ready to install a 400-pound insulator
as swim the frantic Atlantic. But that's
Just what the crew at Arlington does
day in and out. Although every known
precaution is employed to safeguard
reception and improve radio signals, it
sometimes happens that a connection
is blown loose or some part becomes too
worn to function properly.
Replacing parts is done regularly by
the station staff If necessary, the job
is done at all hours of the night. At
night the Three Sisters may be located
by their blinking red lights, which serve
as aviation guides as we'll as warnings.
AS a precaution two bulbs are installed
on each tower Should one be eXtin-
guished the other will go right on blink
ing. If both lights go out, ground
beam is thrown on the tower.
Danger! High voltage. Touch moth

what they say. Indeed, it's not even
necessary to touch some of these con-
traptions. Magnetism of the human
body, or its electricity, is sufficient to
bridge a gap and conduct a current
through the human frame. If men
throve on electricity, Arlington would
be the most healthful spot in the
country.
Even to the staff this danger is acute
Two or three men are now in the hos
pital recovering from slight shocks.
And the air about the station Is so
charged with energy that sometimes

automobile is enough to knock man

noted If COB slips on drop of oil,
that is noted. Even conversations be-
tween men are noted. Every Is minutes
the temperatures of generators are
noted. If they are hot enough to re-
pulse the human hand, an officer must
be called for advice. That, too, Is
noted.
Should any piece of machinery COL
lapse, the commandant must be called
Immediately, never neglecting the log,
however: one man must always attend
to the diary. The commandant Is re-
quired to write a detailed report on
how, why, when, wherefor, because,
who and never again. Mistakes are
human. of course. But never forget,
the Three Sisters are inhuman. They
need electrical juice for their palates.
Woe betide the man who sleeps at his
post.
Arlington's power bill is $500 a
month. Daytime, two of the four high
frequency sets make San Francisco and
Balboa, C. 2. At night one makes Lon
don and two others make Balboa. In
ALL Arlington has eight tranSmitters.
Within a few weeks, one more will be
installed, and in the near future still
two more will be added, making elev-
en- transmitters in all. Other equip
ment being added includes five 10000
volt generators, for high speed relays.
Now nights blanket has fallen over
Arlington. Glimmering glow comes out
of the power house where the machin-
cry is humming the usual tune. At the
other end of the building the off-watch
is playing billiards and reading in the
library.
The commandant and his wife are in
their living room. The Three Sisters
are shrouded in darkness, their proud
heads lurking somewhere in the low
hanging mist. When the wind blows
through their naked ribs, they shiver.
That is have little shivers below. Aloft,
they have big shivers. each one of
which has an oscillation length of

of the dreadnaught as though 1T were
carried by a lightning bolt.
And besides, Arlington knows every
thing that goes on the air waves. It's
the worlds leading listening post. The
throb of electrical energy through Ar
lington is the pulse of civilization
These mute steel towers are mighty
wonders of this age.
Arlington also handles maps, charts
and photographs by radio. In short
anything that Is radiable will be found
at Arlington. Is it wonder that it
is the prize asset of the Navy?
Even the Army employs Arlington to
perform its daily business. Far-f1ung
posts are reached as rapidly as dread
naughts The Army is a hard-boiled
customer, too. Transmissions must be
right and on time; but no fault has
been found with Arlington.
Not least, Arlington serves as
guide to aviators near the Capital The
Three Sisters are a good station from
which to plot course.

IF Arlington collapsed, how would the
Il calamity affect the world? First,
the American Navy would be paralyzed.
Captains and admirals wouldn't know
where to proceed. Next, shipping might
suffer severe losses from a lack of
weather intelligence. The business of
the Army and Navy would be so Grip
pied that regiments Of soldiers and
armies of stenographers would be forced
into idleness. Our sailors and marines
Evening star., 1928-11-25

would not know the daily news of the
world. The Department of Commerce
and its many dependent organizations
would suffer thereby.
That's why Arlington must be kept in
tip-top shape. So far as possible, hu-
man failures and mistakes are elimi-
mated. Each man knows what to do
In case a piece of machinery breaks
down. Nothing is left to chance of in
experience or poor intelligence.
The job at Arlington Is fraught with
nervous tension. The pulse of the
world must be kept beating; the talk
ing towers must never stop throwing
words to the winds. What response
bility!
The gobs at Arlington know what is
expected of them; they live up to all
expectations They have assembled the
Three Sisters in blizzards; they have
worked until they dropped in their
tracks from exhaustion and found rest
sleeping on a concrete pavement.
When sailor is assigned to Arling-
ton he is given number and a letter.
All personal linen is marked with the
letter and his work station has a num-
Der. No man can leave his duty with
out consulting the officer on watch.
Here, in the silence of Arlington,
something always happens. In the
main switchboard room a desk holds
large logbook in which entries are
made every five minutes. Every time
a man enters this room the fact is
noted in the log. If a light that should
be steady blinkS, that, too, Is noted.

and all day. Generating energy for

In the 24-hour day there is respite of
40 to so minutes, namely, between Z

Kay himself pulls back the master
switch and inspects conditions at each

A RLINGTON, with its slim popula-
\ ton, is a community in itself. It's
government is centralized. It's COM
mandant is supreme. All the necessi-
ties of life come from outside the picket
fence, but food Is prepared, euuipment

marooned in the hills of Virginia.
The rolling acres are covered with
closely cropped sod, making this an
ideal golf course, which is one pastime
that keeps sailors happy at Arlington.
The Three Sisters have been painted
in variegated hues for fear they might
be lost in mist and be dangerous to
aviation.
Keeping the machinery spotless and
caring for the aerials keeps the station
crew busy. Gables, wires and insula-
tors must be hoisted from the ground
to the lofty aerials, calling for muscular
man power as well as ingenuity.
