RADIO EXPERTS
STUDY ECLIPSE

Three Government scientists
were en- route to Nova Scotia to-
day to study the effects of the
August 81 solar eclipse upon radio
transmission.
Their journey was in behalf of
the 100000 American owners
of radio receiving sets. They
planned to find out whether the
rays of the sun cause the skipping
and fading that often disrupt
radio programs during daylight
hours.
The scientists. T. r. Gilliland,
K. A. Norton and E. Karnes. were
sent to Nova Scotia by the Bureau
of Standards. Two other mem.
bers of the bureaus technical
staff, S. S. Kirby and L. V. Berk-
ner, remained in washington to
cooperate in the experiments.
Lyman j. Briggs, acting director
of the bureau, declared the eclipse
would offer fine chance to learn
more about the mysterious Ken
nelly-HeaviSide layer which makes
1ong-distance radio transmission
possible.
This layer, existing at heights
of 10 to 80 miles, is supposed to
defect radio waves and cause
them to follow the curved surface
of the earth instead of skipping
off into space.

STATION PERMIT ASKED

Atlas Broadcasting Corporation of
New York Files Application
With Commission.

Another broadcasting station In the
New York metropolitan area, with its
object Ito help solve the economic prob
lens of the Negro race" is proposed in
an application filed with the Federal
Radio Commission by the Atlas Broad
casting Corporation, giving it's address
as 2370 Seventh avenue, New York City.
Thomas B. Jones is president Of the en-
terprise.
1t is proposed to erect a 500-watt
station either at Fort Lee or Palisades
Park, on the Jersey shore, to operate
10 hours day on 1,450 kilocycles, a
channel now used jointly by VIM, New
ark: WHOM and WKBO, Jersey City,
and WBMS, Hackensack. These stations
are expected to resist the application,
which will be set for hearing this Au-
tumn In the usual routine.
1t is also pointed out here that the
application faces the obstacle of an
already overcrowded broadcasting situa-
tion In the metropolitan area, both New
York and New Jersey being over quota

programs. Mounted on a slender up
right stand, it looks like a simple piece
Of perforated metal, beveled of at the
ends like wedge or chlsel. Perfection
of the instrument has Just been an
nounced to the radio industry by the
r. G. A.-Victor Co., Inc, Of Camden,
N. j.
Most microphone Ills have been laid
directly to the use of the diaphragm.
r. c. A.-Victor engineers have developed
a "diaphragm-lesS" device, which they
call the velocity mike. Another impor-
tant difference is that the sound waves.
instead of being forced to pass around
the instrument. actually pass freely
through 1t. All previous types were
actuated by change Of pressure on the
diaphragm, and were spoken of as being
pressure-actuated. The velocity mike,
on the other hand, Is actuated by the
velocity of the air particles.
The moving element in this new mike
Is thin metallic ribbon, suspended be-
tween the poles Of magnet with its
length perpendicular to, and its width
in plane with the magnetic lines of
force. The pole pieces of these magnets
are so constructed and cut away as to
allow free passage of the sound waves
through the mike. The ribbon element
IS made of thin duralumin and Is 20
light that its motion corresponds to the
motion of the air particles.
Because Of the directional character
lStics Of the new mike, it is claimed that
artists may be placed about the studio
in such a way as to eliminate reverbe-
ration and other unwanted noises. A
shout at the side of the microphone Is
said to be less audible than a whisper
in front Of it. 1t is open both in front
and back, allowing pickup equally in
both directions. AS result, artists may
be placed both in front and in back Of
the mike and programs using twice as
many artists may be picked up on .
