DIAGRAM READING.
4 Heavier Lines Urged to Mark Cir.
cults, Clarifying Chart.

Circuit diagrams, at best, are not
simple things for the average man
to read. One of the things which
contributes materially TO his per
plexity is the confusing Of audio cir.
cults with the radio ones.
This can he eliminated, and the
whole diagram clarified. through the
simple eXpedient Of marking the audio
circuit with heavier lines than are
used to designate the radio side. If
one has the time to do it, anv dia-
gram can be improved by gradual
Increase in the width Of the lines to
indicate the increase in signal
strength, starting with a thin line at
the input from the antenna and end
ing with wide. heavy line at the
output to the phones.

LACK OF LEGISLATION
BLOCKS RADIO RELIEF
Trouble Hunters Unable to Search
for Disturbances in
Capital.

Although they would like to do all
in their power to chase down and
aid in the elimination of various
kinds of radio interference in cities,
members of the radio division staff of
the Commerce Department are un-
able to take any steps to insure un-
hampered reception in the Capital.
Congress has made no provision for
trouble hunting by the radio division,
w. d. Terrell chief of the radio in
spection service, declared today, and
the department has no trouble hunt
ing staff nor the necessary technical
equipment to locate the source of in
reference.
The Detroit office of the radio in.
spection service has a fast automo-
bile which is put to this use in the
Detroit district, but as the car was
purchased from a source outside the
funds available for radio inspection,
Mr.. Terrell does not feel it would be
proper to order it here to locate
causes of interference SO far away
from it's home base.
In the meantime, Mr.. Terrell says,
radio fans bothered by such electrical
disturbances as arcing street lamps,
N-fay machines, violet ray machines,
open electrical circuits and improperly
regenerative sets can find partial
cure for their trouble by hiring a
trouble-finding set from one of the
radio stores, and then going to the
root of the trouble with a suggestion
That its cause be removed. Another
proposal Is that operators of receiy.
ing sets who have been troubled by
electrical interference might pool
their money and hire a trouble
hunter to locate the source Of the
interference at small cost to the
individual.
Many complaints of unusual inter-
ference, marked by plucking sound
in the loud speaker and continuous
howls, have been made this Winter
in Washington.
