The radio frequency tube and the

30 ohm rehostats. The audio fire.
quency tubes are not critical as to

employed in this set. The grid con-
denser is as usual, but the grid
leak is shunted directly from the grid

RADIO WEEK TO AID
zGOOD WILL BETWEEN
LANDS, SAYS AUDREA

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-"The tests
to be conducted during international
Radio Week will be regarded from a
broader viewpoint than the technical,
important though that aspect be-"
said Frank A. d. Andrea, president of
F. A. ID. Andrea, Inc, today.
While We are all exceedingly anx-
ious to make engineering tests as to
reception of broadcasting from for
eign land and no doubt radio fans
abroad feel the same way about the
American broadcasts. consider for q
moment the far-reaching effect of the
bringing together of the citizens OF
various countries Of the world through
the agency Of RADIO" Mr.. Andrea
continued.
"A noted minister remarked the
other day that anything that brings
the nations together has greater pos
sibilities for good than for evil. He
mentioned cables, newspapers and ra-
do. Certainly this is particularly
true Of radio when the voice is heard
itself from distant lands" Andrea
said.
What greater agency for peace and
goodwill can you imagine than is fur
nished BY radio? Naturally these
tests during the week starting Janu-
airy "a are but forerunners Of the time
when there will be a daily exchange
Of views, news, scientifS discussion
and interchange of the music Of the
nations Of the globe. II is not pos
sible 10 imagine now that in the
years 10 come there may be perfect
understanding due TO the close con
tact" through space of the leaders and
the masses of the people Of all coun-
tries?

Of SKY
MADE BY
NAVY
Research Laboratories In
vestigate Layer
Over Earth.

Practical tests by the naval re-
search laboratories to see if there is
Heaviside layer, seem to indicate
that this radio theory is the correct
one, at Asst in so far as high-fre-
quencies or short-wave lengths are
concerned. Naval experts have decid-
ed that the inability to pick up short
wave signals at certain distances from
their source, is due to the fact that
these waves are reflected by the earth
enveloping ceiling and do not reach
the earth again until a considerable
distance from their starting point.
What are known as dead spots were
found at distances about 45 miles from
short wave stations. In other words,
these waves travelling from a transmit
ter did not reappear everywhere, but
operated on sort Of skip stop" prin-
ciple, which was not satisfactory for
naval or marine use, nor in broadcast
ing, for that matter. Naval signals
must be receivable everywhere they
viii carry to be used as an efficient
and reliable means of communication.
1t was for this reason that Secretary
Wilbur insisted the naval planes I'M
der Mcmillan be equipped with long
wave spark transmitters as well as
the new short-wave sets-he feared
that communication by the latter
method might prove unreliable on oc
casions and at certain distances.
Preliminary results from the ex-
periments seem to indicate that this
etherel curtain enveloping the earth
lies at varying distances from the
earth. depending upon atmospheric
conditions, but that roughly it is
about 100 miles distant. There ap-
pears to be a definite relation be-
tween the height of the radio sky"
so to speak, and the distance between
the skip stops Of jumps of the reflect
ed radio waves on the earth's surface.
The new discoveries will probably
effect future development of short
wave Transmission and reception, in
advancing the radio art. Short-wave
transmission, if definitely established
and controlled effectively, will I'M
doubtedly reduce the cost of construc-
ton and operation of many CONNER
cial and naval stations. 1t is definite
ly stated by the navy that high
frequency station can be built at a
cost of about 10000 as against an
expenditure of around 100000 for a
high-powered long-wave station, and
that, since greatly decreased power
can be used in the former, a large
saving in maintenance can be made.
Incidentally it should give better serv-
ice and longer ranges than the present
type Of station operated by the navy.

which in this case isn't a primary at
all, but our old friend the ticker in
disguise.
READ ON, FANS.
Two variable condensers, capacity
COOS, straight line frequency pre-
ferred), are mounted far enough from
each end Of the panel TO leave space at
each end for one Of the coils. Mount
the radio frequency coupler just
ahead Of the first condenser. Place it
on its side, as in the photo, the PR
mary end away from the panel.
Mount the other coil on end at the
other extremity of the panel. In the
photo the coil is shown with the ticker
end uppermost. The tuner is less
liable to oscillation troubles, however,
if the ticker end is down, so we'll
reverse it.
The lad who made the set in the
photograph used a double transformer,
shown in the center of the receiver.
This is all right, or separate trans
formers may be used. Its just a mat
ter of conscience.
You will note that this same clever
boy cut away all Of his Dashboard in
the center Of the set where it wasn't
needed, thus making the wiring very
much easier.
The control shown in the center,
top, isan 1850 ohm Federal poten-
tiometer, used as a resistance. That
is one Of the binding posts is not
used-just the center arm and the
other connection. This resistance is
shunted across the fixed ticker. As
more resistance is thrown into action
by the motion Of the slider, more and
more current will decide it is easier
TO flow through the ticker turns
thus increasing regeneration.

Trend Toward Few
Controls.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-"Unit con-
troll, which still exists in theory only,
with practically all sets so advertised
carrying a number of auxiliary con-
trolls, it is hardly believed will be con-
summated during the coming season, :"
said X. NJ. Klein, general manager for
Fada Radio, in an interview today.
day.
Although it would appear" con
tinued Mr.. Klein, perfectly feasible
that dual control, one for the antenna
circuit. the other for all simplifying
and detector circuits, will be adopted
more or less as standard by the
leaders in the trade, it cannot be over
looked that the characteristic three
dial control, which, as introduced by
Fada Radio in the first Neutrodync
receiver ever built was quickly taken
up by practically all manufacturers
and has been substantially the uni
versal standard during the past three
years, especially on the lower priced
sets, will probably continue as the
predominant one for some time 10
come"
Lewis NJ. Clement. acting chief On
gineer for the company, considering
the matter from technical viewpoint
and from the standpoint also Of thu
operator himself, stated that he believ-
ed that the ultimate is a two dial con-
troll, at the same time pointing out
the advantages of the two dial control
over the so-called single control.
TWO DIALS SOON.
Mr.. Clement said, recently:
obviously, simplification Of con-
trolls is coming. / believe the ulti-
mate is a two dial control. Two
dials make a set which is easier TO
design and less likely to give trouble
than the single dial set.
"The two dial set has advantages
over the style dial receiver in that
the operator may pick up stations
whose signal intensity is weaker than
that which it is possible to pick up
with the single dial set"
Concluding, Mr.. Clement said:
"Most people today do not listen
continuously. and turn the dial TO pick
up all stations that happen to be
broadcasting. The general procedure
is to pick out two or three stations, set
the dials at Predetermined points for
the stations desired and listen in.
From this viewpoint 1 do not believe
that three dials are any disadvantage
at ALL"
