RADIO IS USED IN
 RAILROAD WORK
Possible to Wireless From Cab
 to CabOOse

After many months of develop mental work on the lines Of the New York Central. the radio engineers of the General Electric company. have designed an effective and reliable system Of radio communication be- tween the front and rear ends of trains, particularly of long freight trains.
 The new system. and some of the problems encountered were explain ed recently by l. r. Byrnes. a radio engineer, at a meeting of the New York Railroad club.
 Preliminary investigation was car ried on at Schenectady on engine and caboose. Several different types ot antenna were investigated on the locor otlve and it VAS found that the most effective type consisted O. d wire running parallel to the boiler and about Is inches from il. This was stretched between the stack and the rear end of the cah roof as far as possible from the boiler and at The same time within the clearance limit o' the right of-way. The ca noose sntenna vas placed four and q half feet above the roof, running parallel to the caboose. Antennas of he type used on engine and ca poose do nor possess any marked di- recrional characteristic. but they are inefficient radiators. due to their low effective heights. and for this reason require more power for given transmission range, than would he necessary if higher an- [ennas were available.
 Tests showed that the 9300 to 2l5o kilocycle band offered the best transmission frequency. In order to provide a strong telephone signal at distance Of from one to two miles a power Of 50 watts delivered to the antenna was found necessary. While communication is possible on less power there must be sufficient mar gin to care for unusual conditions
 Calling System
 \ radio telephone system must in corporate an effective calling sys- tenn if it is to have a maximum de- gree Of utility. The original work in cluded the use of a bell actuated by relay for calling purposes. This ar rangelnent was later discarded be- cause 1t was mparatively easy to secure false indications of calls. EX- cessive jars caused relay contacts and IL wa also possible for static and other disturbances to cause the bell 10 ring. The calling system finally developed utilized a loud speaker which produces a shrili note when eyer d push button is depressed at the transmitting end. The pitch of this note is adjusted so that it is easily heard above the usual train noises. In addition the loudspeaker may be used in place of earphones for receiving conversation when the running noises are not too great.
 Radio telephone equipment Is classified as either simplex or du- plex. The simplex system requires that small button or similar de- vice be depressed when one wishes to talk and upon releasing the but ton the apparatus is automatically transferred to the receiving condi- tion. With a duplex installation, full automatic telephony may be carried on similar to that with an ordinary telephone. In order to secure the latter condition. considerable com pication is introduced into the equipment and, in addition. the ra- dio transmitter must operate while receiving is taking place.
New Britain herald., 1927-12-09

speaker, capable of producing maximum of volume. was developed for the sets. This loud speaker may be holted to any convenient metal support inside the locomotive or it may be fastened 10 a bracket any where in the caboose. The opening for the sound is protected by means of a heavy wire screen so that an ac- cidental blow will not damage the sound producing unit inside. Excel lent speech quality may also be ob- tained from this loudspeaker ohviat- ting the use of headset under av- craze conditions.
 In adapting the new equipment for train installation it was found advisa ble 10 mount the antenna on the tender instead of along the To- comotive boiler. The antenna con- ssts Of a brass pipe mounted about i2 inches above the tender tank. The antonna is low enough so that fl docs not interfere with taking water or with coaling operations.
 The total amount Of power drawn by the equipment when transmit ting is approximately 30 amperes al g volts q. C., while, in receiving. the current drawn from the 32-vot battery Is approximately amperes. This Is the cnrrent required by the receiver dynamotor and the receiver tilament.
 A second application of radio other than front to rear end com 1nunicatlon is an installation for hump or classification yard service. 4 radio telephone transmitter sim
 liar to the first type has been in stalled at the Selkirk yard of the New York Central. The hump loco motive is equipped with radio re- ceiver and a loud speaker and re- ceives voice signals and instructions from the yardmaster at transmitting end. This apparatus has been ln service for several months and is giving very satisfactory results, par ticularly in stormy or foggy weather, when the older methods of signalling are difficult to carry out.

CONTEST FOR
MODERATOR OF
PRESbYTERlANS
Severa! Candidates Seek
Election at General
Assembly
BY United Press Leased Wire

san FRANCISCO, May 25.-With
the divorce question believed defi-
nitely shelved, chief interest of dele
| gates to the l39th general assembly
of the Presbyterian church in the
United States, shifted today to the
election of moderator, supreme Off
Ger of the church.
Efforts Of q subcommittee to eli
inmate desertion as recognized
grounds for divorce and to forbid
ministers to re-marry persons di-
vorced for that cause, were temper
arily halted yesterday when, on mo-
tion Of DR.. Mark A. Matthews Of
Seattle, the general committee voted
to postpone consideration of the
question until November.
This will keep the divorce ques-
ton off the floor Of the convention,
which opens formally tomorrow,
church leaders said.
Or. Robert E. speer of New York
continued today as the favoritc in
the race for moderatorship but many
of the church leaders. even among
his hackers, feared his election is
remote.
One of the chief difficulties. they
said, is that thus far DR. Speer has
not consented to become candi-
date.
In the event that he does not en-
ter the race, many other possible
contenders who are willing to throw
their support to him will enter the
field and sectionalism may have
considerable to do with the election,
according to the delegates.
Philadelphia is said to be deter,
mined to name as moderator j. Will
lison Smith. banker of Philadelphia.
Hays Mentioned
Others who will be contenders if
DR.. Speer is not elected, were DR..
Alvin f. Magary of Detroit; DR..
Hugh K. Walker Of Los Angeles; !;
DR.. George L. Robinson of Chicago,
DIR. Frank Chalamers Mexican of
Spokane, and Will II. Hays.
Hays is receiving considerable
support because he is. cosmopoli-
tan. His eldership is in the Indiana
SYNOD, thouPp MS nome Is LOS An
geles. He is q national figure and
if he is elected, his hackers declared,
no section will have won victory
over any other section.
The question of tightening the d.
vorce laws Of the church was post
poned to give the church leaders
more time to study it. DR.. Mat
thews. who was successful in tabling
it, said that he is not entirely oppos-
ed to the idea and declared that he
never re-marries divorced persons.
The permanent judicial commit
tee of the church has been holding
closed sessions for the past two DAYS
but its reports will not be made pub
lie until they are announced on the
floor Of the assembly.

The position Of Colonel Francesca
De Pinedo, Italian four continent
aviator who was forced down at
sea near the Azores Monday, was
in doubt today.
1t seemed definitely established,
however, that the Fascist aviator
was safe and that his plane was be.
ing towed toward the Azores by a

Dispatches to Lisbon newspapers,

said De Pinedo's seaplane, Santa
Maria, had been sighted off the
Island of Fayal, Azores, in tow of
the schooner Infante sagres, and
was being taken to Horta.
Latest word from the United

Immediately started for the Island
Of Flores, most westerly of the
Azores group, in search of the
schooner and seaplane.
Reports that the steamer Oil
Field had passed the schooner tow
ing a plane resembling De Pinedo g
were verified directly for the first
time when Captain Anderson OF the
steamer wirelessed the United Press
that he had sighted the ship and
plane.
The latter was a monoplane with
twin engines and the tri-color
painted on the rudder, and appeared
to be in good floating condition, he
said. It's position was northwest Of
the Azores.
