FIFTEEN MINUTES OF RADIO EACH DAY
BY JOSEPH CALCATERRA
Noted Authority Radio.
't. All Rights Reserved. Reproduction Prohibited

The reason for this is very simple.
When you are plunged into the first
stage jack, the filament control
springs cut off the current supply to
the last tube and the rheostat is con-
trolling the current only through the
hrst amplifier tube. When YOU shift
the plug to the last stage jack, the
niament OF the last tube is connected
In parallel with the first amplifier
tube. Under such conditions, the re.
sistance of the two tubes in parellel
'is less than the resistance; of each
tube because the resistance of two
equal resistances in parallel Is equal
to one.haif of the individual resist.
ance. The current draw however. Ia
twice the former value and the Anal
result is that a lower value of ex-
ternal resistance in the rheostat is
required to allow the required amount
Of current in each tube.
Unless you expect to use the first
stage for long periods Of time so that
the economy in current would be
worthwhile, 1T Is best not to use fila.
ment control jacks. Use regular sim
gle or double circuit jacks and leave
the last tube lighted when YOU tune
in on the first stage. Then when YOU
switch to the last stage It win not
be necessary to, readjust your rheo-
stat.

JUST A FEW SCATTERED WHY'S
AND WHEREFORES.

Probably many fans have wondered
why the negative lead of the 'B''
battery Is usually connected with the
positive side of the a. battery lead.
thus connecting the negative of the
"B" battery with the positive leg of
the filaments of the tubes. This con-
nection is not chosen arbitrarily as
some fans who have experimented
with connections on either side may
suppose. As far as actual operation
of the receiver is concerned, no differ
ence will be noticed with the mega
tive "B" battery lead to the positive
or to the negative Of the "A" battery:
The connection of the negative "B"
battery lead is determined, by consid
erations which affect tube economy.
Greatest tube economy and long.
est service life Of the fflament is OBJ
tanned when the filament is operated
at constant voltage and under condi
tions which prevent any increases in
current. When the negative lead of
the "B' battery is connected with the
negative lead of the "A' battery an
UNEQUAL distribution of current In the
filament results which causes a. reduc-
ton I'm the service life OF the filament
1t ia for this reason that the mega
tive "B" battery lead should be con.
nected with the positive lead of the
"A" battery
II YOU are using a receiver equipped
with filament control jacks, you may
be puzzled by the fact that when you
tune in station on the first jack and
then switch to the last stage, you find
1t necessary to readjust the amplified
6lalusnt ghscstat.

GOODING DEMANDS
FARM BILL ACTION
Warns Senate That Congress Will
Not Adjourn Without Grant.
ing Some Relief.

Warning was sounded by Senator
Gooding, Republican. of Idaho In the
Senate Yesterday that Congress will
not adjourn in the near future unless
something is done for the farmers.
In beginning a lengthy address on
the farm situation Senator Gooding
said rumors are current that no legis.

said the reports reaching him were
that the pending farm bills in the
House would be referred back to COM
mittees and that an effort might be
made to substitute the Tincher or
Aswell bill.
Il hope these reports are not true"
said Senator Gooding. because unless
the House passes something the farm
els can accept Congress is not going
to adjourn at a very early date"
Senator Goodirg then referred to
series of luncheons held recently by
Senators interested in farm legisla-
ton, and he declared that the mem
bers attending these discussions were
almost unanimous in the belief that
there should be no adjournment until

WEATHER CLEARED
Of RADIO CHARGES
Has Little to Do With Bad
Reception, Experts Tests
Indicate. ~

The weather has been eXonerated OF
all blame In the spelling of radio re-
ception, according to the report made
by the General Electric Co. on series
of broadcast wave propaganda tests
conducted from January l to May 8.
The General Electric Co. believes 1t
has obtained substantiation of the
theory that radio waves split into
ground waves and sky wave IN
passage from transmitter to receiver.
Changes IN the upper atmosphere. af-
fecting the sky waves, rather than
the weather conditions at compare
lively short distances above the earth.
are believed responsible for the brief
occurrences of poor reception condi.
tions.
Ground Wave Weakens.
In making its case for the split
wave theory It is pointed out that
from the tests 1t appears when a.
broadcast program is transmitted
from an antenna one wave passes
along the earth and the other prob
ably 100 miles or more above the
earth. continuing .unreflected- down
upon the receiver by semi-conduct
ing layer in the atmosphere. The
ground wave, it is found, weakens
rapidly and becomes negligible about
200 miles from the broadcastins sta
tion and reception at greater distance
is due entirely to the sky wave.
From present analysis of data
compiled from the tests" it Is said.
IN seems probable that barometer
and weather have only minor effect
on radio conditions"
Weather Stops Short.
Over short distances. up to 800 Or
400 miles. 1t is explained, the weather
and barometric pressure may have
some effect on the strength of radio
programs, but at greater distances
the conditions on the surface of the
earth appear to have nothing what
ever to do with radio reception
Weather conditions, it is pointed out,
extend not more than 10 miles above
the earths surface.
Conditions during February were
found to he especially unfavorable for
reception.
