Gil
brought with them not only changes
in the electrical characteristics of
tubes but also other developments
in the design of tube bases and
sockets.
Some of the disadvantages of the
old Navy type base and sockets were
the bulky size and expensive con-
struction required in making the
sockets. The small size of the
prongs ant, the difficulty of getting
a good contact with the bayonet
type socket, which required that a
twist be given to the tube, was an
additional disadvantage.
Tube Developments.
Since the new tube operated on a
f1lament current source of IL volts,
it was considered desirable to elimi-
nate the possibility of burning out
the filament through it's insertion in
\. set fitted with sockets for the stor-
age battery tubes. 1t was therefore
decided to use a special tube base
requiring a special socket on this
tube. To provide a better contact
between tube prongs and socket

RADIO FANS ALERT
IN THE WORLD TEST
With Fingers Twitching Un-
der Strain, Doubt if Tuning
in Will Be Easy.

With ears ringing. eyes smarting
and fingers twitching, radio fans of
the Capital were beginning to wonder
today whether there is, after all, a
Europe and a South America, and. If
there is, whether their broadca sting
stations will ever be as easy to tune
In as those of San Francisco and Los
Angeles.
With three of the five European
nights Of international Radio week
gone and still no easily recognizable
signals received from abroad, listen
ing for foreign announcements was
losing some of it's lure.
The third night of the test week
was the least favored SO far by wealth
er conditions. And from a noticeable
decline in the number of re-radiating
sets on the air during the test hour,
1t could be presumed that the poor at
mospherics had driven many listeners
to other pursuits or to bed.
Reception Decidedly Poor.
Except for stations TO the south of
the District of Columbia, reception
was decidedly poor. A form of roll
ing static" made its appearance early
in the evening and continued until
midnight. Even the Chicago stations
and WIW, at Cincinnati, were almost
unintelligible as far as radio was con-
cerned. In the North the usually pow
erful WGY lacked most Of its accus-
toned pep.
Disregarding the few widely scat
tered instances of authentic reports
of signals from foreign countries dur
ing the test week. radio engineers of
the Capital are generally agreed that
only by rebroadcasting as it has
been done in the past by the Radio
Corporation of America. will the pro-
gram of other continents he audible

wave has been further harnessed or
until power has been increased prob

ordinary radio fan.
Awaiting Further Tests.
With Europe generally accepted as
beyond the range of their receivers.
Capital fans are beginning to look
forward to the test program of Fri
day and Saturday nights that will
give them an opportunity. never be

ference for the Rocky Mountain sta

as we'll as the Canadian and Mexican
transmitterS.
The outstanding feature of the 1926
tests so far has been the accord with
which practically all of the United
States maintained the silence request
ed by the officials Of international Ra
dio week. With weather conditions
as they have been during the week,
1t is believed that broadcasting by
the one or two stations which oper-
ated west Of the Mississippi would
have interfered greatly with the pos
sible reception from Europe and from
South America

SQUEAL|NG RADIOS
BLOCKING BIG TEST
Fans Protest Continued In
reference With Interna-

Continued interference with the in

written and verbal protests today
from radio fans who have been I'M
able to hear anything While the for

For three successive nights Wash
ingtou fans have listened in vain for

predict that as far as the Capital is
concerned the test will do down as
It complete failure unless the own
"rS of regeneratiVe sets learn to OPP

Bitter in Protest.
Rufus Turner. operator of amateur
station 3LF, is particularly bitter in
his denunciation of the regenerative
receivers, and suggests that the De
Ddrtment of Commerce take action to
ban this type of set completely The
