declared, and in it are repre-

Eventually this State network
may constitute a part of a pro-

new ANTENNA TYPE
MAKES FLYING SAFER
Ensures More Accurate Signals
Sent Out by Ground Beacons
to Guide Aviators.

Safer flying at night and in fog is
predicted as the result Of the develop
nent of a new type of transmitting
antenna which insures more accurate
reception of signals sent out by the
ground radio beacons to guide avla-
tors along the Federal airWays. The
new antenna was developed by re-
search scientists of the Bureau OF
Standards in cooperation with the
airways division of the Department OF
Commerce. 1t eliminates troublesome
night effects which caused airInen con-
siderable confusion.
The Kennelly-H -Heaviside layer, which
has frequently disturbed the reception
from broadcasting stations, produced
changes in the position of the courses
transmitted by the radio range bea-
cons as we'll AS flyers at night or in
fog maintain their courses by means OF
these beacon signals received through
headphones, this interference proved
disturbing as it caused an apparent
shift in the course of flying. Tests
of the new antenna over the Allegheny
Mountains in PENNSYLVANIA proved sue
cessful and As of the beacons OF the
Federal airways system are to be
equipped with the new type.

- shut the books Of 1892
with increased revenues
over 1881, although the margin
Of increase was far below the
average.
The two Nation-wid networks
had an aggregate turnover for
sale of time over the air OF about
$39, ,100, 900, an increase OF 81 ,600,-
900 over 1881. Although figures
are not available for the entire
industry, embracing 900 stations,
it is unof11cially estimated that
about one-half Of them showed
revenues equaling or exceeding
those Of last year, while the other
half, as usual, lost money. Gross
receipts for all stations are esti-
mated at $100,00O,000.
N. B. c. and Columbia achieved
their new financial records in the
face Of big drop in business last
Summer which had them pruning
expenses through release of en-
ployes, salary cuts and slashing
of other appropriations. Deem

also fell far below expectations.
The balance sheets show that
N. B. c. realized SAG, ,504 ,891 during
1892, exclusive Of revenues de-
rived through its Artists Bureau,
which have not yet been an

In 1927 when network radio
began and N. B. c. was in the
field alone it had gross receipts
from sponsored programs of S.
760,010. Columbia came into the
picture in 1928, and in that year
the two networks reported a total
income of $1O,252,49 In 1929 the
figure jumped to $18,729,571; in

new MICROPHONE
IS UNBREAkABLE
Brush Development Company Con
tributes Device From Dregs
of Imported Wines.

An unbreakable microphone, using
as its basic element a substance de-
rived from the drees of imported wines,
Is the contribution Of the Brush De-
velopment Co. of Cleveland to broad
casting and the field of acoustics.
Developed by A. l.. Williams, former
submarine commander in the British
Navy and now president and chief en-
gineer Of the Brush company, the mi
crophone was put through a test of
amazing abuse without noticeable ef-
feet. II was thrown against a stone
wall, kicked about the floor and then
placed under q faucet and cold water
run through 1t. Hitched up to a radio
circuit Immediately afterward, it func-
toned perfectly.
Microphones heretofore have been
regarded as extremely delicate. In the
early days of radio the slightest rustling
OF the fragile instrument threw it off
tangent While modern mikes are more
durable, they cannot stand rough treat
ment and are thrown out Of kilter by
q severe jolt. Many a mike has been
blown out" by a loud blast directly
in front Of 1t, and even tubes Of the
exceptionally raucous performances be-
fore mikes of early vintages. The new
mike is said to be unaffected by vibra-
tion or shock and cannot be overloaded.
The secret of the Brush grille mi
crophone" is the use of crystallized
rochelle salts, procured from the dregs
of imported wines. The crystals are
called pieZo-electric sound cells, -
which become energy cOnyerterS As
such they are employed not only in
the manufacture of microphones but
for practically all branches of the
radio and acoustical arts, including
loud speakers and elements used in
phonograph pick-ups relays, oscillo-
graphs, and in television. The same
sort of crystal is used by broadcasting
stations to keep them on their wave-
lengths.

YOUNG MAN GETS
Bic RADIO CHANCE
Herbert L. Pettey, Kansas
City, Heads Inaugural
Subcommittee.
BY MARTIN CODEL.

T UPON the shoulders Of q pleasant
youth of 80, who Is probable
choice of President elect Roose-
~ velt for the existing vacancy
on the Federal Radio Commits
sion. has been placed the task of mar
shaling and supervising the rival radio
forces that will broadcast the Roosevelt
inaugural ceremonies to America and
the world on March 4.
The youth is Herbert l.. Pettey, ma
tive of Kansas City, who handled all
radio activities Of the Democratic Ma
tional Campaign Committee during the
recent presidential campaign. He has
just been assigned to Washington as
chairman of the Radio Subcommittee of
Admiral Cary T. Grayson's Inauguration
Committee. He has gathered around
him a group of radio officials and news
paper men as committee members to adj
wise him in his work, although the ac-
tual detailed plans for broadcasting the
Inauguration are in the hands Of the
rival national networks.
For Commissionership.
Mr. Pettey is now the most promi-
nently mentioned Democrat advanced
for the fourth zone radio commissioner
ship left open by the resignation last
Summer of Maj. Gen. Charles NICK
Saltzman former Republican chairman
of the commission. Since the party in
power has right to majority OF the
five commissioners, it is regarded as a
certainty that President Hoover, having
delayed his selection thus far, will leave
the choice to President-elect Roosevelt.
One other vacancy occurs before
President Hoover leaves the White
House. The term of Judge E. o. Sykes,
Democratic third zone commissioner,
expires February %. 1t is practically
certain that he will be reappointed
probably as chairman of the commits
sion. The strong support he has from
Southern Senators and radio interests,
and the yeoman service he performed
as chairman of the American delegation
to the recent International Radio Con-
ference at Madrid, lend to the convic-
ton that he will win reappointment.
He is the only remaining member of
the original commission established in
1927.
With Movie Concern.
Pettey literally stumbled into radio.
After leaving the University Of Kansas
in 1923, he was with a leading molten
City. Then he joined r. c. A.-Victor
Co.'S photophone division in sales
capacity Shortly before the recent
campaign his superiors assigned him to
sell motion picture campaign idea to
both the Republican and Democratic
National Committees At Democratic
headquarters he was so we'll liked that
Charles Nicholson, publicity director,
invited him to handle the radio details
of the campaign.
He acquitted himself masterfully in
the job, winning the esteem not only of
the publicity chairman, but of the
Democratic chieftain himself Sources
close to Roosevelt are responsible for
the writer's statement that young Pet
tey has good chance to win the radio
commissionership from the Middle
Western zone. Kansas City is in that
zone and he can thus readily qualify.
