RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

In view of the general tendency to-
ward consolidation Of the world
communication conventions, including
cable, wire and wireless, communica-
ton experts Of the Navy point out
that If such a combination Of interna-
tional agreements Is formed, 1t should
include only the essentials affecting
the sovereign governments. All man.
agerial and operating details Of serv-
ices to the public should be left to the
national arrangements, whether they
may be private or government owned
systems, it Is claimed. This idea is a
policy now being drafted with a view
of submission to the International
Radio Telegraph Conference to be held
here next year.
In this connection, report from the
Naval Communication Service states
as follows:
"The International Conventions of
Telegraph and Radio were initiated
in Europe, where the communication
systems are largely government owned
and operated. Consequently, they
contain not only matters OF pure gov
ernment concern, but also voluminous
details concerning the operation and
management Of the communication
plan Of leaving such details to the
arrangements Of private enterprise
which conducts the service, the United
States Government has never seen At
to ratify the international Telegraph
Convention and thereby impose on
American wire companies detailed
regulations for the conduct Of their
business.
"There has been a growing con.
viction throughout the world that the
principles governing all forms of
electrical communication are the
same, and that, therefore, the wire
and radio conventions should be
amalgamated. Following this conven.
tion there Is an increasing desire to
burden the International Radio Con
vention with more and more detail,
to make it more closely resemble the
International Telegraph Convention.

No. 66. John Meets the Jack.

It is a good thing for Smith that the
announcers occasionally ask him to
stand by. Otherwise, he might never
form an acquaintance with the many
interesting parts of the radio set that
still are Greek to him.
It was during one Of these pauses
that he happened to wonder what hap
pened when he plugged in the ear
phones or the loudspeaker. That Is,
he speculated as to what the plug
actually did.
So far as he could see the plug made
two contacts since just two "sides'' of
the power line were needed for operat-
ing the phones or speaker. The main
body Of the plug provided one Of the
connections, while the tip. which was
insulated from the rest Of It., provided
the other connection. That much was
rather obvious from close observation.
And yet, when he plugged in, it sur;
prised him to observe that the act
served to light up all the tubes.
Smith knows enough about radio to
appreciate that the phones are in the
plate circuit and are not directly con-
nected with the "A" current circuit
which supplies the electricity to light
the filaments OF the vacuum tubes.
And yet there was the simple plug
lighting the tubes.
In and out he plugged. studying the
situation like O boy who has just dis
covered what makes the wheels go
round. Then he came over to the
house to have q chat with me.
A Puzzling Trick.
THE trick that puzzled you is ac-
complished by. the jack" told him.
Smith was certain that I had auto
mobiles on the brain. A jack! Wasn't
that strictly automobile term?
THE jack of radio set is the re-
ceptacle for the plug" I explained.
"a number of mechanical Instruments
are called jacks. and 1 suppose they
use it in radio jargon because it
serves to give the plug q lift. Multi
tube sets, by the way, may have as
many as three jacks.
''One will enable you to plug in on
the product Of the detector. This is
necessary where you want to listen
in with the phones. Another jack
enables one to plug in on the first
stage of audio, while third Jack pro-
vides an opportunity to plug in on
the product Of the second and last
stage Of audio amplification.
I'm just giving you the general
picture. Jacks differ in their design
and function. Some simply are con-
nectors for the plugs. That is. they
provide one piece of metal to make

Reservation Of the band between

The radio beacon signals, now oper-

Bay City Regulates Radio.

An ordinance to regulate the opera
tion Of radio receiving sets and to
prevent unnecessary interference to
broadcast reception has been enacted
by Bay City, Mich, according to De-
partment OF Commerce Radio Super.
visor s. w. Edwards at Detroit.
According to the ordinance no per.
son or organization can operate a re.
cetver in the city until a license has
been secured. The operator agrees
to be responsible for the apparatus
and to permit its inspection. The fee
Is 81 for a permit, good unless re-
voked for violation Of regulations.
Sets must be operated so that they
will not cause interference to broad
cast reception on nearby receivers.
Radio dealers are permitted to demon
strate sets without licenses for a
period OF only 10 days.
Violations are punishable by a fine
OF not in excess Of 800 and imprison-
ment for three months, or either. A
third violation will bring a revocation
OF the receiving license.
Although several cities are known
to have passed ordinances against
radio Interference. this Is the first city
to impose licensing requirements for
receiving sets with an established fee
for their use in this country.

PREDICTS STATION
OF 10000 WATTS
General Electric Engineer
Describes Great Broad
casting Unit to Come.

Radio listeners who think OF $4,000
watts when used for broadcasting
| radio programs as "super" power have
been asked to consider a transmitter
which projects it's entertainment with
! an impulse OF 100000 watts.
! In the opinion of Harry Sadenwater.
engineer in charge Of the General
Electric Co. broadcasting stations
! WGY, KGO and KOA. the half million
the development of broadcasting. To
define "super-power" by referring to
the 60-kiiowatt transmitter is incor-
| rect, he explains.
Fifty thousand watts Of power
often are used in lighting large .4cG-
trio sign" Mr.. Sadenwater declared,
! ''and when one considers the large
| amount Of service that a broadcast
/ station is called upon to deliver to a
| large number of listeners 1t seems
ridiculous to call it super-power."
Explains His Forecast.
In explaining that he expected the
next step-up in broadcaSting power to
be to the 500-kilowatt figure, Mr.. Sad
| enwater pointed out that the two in.
! creases made to date have been In the
| factor of 10. The high-power broad
caster originally operated on 500 watts
|
watts. where 1t rested until the Gen
eral Electric Co. and the Radio Cor.
| poration Of America made a second
| Jump TO $4,000 watts. the highest
power in use today for broadcasting.
(, Mr.. Sadenwater declines to pre-
| dict when or how q station will be
| able to make another tenfold power
| Jump to the 500. .000-watt figure.
| "Such an increase would markedly
| increase the cost Of operating the sta
tion," he said, land we do not know
at this time, II such q step Is eco
nomically practical"
| Should science develop O different
| type and q much larger tube for
transmitting radio programs, it prob
| ably would result in the jump OF
power to the 500 ,000.watt mark. Work
| on a tube that would produce these
results, he explained, is being car
| ried on in the General Electric Co
! laboratories.
Range Gain May Vary.
The range Of q 500-kilowatt station
it was pointed out, need not be ex
| pected to be 10 times that Of q so
kilowatt station. Whereas the pres
ent complete service range Of WGY
when using it's full capacity of $4,000
watts is between 16 and 100 miles,
the range with 50o-kilowatt station
| would be approximately ESQ miles or
almost the entire distance over which
the ground waves Of transmitter
are carried.
Officials of the radio section Of the
i Department of Commerce have ex-
pressed their interest in the sugges-
| ton of q 500-kilowatt broadcasting
station and have indicated that should
apparatus be constructed which would
permit the use of this amount of
power. ample opportunity for expert
mental work would be given.

to operate from the existing stations
under their own call letters which are
independent from the regular station
call. This reduces the number of
stations which ordinarily would be re-
quired, and Is fortunate, in view OF
the scarcity Of broadcast channels in
Canada. The Dominion has but six
exclusive wave lengths, not used in
the United States. and shares IL other
channels with this country.
Canadian listeners, it seems, pre-
fer no moro than two stations on the
air simultaneously in q given area.
scribe that no more than three sta
tions operate on a given wave length,
time being shared ON the basis OF
two and one-third days per week.
Small centers have a single channel
and larger cities one or two.
Radio at Sesquicentennial.
Radio exhibits. both commercial
and educational, may be seen at the

Radio exhibits will be located in

ices. including the Navy. Army, COM

contact with the body Of the plug,
while another metal piece touches the
end Of It. This provides for the two.
contact communication Of the electric
current. In all cases the prongs of
the jack are designed for a certain
amount of spring action, so the con-
nection will be tight. This is highly
important, because loose connections
are sources Of trouble, although, as /
told you once before, the nearer the
bad connection is to the final product
of the sot the less its noises will be
alnplified and less trouble 1t will give
by way Of interfering with reception
Complex Jacks Interesting.
Complex Jacks. however. are the
interesting ones. In the double type
Of Jack two extra blades are provided.
Their function is to provide the con-
meEts Of the tubes. This is a splen-
did idea, as you can readily see, be-
cause the moment you pull out the
plug all the current is off. and there
Is no danger Of having the set run
down the batteries overnight.
II might caution you here to break
any habit you may have formed of
silencing the set by pulling the plug
half way out Of the jack. Always
pun IL ali the way. IL you Will raise
the cover Of my set while plug half
way in you will see that before the
loud-speaker circuit is hooked up the
tubes light. The jack starts the fla
ment circuit going before the plate
circuit in this set. 1t Is rather typical.
This type iS called q filanlent-contr-ol
jack.
I'm double-circuit jacks which are
used in amplifiers the act of inserting
the plug disconnects the transformer.
You can see from the variety of ef-
fects thus gained by the use of jacks
that they are simply automatic
switches. The more complicated they
are, OF course, the better they must
be constructed for good results. Some
Of the finest work in your set Is found
in the connections at the jack blades. v
That settled. Smith went back to
take up his post as one of the world g
most appreciative radio listeners. But
he came to the end Of that day with
q brand-new definition of the instru'
mert he had been discussing.
"A jack" SO runs the Smith version
"is one Of the many devices in radio
set construction that give a radio fan
lift in the job of mastering this
great and growing art"
