line condenser, while an improve
ment and desirable when properly
designed, cannot be made to COM
pensate for the shortcomings in the
basic values of the tuning unit.
Selectivity and Resistance.
Selectivity. as told him. is
matter of resistance. The coil and
condenser with excessive resistance
is bound to be broad in its tuning
That means interference. because
when there are two stations on the
air anywhere near each other in
wave length. one cannot be tuned
out in favor of the other. 1t doesn't
make any difference, under such cir
cumstances. that these stations log
on the dialS 10 degrees apart, the
results are just the same.
From my observation of your SET
should say that ii tunes fine
enough" told him. You are try
ing for the impossible in some in
stances. OF course. it is nice TO be
able to swing the dials from % 10
so when you want to go from one
station to another instead of seeking
the same results by moving them
just a fraction OF a degree, but what
is the difference in the final analysis =:
Instead of worrying over so many
improvements in your set l think
YOU could do better by trying TO be
a little more steady when you tune
in. You are too impatient, too
nervous.
Psychology About Dials.
There's a lot of psychology about
the degrees on the dials at which
stations come in. That is why
straight line condensers have been
successful. 1t isn't so much what
they do as what they encourage the
radio operator to do. When stations
seem to be far apart on the dial
scale the operator takes more pains
with the tuning process. Then he
gives the condensers credit for what
ever success results.
Straight line condensers vary .
lot in electrical and mechanical eff
ciency A condenser of this type
has rotor plates shaped in such n
way that as the shaft is revolved
the condenser and its coil will pro-
vide equal graduations of frequency.
IF you are going to make a change,
be sure to specify good condensers
otherwise you will be exchanging
trouble for what is a fair average
Of satisfaction. This is also a point
to consider when looking over new
sets, because when you buy your
next radio set you surely will want
to have the convenience of every
possible assistance in tuning, even
though it is psychologist to large
extent

A. 7. AND T.FORMS
RADIO CORPORATION
New Company Will Take Over
Broadcasting Activities of
Present Firm.

The formation of the American
Broadcasting Co, which will take
over all of the broadcasting activities
Of the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Co, will not bring any radical
changes in the radio policies now
being followed in the commercial
chain broadcasting of that organiza-
ton, it is learned.
The action was taken in order to
divorce the broadcasting pursuits car
ried on by the A. T. and II. Co. from
it's line telephone work, and the new
company will be conducted in the fu-
ture as a subsidiary Of the telephone
company, dealing with the parent Or
ganiZation only in leasing lines for the
interconnection of radio stations for
chain broadcasting.
The men who have directed the
radio fortunes of the Bell system, 1t
is understood, will continue as officials
of the new broadcasting company and
will operate in the future along the
same lines they have worked in the
past.

announcement of what il is proposed
to do with station WCAP, the Wash
ington station of the Chesapeake and

sdiary of the A. T. and T.. it is under
stood that the affairs of that station
will be taken into the broadcasting
company along with WEAF. Those
two stations are the only ones which
have been directly operated by the
telephone company.
The same chain of stations which
have participated in the chain broad
casting programs presented In New
York and sponsored by national ad-
vertisers will transfer their affiliation
to the broadcasting company, and ef-
forts will be made this Summer. it is
understood, to extend the chain still
further, possibly until it reaches 20
broadcasters by next Fall.

No. 81: Straight-line Tuning.

When Smith first heard of straight
line tuning he felt very much as
he did when one of the big automo-
bile companies first announced auto
matte chassis fabrication for its
product. 1t appeared that he would
have to scrap his present set.
Il think you will make more prog
ress if you will first try to find out
exactly what straight line tuning is
and is not" ! suggested. THAT will
help YOU decide whether YOU are
going to be at disadvantage If you
do not have set equipped with
devices that give this new develop
ment.'
This appealed to- Smith as good
way TO avoid getting off the track.
For starter he suggested that ne
would outline what advantages. he
expected to get with a condenser OF
the straight-line type.
Boiled down To the essentials. he
figured on achieving greater dis
tance, better selectivity and freedom
from interference on stations that
come in close together on the diais.
THE thing that appeals TO me
about this new delevopment, he
said, "is the ability to spread the
stations out over the dials instead
of having them come in SO close
together that one interferes with the
other
Dial Visibility.
"If that's what you want. you
might make a change in the dials
themselves. using the same condens-
ers." | suggested You can buy
dials that operate on a variable
vernier principle. That is. they turn
the condenser rotors very slowly
through the low-wave band and move
them faster as the waves increase
in length. This gives YOU the ad-
vantage YOU are after: Dial visibility.
You simply want to log your stations
in a more orderly fashion and this
arrangement will give it to YOU"
But I'm seeking the convenience
of non interfering stations as well,
he explained.
Then you don't want any addi-
tional equipment for your set until
you know for certain whether such
a change would meet your desire, |
argued. You seem to think that a
straight line variable condenser
alone can give you selectivity. Don't
YOU know that the matter of selec-
tivity is basically a matter of the
resistance properties of your tuning
unit: The coil and the condenser?
Smith had been led to believe that
if the rotor plates of variable con-
denser could be swung through the
arc of an elipse by some ingenlus
eccentric action, the stations would
be spread apart and all would be

Why Acid Fluxes Produces Noisy
Connections.

When two dissimilar or unlike sub
stances are placed in contact. an cleo
tromotive force is generated. In the
cases of contacts between disSimilar
metals, the emf. produced is very
small and for all practical purposes
it may be entirely disregarded. In the
case of contact between metals and
electrolytes, however. the voltage pro-
duced is considerably greater and
forms the basis on which electric cells
and batteries work.
A soldered joint consists of a con
nection formed between dissimilar
metals in contact. The terminals or
the connecting wires which are joined
usually consist OF brass or copper
while the joining medium, the solder,
is made Of a composition of lead and
tin.
The relation which exists between
these metals. considering the solder
as being a single metal and the two
parts that are joined is that shown
In Fig. ], with the solder between the
two copper terminals.

nails which tends to set up inequali-
ties in the two cells so that the
strength of both cells becomes un-

rent in one direction or the other. de-
pending OH how the balance is upset.
Sometimes one is stronger than the
other, while at other times the condi-

equality, caused by corrosion and the
minute varying currents which IT sets
up in the small cells, that cause the
cracking sound often found in sets
In which an acid fluX has been used
to solder the connections.
Where resin is used the balance is
preserved. because no corrosion of the

Tube RejuvenatiOn Satisfactory.
Until a year ago, before the advent
of the now plentiful tube rejuvenar
tors. the prescribed remedy for a rum
down tube was to leave it in the re-
ceiver, turn on the filament supply
and disconnect the B battery. This
proved quite a serviceable cure in many
cases, an extra supply Of thorium be-
ing brought to the filament surface.
This was necessarily a slow job. BY
the use of a rejuvenator, the process
can now be considerably quickened,
the reason being that higher volt
age is supplied to the f1lament from
the rejuvenator than was previous
ly obtained from the storage battery,
| when the old method was employed.
Most rejuvenators are operated from
10 volts, alternating current, with a
suitable stepdown transformer.
"RejuvenatorS cannot be used with
any tubes except those which have
thoriated fllaments,'' writes Keith
Henney in the Radio Broadcast Maya
zine. 'They will be of no service with
the old tungsten filament 201 or 200
type tubes, or with the new UX-112,
or with Western Electric tubes. On

An electric power voltage line car

substances under construction most of
the troubles will be eliminated, the
supervisor believes.
