COLLEGE STATIONS

heads of new scientific data
In the new allocations effective
December the operations of several
college stations were changed, some
being restricted 10 daytime broadcast

CONNECTING RADIO &C" BATTERY
TO RECEIVER SIMPLE PROBLEM.

Where more than one block of "C's''
is provided it is necessary to hook the
batteries in series. This is done by
running wires from the negative OF
one battery to the positive of the next.
The first section of the battery will
have positive connection open and
the last section negative connection.
The &C. positive wire To the set is
placed on the battery positive The
next wire, leading to the first audio
tube, should he tried both on the 3
volts and the Az volts and left where
the best tone results. If a 112 type
power tube is used in the last audiO
stage, total &C" voltage of only is
needed. Sometimes even a lower volt.
age is better if the "R" battery vol
tage is not as high as the tubes rated
maximum. This tube will function
nicely on a "B" of 80 volts, with
&C" of about g.
If stronger power tube is used,
such as the III. the &C" voltage must
be increased accordingly Then 40
volts or thereabouts is needed if the
tube is worked at its maximum. A
simple rule in this respect is to place
the maximum &C. wire on the battery
connection providing the best tone.

BY c. f.. BITTERFIELD,


NEW YORk. k.-Connecting the CO.
battery to radio receiver often pro-
vides serious problem, yet its hook
up is simple
The &C. battery is used largely in
the audiO or amplification end of the
receiver to save b" battery current
and provide amplification without dis
tortion. However, too much ''C'' vol
taSe will cause the tube to function
erratically.
The &C" battery wires lead to the
grid return or filament connection of
the audio transformer. Frequently
where 2olA type of tube is used in
the first audio stage this grid return
is connected directly TO the "A" mega
tive. Where a power tube is used,
either in the first or both audio stages,
the &C" voltage must agree with the
b battery output.
When a single &C" battery is needed.
there generally are only two &C" wires.
One goes 10 the "C'' positive and the
other TO the &C" negative which gives
the best tone.

600 TRANSM|TTERS

Clearer Air Lanes Seen Ger.
tain by Work of Radio
Commission.

correspondence of the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. - Clearer air lanes
are in prospect, with a minimum OF
heterodyning and with broadcast
stations less numerous.
Reassignment of the wave lengths
OF the more powerful transmitters,
now in effect, and the prospective
elimination of possibly 300 stations,
bid fair to accomplish the announced
plans of the Federal Radio Commits
sion.
The United States. with its 694
stations, long has had a superahun-
dance of transmitters. The difficulty
that has brought much interstation
interference dates back TO 1927. pre-
vious to the passing of the present
radio law.
Stations Cut Down.
Since the advent of the Federal
Radio Commission slow process
was set in motion to cut down the
stations from the more than 200 that
existed. Most of the ideas put into
use necessitated numerous wave
length changes. including the latest

quiet reception.
Much favorable comment came
with the Inauguration Of the clear
ing plan. while some radio authorl-
ties expressed an adverse opinion.
These complaints were centered
around the fact that a number o.
cleared channels are used by stations
.broadcasting chain programs.
Replying, the radio commission
pointed out that some of these chan
nels necessarily would go TO chain
Of
their programs. The commission
added, however. that these chain pro,

should a marked repetition OF
programs result the commission
said. "and evidence be presented that
certain stations were not operated IN
the maximum interest of the listen
ers. their position would he weak

Improvement Noted.
With the changes in effect. some
Improvement was noted in the dis.
tance reception in the New York and
other areas, while in some respects
considerable heterodyning was still
noticeable at certain places.
Elimination of possibly 800 trans
mitters within the next year, the ra-
dio commission stated, would be
taken as a further step to enable full
public utilization of radio possibilities.
Surviving stations are to be deter
mined by standards set up by the radio
law which are based on public con-
venience, interest and necessity.
Priority in the field is to be second

Accomplishment of this plan. 1t is

z CYCLISTS OUT
FOR RECORD

A dual effort by two Western
Union messengers to break the
worlds nonstop bicycle record of
"a hours q minutes, parallel to the
Ruth-Gehrig home run race, will
be, started tomorrow at 9 o'clock on
the Polo Grounds at Potomac Park,
1t was announced today.
Eugene Fish, who was stopped by
spectator to engage in an argu.
ment over his mileage after travel.
ing almost 20 hours last night, has
announced that he win begin an
other attempt Sunday night.
Norval Smith, 16 years old. of
1904 l. st. N. w. will start with
him. Like Ruth and Gehrig these
two boys are 'buddies" and the
race will be on the most friendly
terms. After the boys pass the
record there is no telling how long
they will keep up.
Young Smith is the third OF Wash
ington's amateur cyclists to enter
the nonstop" competitive field. A
namesake, Milton A. Smith, son of
Sergt. Milton D. Smith, of the
Traffic Squad last Tuesday broke
the then existing record of "a
hours flat by pedaliing "a minutes
longer.
Fish's effort, which had all the
earmarks OF success. was nullified
by the mental deficiency of an
older spectator and his own affa-
bility.
Norval Smith Ii native OF New.
port News, Va, having come to
Washington with his parents six
years ago. He recently attended
the Citizens Military Training Camp
at Camp Eustis, Va. He is a grad
uate Of the Abbott school and has
been employed by the Western
Union since Deeember 20 last.
