RADIO INVENTIONS
SWAMP U. S. OFFICE
1850 Patent Applications
Are Pending, With Work
Five Months Behind.

Radio patent applications are al
most overwhelming officials of the
radio division of the United States
Patent Office. Despite the fact that
the number of examiners handling
radio patent applications has been
almost tripled, the radio division is
losing ground before the greatest
influx of applications in the history
of the Office.
There are now 1880 radio patent
applications awaiting action. as COM
pared to 1894 at the first of this
year. The radio division Is five
months behind the applications.
The number or radio applications
took such jump following the popu-
larizing of broadcasting that radio
had to be divided into a separate
division In August, 1924. There now
are IL assistants in the radio divi-
sion alone. And still they are los
Ing ground.
When the radio section was made
separate division in 1924 1t was
2,I00 applications, or eight months,
behind. BY the beginning of 1925
this had been cut to Ave months,
or 1894 applications. Since that
time the number Of applications
awaiting action has steadily grown.
In February 1t was 1859; March,
LIZA; April 1928: May, 1856; June,
1870. and July. 1850.

THE ADVANTAGES AND DISAD.
VANTAGES OF A TUBES OSCII.
LATOR ACTION. PART

1t is well known fact that prac.
tically every agency of nature which
helps us can also hinder rs in the
accomplishment of our aims. We
cannot do without the sun, yet too
much of its heat, resulting in raging
forest fires and water famines, is
about as bad as too little of it.
Friction is a wonderful help in
many cases, but perfect nuisance
in others. Water can sustain life
and also destroy it.
Such is the case with the prom
erty of the vacuum tube to generate
oscillations or produce waves of high
frequency. Radio transmission and
reception as we know it TODAY would
be impossible if 1t were not for this
property of vacuum tubes to act as
oscillators. Radio frequency current
generators; modulators; continuous
wave transmission and reception: re-
generatiVe receivers; superhetero-
dyne receivers would all be impossi-
Bile If it were not for this property
OF the vacuum tube to generate high
frequency currents.
Property of Tube.
On the other hand, the only factor
which limits the amplification in a
receiver and makes the use of more
than two stages of tuned radio FREE
Quency application particularly i'm
possible is this self same property
of a vacuum tube to generate oscil-
lations. =
The action of tube as an inde-
pendent oscillator for use in trans
mitter and receiver circuits is very
interesting. A simple tube oscillator
circuit consists of vacuum tube,
with a coil, tuned by variable con-
denser connected in its grid circuit.
Another coil is connected in the plate
circuit with suitable "B" battery, and
the two coils are placed in inductive
relation to each other, with the
polarity of the coils properly ar
ranged to produce oscillations,
When the circuit is properly tuned
and adjusted, a very slight disturb
ance of the electrical balance of the
circuit, such as tuning on the Ala
ment current, or connecting in the
plate battery, is sufficient to pro-
duoe the initial flare to set the circuit
into operation.
Builds Up Oscillation.
Each additional amplified impulse
fed back into the grid circuit tends
to increase the disturbing element
ana to build up the oscillation
strength to higher and higher values.
within the limits imposed by the
fiattening ends of the characteristic
curve of the tube.

be termed vicious circle" of the

smite him harder than he ever smote

his best and had every right 10 be-
lieve that he had really arrived.
Harper was born in Paducah, KY.
80 years ago. and was a farmer boy
until be was IS years old. He wanted
to 90 10 school so badly that he
worked as janitor of the Baptist
church in order to be able to get
through school. He joined that same
church.
Later he worked in a stave f. tory
in Arkansas. The son Of the stave
factory owner got Harper time off
to play ball on a semi-pro team. He
vas a shortstop then. His play was
fast enough to win him an offer from

him $50 a month. He took counsel

GROWTH OF NATIONAL CUP.

With 40 entries in the first season
of competition, the cup was won by
the Brooklyn Field Club of Brooklyn,
n. Y, A games being played in the
tournament during 1913-1914. Inter
est has grown to such an extent that
it is necessary for the committee in
charge to limit the entry list to around
40 clubs. The trophy is competed
for on the knockout system, similar 10
a tennis tournament, and is played IN
geographical sections, attracting clubs
from New York and New England in
the East, TO as far West as st. Louis,
Detroit and Chicago. The winner of
the Western section meets the winner
Of the Eastern section in the grand
final, the winner of which is declared
the champion team of the United
States.
As showing the growth in the at
tendance Of the games, one big match
nowadays will almost equal the COM
bined attendance at the whole OF
the national cup games in the first
season Of competition. One OF the
biggest drawbacks TO the increase in
attendance at the soccer games has
been the lack of suitable grounds 10
mousse the fans and assure them of the
same comfort they enjoy at baseball
games. This drawback is being over
-ome with the advent Of the Ameri-
can Soccer League, a recognized pro-
fessional league with IL clubs this
season, embracing the leading teams
Of the East. This league was organ
lied five years ago in New YORK
City with eight teams, and in It's
first season was won by Philadelphia.
