WIRELESS WEEKLY VOL. 11. No. 23. FRIDAY, 20th MARCH, 1928. The Various Uses of Radio THOSE of us intimately connected with the broadcasting business are apt to forget that there is any other radio service. Broadcasting has taken up such a large share of public attention and interest, and the industry has developed to such proportions, that any other use of radio is more or less overlooked. Although no branch of the science of wireless transmission has made such progress, broadcasting is not the only wireless service. Many people regard the transmissions from 3LO, Melbourne, as not only the principal, but actually the only kind of use to which the science of electromagnetic radiation is applied. It is the most spectacular demonstration of the science, and the best known; but there are other applications, and some of them are of greater importance than broadcasting. The first use to which wireless was put, as far back as 1904, is still the most important, and the most valuable. Wireless communication between ships and stations or land, coast or short stations, was established for the purpose of assisting in lifesaving work. It was soon recognised that there was no substitute for wireless as a means of calling from one ship to another, or to the shore station for assistance in times of distress or danger. The importance of this service to shipping led to the first international radio conference to lay down the conditions relating to the “distress call” or S.O.S. procedure. Practically every ship of every nation of a tonnage of 1600 tons, now, is obliged to carry wireless, and to listen for the S.O.S. call, so as to be in a position to render assistance if required. Wireless for defence purposes followed quickly on the commercial application to ships; and in the last great war wireless signalling and direction finding were very important factors in naval warfare. They were on land and in the air, too, for that matter; and many interesting stories are told of the indispensability of wireless communication. In peace as in war wireless is a big factor in defenece orginsation, navy, military and aviation. We are all familiar now with the. beam service to England. That use of wireless was regarded a few years ago as a dream. The practicability of which was many years from fulfilment. Now it is so successful that it has caused considerable worry and embarrassment to government and company owned cable systems. Not only has wireless proved a strong competition with cables; it has provided communication service in places where no other communication was practicable. Even on land its usefulness in this regard has been demonstrated. There are places in many countries where the establishment of wire services, telegraph or telephone, would be too expensive; but the installation of wireless stations has been the means of giving settlers and others a communication service with the outside world. There are even more “domestic” uses of wireless by police, fire stations and irrigation dam authorities. Whether or not wireless telephony will ever replace wire telephony is a very big guess; but the advance of wireless is certainly wide and rapid.

Catching Up with themWireless World. By R. E. CORDER. THE CHILDREN still throng to Mark Foys to be entertained by Uncle George of 2GB. Many parents also come along to enjoy the weekly entertainment, which is held every Saturday morning. AS AN AID towards minimising “mike” fright, the British Broadcasting Company has tried converting its Studio into a small theatre, complete with audience and spotlights. The system is said to be a success. “I DON’T like plain cake,” said the parson to Johnny, aged five. • “I like cake that has a lot of currants and sultanas in it. What kind of cake do you call that?” “High fwequency cuwwent cake,” said Johnny, knowingly. THE FIRST maßn to dabble in B eliminators got the shock of his life. While demonstrating a Leyden jar in 1745, Peter Van Musschen Broock charged the jar with static electricity, and then dared to touch the terminals. He was instantly and effectually eliminated as an experimenter for the remainder of that day., COMMUNICATION was established with fourteen amateur stations in six states from an aeroplane dying in Canada recently, as a result of tests planned by local radio experts. The greatest two way distance covered was with two amateurs in Oakmont, Pa., 500 miles away. Communication was maintained for an hour and a half whilst the craft was in the air. WHAT is believed to be a unique record in direct long distance communication was established recently when a message was transmitted almost from the South to the North Pole. It was a signal on 33 metres from the 3 kilowatt transmitter of a whaling ship in the South Pacific. The Bergen radio station on the west coast of Norway received the ’Message. It is figured that this message travelled 7000 nautical miles, or more than 8000 land miles. Eggs: “What’s the idea of the ladder effect on an aerial?” Ham: “That’s to help the signals climb up easier!” AMERICAN AMATEURS from district clubs and name them in various manners. A few of them are, “Browsville Racket Raisers,” “I Tappa Key,” “Busted Valve Club,” etc. The “Rag Chewers’ Club” is also well known as a branch has been formed in Australia. “HE NEARLY WAGGED Ns tail off,” wrote William J. Nelson, to Uncle Bas. The incident occurred when Uncle Bas called Mick, the dog. He pricked his ears up at the speaker as his name was mentioned, and when Uncle Bas whistled him, his bark drowned the loud speaker—and he nearly wagged his tail off with delight. MR. LLOYD-GEORGE and his daughter have given wireless sets to the North Wales Blind School at Rhyl, England. A WELL-KNOWN valve firm, advertising in “The Wireless World” (a British periodical), claims that the filaments of their valves are strong enough to hang pictures on, and are long enough to dry the week’s washing. IN SPITE of some opposition, the workhouses, one by one, throughout England, are being equipped with broadcast receivers. The latest is at Chesterfield, where the Guardians have decided to install apparatus in the infirmary and workhouse at an estimated cost of £290. MOVIE STARS are great radio fans, it would appear from a checkmade of the Los Angeles Evening Express Station KNX telephone calls. At least 25 per cent, of the hundreds of calls that come in requesting favorite pieces are from motion picture actors and actresses. IT HAS BEEN found that Canberra, the seat of the Federal Government, is almost a dead spot for radio reception. Canberra is 207 miles from Sydney, and is thus within the range of both Sydney and Melbourne stations, yet owners of even five and six valvers complain of bad reception, in which fading and static play no small part. Interruption is also very troublesome, but this can be accounted for by the huge powerhouse at Eastlake, ana also to the power lines running about Canberra. Further, the innumerable electrical machines, used in roadmaking and excavating, are likely to cause trouble. Several well-known personages at Canberra have smashed their wireless sets, or returned them, in disgust, and one official of the Federal Capital Commission smashed his five-valve set to pieces, and bought a pianola. Incidentally, his set was constructed specially to suit Canberra conditions. OLD TIME NIGHT. (By “Mintie.”) The old time tunes are stealing On the air from 3LO; Gay mazurkas, polkas, waltzes, From the misty long ago. How they cling about our heartstrings. Happy days we used to know, Come again in all their glory On the air, from 3LO. When perhaps the only ballroom Was a barn, but oh, how sweet Looked the lady of our dreamings, With her dainty tripping feet. And we thought the years had stolen All those joys we used to know, Till they came back with “Old Time Night” On the air, from 3LO.

Radio Exhibition Reviewed The completely electrified receiver has arrived\ We saw it at the Radio Exhibition. We also saw chassis-built and drum control sets, dynamic speakers , and photo-electric cells , but saw little evidence of the amateur experimenter —a new age of radio has arrived Refinements in electrically-operated receivers, compactness of design, and general adoption of the single-tuning control, are the outstanding developments revealed in an analysis of new radio styles on display last week, at the Radio Exhibition, in the Town Hall, Sydney. Fittingly, it has been said that radio engineers, interior decorators, and artists have worked hand in hand in developing the 1928 receiving sets. Last year, many people hesitated to buy light-socket sets, because of the contention that this type of instrument was in the experimental stage. Those who visited the Exhibition last weeks found about 30 per cent, of the new sets were electrified, and the other 70 per cent, designed to operate with batteries. The exhibitors say • that those desirous of purchasing batteryless receivers need not fear that the 1928 circuits are in the experimental stage, or that this type of set will require too frequent servicing. They contend that the development of new alternating current valves, and improvements made in rectifier valves, have made practical the building of dependable light-socket sets. However, it would be well for radio purchasers to be guided by the advice of a merchandiser’s oracle which recently sounded a warning to dealers, advising that they should proceed with caution in stocking alternating current receivers. “Consider the system employed, the construction of the unit, and the integrity of the manufacturer,” is the suggestion. This is excellent advice, to follow, not only. for dealers, but for the public buying any type of radio set, whether it be electrically or battery operated. It is expected that next year the percentage of electrical sets will be greater. However, there is no doubt that there will be a large demand for battery-operated receivers for many years to come, because the electric facilities are not available in every home. The great advantage of the light-socket set is in the fact that its power supply is available by the snap of a house lighting switch. Furthermore, there are no batteries to charge or replace, and the power supply is constant. The advantages pointed out for the batteries are “pure direct current, steady, quiet, noiseless, uniform operation, taking nothing from and adding nothing to radio reception —no line troubles or blown-out fuses can stop reception—-you need never miss a single concert from a battery- run receiver.” There is a large assortment of “A” and “B” eliminators, which enable sets designed for battery-operated Valves to take their power supply from the light-socket. To go a step further, the combination power «m--plifier-“B” eliminator has been developed. These devices plug into the receiving circuit after the first audio amplifier valve. They supply the “B” voltage for the set, and act as a power amplifier, which gives excellent tonal quality, and intensity that can be regulated from a whisper to volume sufficient to fill a large auditorium. The last audio valve in the set, which is generally of the power type, is not required when this instrument is employed. The metal chassis and shielding of circuits in individual compartments have been adopted on a general scale. The drum-control method of tuning is more popular than ever, because it affords the single adjustment which simplifies tuning. Tke wave-length readings appear through a tiny window, or slit in the panel. The old style of external dial is rapidly vanishing, and, within a year or two, it is likely to be an antique, along with the crystal set, which was popular in the early days of broadcasting. The old loud-speaker, with the horn, has also surrendered its popularity to the disk or cone loud-speaker, except in cases where a long air chamber or “exponential” type of horn is used that is entirely different from the old type of horn. The long air chamber horns, some of which measure as much as seven feet, give exceptional tonal quality, as do the latest cone designs. It was said last year that radio apparatus had been “simplified, standardised and made foolproof.” Refinements in instruments have enabled further simplification in construction and manipulation of the circuits; cooperation between the manufacturers and availability of patents have aided in further standardisation more sturdy construction and the lessens learned from having equipment Li use for another year have helped engineers to see how they can build the sets more foolproof. Thus the 1928 models are not likely to need the frequent attention of a service man. One of the largest and most interesting exhibits was that of the Railway and Tramway Department. This exhibit formed portion of a comprehensive display made by the Public Supply Authorities of N.S.W., at the instigation of the electrical branch of the Sydney division of the Institute of Engineers of Australia. Among the exhibits was shown a standard electric suburban railway carriage frame fitted with motors and electrical accessories, all of which were in action, the running wheels being packed above the rails. Other exhibits in operation show the automatic signalling apparatus (with which model trains are employed), interlocking apparatus, automatic telephones, high speed circuit breakers, and a large capacity oil switch, wire reclaiming machines, electric welders, coil forming and taping apparatus. The Randwick testing laboratories, in addition to many other laboratory instruments, showed an alarm device operated by interrupting and light ray falling upon a photo-electric cell. There was also a burglar alarm relay device, which sounded warning when, the safe was touched —no matter how lightly. Outside the exhibit and apart from receivers and components the 20-k.w. short wave transmitter used for Empire broadcasts, which was shown by Amalgamated Wireless, attracted the most attention.

The Electric Home, built to full scale, and complete with every electrical device, was the star exhibit in the Electrical Section. In it there was, in addition to the usual electric light and radiator service, electric fans, radio receiver, electric washing machine and copper, electric iron, bath and heater, and electric hot water service, cooking range, electric saucepan, kettle, griller, toaster, percolator, and special house telephone, and vacuum cleaner. The Amateur Experiments exhibit was smaller this year than in 1927 evidence that the Radio Exhibition is becoming more and more a manufacturers’ business, and less experimental. The Ham exhibit, though smaller, was no less interesting than previous showings. The novelty sets showed less originality than intricate workmanship and were noticeable for their complete finished quality; they will be described at some length and commented upon in the April “Radio.” Stand 1. The variety and workmanship of the Gilfillan Neutrodynes on view at Harringtons’ stand attracted most enthusiasts. The completeness and compact neatness of the smaller all-electric console model was outstanding among the new year receivers. The Radio and Gramophone Model and the large drawing-room receiver, were excellent in workmanship, both inside and out. Stand 2. The Lawrence and Hansen Co. confined their exhibit on Stand 2 to Wireless Accessories and Sets. Prominent was the range of British Sterling Loud Speakers. There were also several new models of Sterling Speakers, together with types already popular on the Australian market. Stand S. A comprehensive display by Messrs. Bennett and Wood of a wide variety of components, including the C.A.V. loudspeaker, batteries, etc., and the Stewart Warner matched receivers, attracted attention here. Stand 3a. The' new magnetic cones and the power dynamic speakers employing the floating cone principal, operated from a |6 volt accumulator, or the house mains, drew many curious eyes at Mick Simmons’ stand. These loudspeakers reproduce faithfully, the whole of the musical sounds or frequencies emitted by the broadcasting stations. The power loudspeakers are housed in a special cabinet, so that they can be moved from room to room. This feature is very desirable when required for dance functions. Mick Simmons are also featuring an electric Radio Phonograph combination. It is made possible by the use of the Magnavox Power Speaker, used in conjunction with a Magnavox 6 Valve Radio Set—electrically equipped, and a Bosch Record Pick-up. Stand 3a stood out among the rest for the manner in which it silently advocated better reproduction. Stand 4. The Australian General Electric Co. exhibited a wide range of R.C.A. receivers. Visitors found special interest in the Model 30A R.C.A. Receiver, which .is an 8-valve super-heterodyne receiver operating direct from A.C. current. The Custom-built Cabinet of this receiver gives it an appearance that is only equalled by its performance. The R.C.A. Receiver Model 32 is another super-heterodyne A.C. operated receiver. Built 'into its cabinet" fs the famous R.C.A. power speaker model 104. It brings in all Inter-state stations in full loudspeaker strength. The Model 28 8-valve super-heterodyne set is operated by dry batteries, while the 17 is a 6-valve A.C. operated set, which in its compactness and simplicity is twelve-months ahead of anything of its kind. Most attractive of all, however, was the neat Model 16—a 6-valve receiver that gives astonishing volume on long-distance reception, and is the last word in compactness and simplicity. The radio exhibit is concluded with Model 104 and 100 A. R.C.A, loudspeakers, the former being a!power speaker employing its own

THERE is no doubt about Progress! The world continues on its orbit through the vast universe, bearing on its continents its countless populations. Those populations may be apathetic to evolution in many cases, but in the great majority is a craving for a better scientific knowledge. It is impossible to retard Progress; and the Radio and Electrical Exhibition, at the Sydney Town Hall, is evidence of man’s progressiveness, and, what is particularly pleasing, evidence of the advancement of Australia in Radio and Electrical Science. What a contrast to the exhibition of two years ago! Many receiving instruments exhibited in 1926 were considered the last word; but to-day, they would not be tolerated. The Australian Radio manufacturer has risen to the occasion, by providing for his public, at a price available to all, instruments which are simple in operation, extremely efficient, and, in addition, a beautiful piece of household furniture! In fact, I quite believe that many housewives will probably turn down one instrument for another because the colour or design of the cabinet does not match the new Axminster carpet! As in the motor car trade, so with Radio. Productions are so excellent that the fair sex is the deciding factor in many cases! It is irrepressible for me to compare this exhibition with others of bygone days, including the majesty of Wembley in 1924. There is something strongly reminiscent of Wembley in the instructive and educative display by the Public Authorities in the lower hall. Shades of the Palace of Engineering! Here one may see and examine the intricacies of the train or tram one rides to business in; complicated railway signalling systems; the operation of the photo-electrical cell; all made possible by the utilisation of the same latent force which has made Radio communication possible, namely the Electron. Radio and Electrical Engineering are like the Siamese Twins; "One is not possible without the other." Exhibitions are truly expressive of mankind's scientific development. During 1924, I well remember Australian visitors to Wembley paying extortionate prices for broadcast receivers which today, in Australia, are valueless. In 1928, they may buy in their own country receivers for a quarter of the price which are at least 200 per cent. more efficient in every way. They are to be seen on every hand in the 1928 Exhibition, in the Sydney Town Hall. Component parts for the home constructor gladden his heart with their engineering skill, and he does not need to dive very far into his pocket to obtain the essential for that super set he has been contemplating. The evolution of the heart of the radio receiver, the valve, is displayed in all its glory on various stands, and it is truly wonderful to compare the modern valve, with its constancy and stability, with its brothers of but a few years ago. Radio has come to stay; and this exhibition will be followed by others in the future, and, wonderful as it is now, one can visualise the rapid advent of Television, when visitors to the exhibition will, in all probability, be able to see actual happenings in far-off countries taking place before their eyes.

valves to amplify the reception, while the latter Model succeeds the famous rModel 100 speaker, to the new principles of which have been added new notable refinements. Stand 5. Stand 6. I The Clyde battery stand drew many furious eyes. A complete battery (“assembling bench was on view, and a minature moving picture screen showed the huge. Clyde plant in detail. Radio batteries were represented j by two volt, four volt and six volt series. The two volt series, are designed especially for dull emitter valves, although special connecting links are provided so that either two or three two volt units may be connected together to function as either four volt or six volt batteries. The four volt series is constructed for use with radio sets employing the four [volt type of valves, which are very numerous on the market. . About the most popular type of ( Clyde radio batteries is the 6CR type, a six volt battery intended for 201 A and the other types of valves drawing over four volts on the filament. All of these types of batteries, including car batteries and home-lighting batteries, were on view, and ready for examination. Stand 7. Right opposite Clyde was the Ever-ready stand showing the complete series, including torchlight batteries. All the Ever-ready batteries were made in Sydney, and users of this class of goods like the idea of fresh batteries. Radio batteries, both A, B and C, were well to the fore. Owners of radio sets were interested in the new types of heavy duty and super service B batteries. These were something out of the ordinary, and for them was claimed trouble-free reception and long life. Stand 8. A comprehensive display by the fairly well known Cossor valve firm. Of interest was the? point one series. Stand 9. Devoted mostly to domestic. appliances, Noyes Bros.’ stand held some interest for radio enthusiasts in the Igranie, Brown, Oldham and Columbia goods. It is a pity these are, not more widely known, for there is some good English stuff in them. Stand 10. Wondertone receivers were the principal receivers on view at W. H. Wiles —fairly interesting sets for the prices quoted. Stand 11. The A.W.A. display attracted a great deal of attention. For finish and quality the Australian-built receivers matched any of the imported receivers in the exhibition. In addition to the Radiola standard 6, Senior 6, and Super 8, there were here introduced for the first time, two entirely new models. These were the Radiola Straight Six, a six valve table cabinet instrument for either battery or power socket operation, and the Screened Six, a six valve receiver supplied in handsome floor cabinet and also suitable for either battery or power socket operation. The new models are “Single Control,” tuning being on one dial only. Both types feature the most modern developments in receiver design, and are remarkable for volume and purity of reproduction. In the models using batteries the new Marconi valves are featured. The Screened Six, in addition to the above excellent features, is notable for its selectivity. Special interest also centred around the new Ideal Distortionless Transformer, the Logarithmic (centraline) Condenser, and \ the Non-microphonic Valve Socket, which were manufactured at' the Company’s Works in Sydney. Stand 12. Radiair Receiving Sets on view here are already well known to the public. Stand 13. An impressive display of radio products was shown by New System Telephones Pty., Ltd. Here were seen some of the finest New System model sets, notable both for engineering and the cabinet making. Their tone was delightful, and excellent in respect of both volume and distance. Shielded and chassis built on a cast aluminium frame, and conal bearings. Most luxurious of all was the newly added electric model entirely batteryless, and built in minus the ordinary type of eliminator substitutes. Burgess made a distinctive showing of batteries from the tiny aeroplane size to the Super-navy type. These batteries were exact replicas of those used in the many adventures on land, sea, and in air, for which they have become famous. Neat, new, and of interest to all, was the Acme Socket Power—a “B” battery eliminator of exceptional features. Three types were shown enabling the running of one to 12 valves from alternating or direct house lighting electric current. Stand 14. Anthony Hordern and Sons’ display of domestic appliances and receiving sets. ■ Stand 15. An attractive display of Radio and Electric Domestic Appliances were exhibited by W. G. Watson. The principal item was the new Sonochorde Cone Loudspeaker. This is, indeed, a wonderful reproducer, and every radio enthusiast should look it over. The new Majestic “B” supply unit was also being displayed. This will deliver current for loads up to twelve 201 A tubes or equivalent and brings out the full tonal strength, yet with ample filtering capacity to positively eliminate the A.C. “hum.” The new Handy trickle-Booster charger, the Simplex A and the Ultra Handy A and B Chargers were also shown. Stand 16. Standard Telephones exhibited an enormously powerful loud speaking equipment operating the loudspeakers installed outside the Town Hall, a 10ft. 6in. loudspeaker, part of the above; the latest in super heterodynes; giant water-cooled transmitting valves; typewriters operated by electricity; an automatic private telephone exchange in operation; telephone train controlling equipment; Amateur Section Prizes. 1.

 * Stand 5 was Lawrence and Hanson’s electrical household appliances display.

vacuum cleaners which clean, mop and polish electrically—a most absorbing display. Stand 17. A shipload of new apparatus was on view at Philips’ stand. Chief among the new valves were the A 635 and A 435, designed to give an exceedingly high amplification of R.F. signals without the need for special stablising and neutralising devices. Used in cascade they can be stablilised by very simple devices on account of their extremely low internal capacity which has been reduced to about 60 per cent, of that usually present in the average valve. Showing also were the new “Mini-watt” Power Valves—B4o9 and 8405 —both for operation from a 4 volt accumulator, and remarkably economical in current consumption. An Audio Transformer—a new product of Philips’ laboratories—was also showing. The overall dimensions of the transformer are small, and the design compact. Practically the whole weight is in the special alloy of which the core is composed, and so careful has been the design that not only is even amplification obtained q from 200 to 10,000 cycles, but there is small possibility of saturation. Ratio is 3 : 1 and if preceded by the Philips’ “Four Fifteen” the average “step up” is 45 per stage. Other apparatus showing included the Philips’ Power Plus B and the B and C., the Philips’ Trickle Charger, and the P.C.J.J. Junior Loudspeaker. Stand 18. Keogh showed an all-electric super set of excellent design, and also a radio-phonograph combination. Some really good Australian-made and moderately-priced receivers. Stand 19. Stromberg Carlson featured their well-known radio receivers, audiola portables, jewell measuring instruments and tube checkers, general radio laboratory instruments, kester radio solder, beanco radio arresters, etc. The 5 and 6 valve shielded neutrodynes, with or without loop operation, and operated wholly from the electric light socket were interesting. Stand 20. Metropolitan Electric Co., Ltd., an enterprising concern which is concentrating al its efforts on the manufacture of high-tfjlass radio-frequency components, and various types of coils, tuners, and coil kits for inclusion in receivers embracing modern efficient circuits, addressed its exhibit mainly to the home constructor and experimenter who assembles his own receivers. Various receiving sets were on show to illustrate the method ®f utilising these excellent coil kits. Enquiring amateurs were shown and had explained to them the intricacies of kits for such popular and up to the minute circuts as the short wave, 1928 Browning-Drake, Perridyne, Solodyne, Triplex Circloid-de- Luxe, and three stage Radiokes-Freshman type. Stand 21. Everything dear to the heart of the radio enthusiast was handsomely displayed by Manufacturers’ Products Pty., Ltd. Emmco radio parts are already well known to the radio public, but as it is possible that some people had not previously inspected the latest lines, a full display of which was given on the stand. The ABC eliminators and “B” battery eliminators interested to those who had not yet fitted these instruments to their receivers. The ABC eliminators are made in two types, one to function with valves to take .25 amps, on the filament, and one with .06 amps, on the filament. The super power elminator shown is designed for eliminating “B” batteries in multi-valve sets, while the regular “B” battery elminator functions with sets having up to 5 valves. Among these Emmco products was also to be seen the Two Dial Drum Control, three different makes of Emmco transformer, several lines of condensers, headphones, Emmco-stads, etc. There was also a comprehensive showing of Airzone and Baldwin products. Stand 22. Australian Westinghouse Electric Co. displayed household appliances here. Stand 23. Burginphone receivers with many new features. Stand 24. Colville Moore with a showing of receivers of excellent quality and moderately priced. Most of this company’s apparatus is already well know to radio enthusiasts, but new models with improvements attracted considerable attention. Stand 25. Hecla Electric’s domestic and house-hold appliances. Stand 26. Amateur exhibit previously commented upon. Stand 27. The new Amplion cone and cabinet speakers with the exception of the more elaborate and costly dynamic speakers constituted the finest display of reproducing units in the show. The Chippendale mahogany model and the Jacobean oak model were remarkable for their cabinet work, as well as their reproductive qualities. The absence of over ornamentation and the strong lines of the designs are in fine taste. The new cones and the hanging models are cheaper, but only! because of less detail in the workmanship not because of inferior reproduction. Stand 28. Mullard linked up with Ferranti' here in a display of valves complete! in every way. Mullard valves are noted for their low consumption of current, and since the introduction of dull-emitter valves, they have always: been the leaders in producing valves' of this type. A complete range of Mullard transmitting valves from 5 watt up to the Silica valves of 6000 watts intermittent dissipation were shown. Mullards are an entirely! British organisation, and their valves! are entirely made at their factory at Balham, London. They pride themselves on the fact that they are of British origin. Ferranti displayed transformers, j Stand 33. The big American firm’s wide range of receivers were on view here.! Beautiful in appearance, with simplicity of design and sturdiness of construction, the Model 35 Six Valve One; Dial Receiver stood out from the rest. The cabinet of the Model 32 Seven Valve Receiver is of solid mahogany, finished in rich dark brown. The front panel is of metal with a brown mat surface, which brings out the sparkling sheen of the brown bake-] lite dial and rheostat knobs. Nameplate, battery switch and vernier knob are all of gold plate. All together this combination of colors and finishes gives to the Model 32 truly an air of unobtrusive elegance. Stand 35. G. C. Beardsmore here with the new TE KA DE Valves. Sets of varied types employing the new TE KA DE valves were displayed and shown in course of construction. One of these sets which commanded attention was the TE KA DE 1-valve receiver, which gives full loudspeaker reception. Other sets of interest, such as Neutrodyne, Reinartz, etc., in course of construction and completed, go to'make a display of interest to both the home constructor and listener in. At intervals during the evenings an exhibit of a radio mechanic at work will be given, and he will be only too pleased to give information and assistance to inquirers. Stands 29, 30, 31, 32, 34, 34a, 35a, 36, 37, etc., were devoted to electrical apparatus and public displays.

Dear Sir, —I recently purchased a wireless set; with much pride it was installed, and I settled myself in a comfortable chair, earphones in place, and commenced to twirl the different knobs. Stations came fast and furious. What I heard was something like this: “Station 2FC, Sydney. Mr. Gopops will now speak on. . ‘the night .1 bid theeeeee farewell’. . at the Flemington saleyards. . I can honestly say without prejudice. . cod fish sold for 85/- per basket. . . . aaaaand while theee pale moon gleamed above. .

God Save the King. ,, good-night, gooooood night.” Yours, etc., H. MASON. SUGGESTS YEARLY VOTE. Dear Sir, —I have noticed quite a number of letters appearing in “Wireless Weekly” lately in regard to church services being broadcast. I am against any reduction being made in the services that are now broad- cast. It was only a few weeks ago that you took a vote through your valuable paper, and the greater number were satisfied to go on having the services broadcast, just as they are doing. It now seems that one or two want to control the programmes, and have the companies put on programmes for their selfish ends. I think the public are well catered for in jazz music, without bringing it in on Sundays. To those people who are not satisfied with the Sunday programmes, I say they are not sports. I like the religious programmes, but if the voting had shown in favor of alteration, I would have taken it as a sport and said nothing. I say the companies—2BL and 2FC, would be doing an injustice to the greater number of listeners if they made any alteration without having another vote, which I feel sure would count in favor of religion. I would suggest a vote every 12 months, and be satisfied. I am, Yours, etc., G. WODSON. Hamilton. ♦ : CO-OPERATION IMPOSSIBLE. Dear Sir, —The letter of B.V.R.G. in “Wireless Weekly” under the heading, “Why not Sunday Co-operation between 2FC and 2BL?” is evidently the product of very little consideration, and it seems to me that such opinions as his are clearly indicative of selfishness and are decidedly ungenerous. There are many thousands of people in N.S.W. who enjoy the sacred services on a Sunday more than any other feature of the broad- cast programmes. Surely, then, these people may be permitted to have their wishes recognised on one day in the week, considering that the other six days are devoted entirely to secular programmes. B.V.R.G. is evidently not a church-goer, and does not appear to sympathise with the religious section of the community. I would like him to remember, however, that in the outback portions of this State and others where there are no churches to attend, the services broadcast on a Sunday are greatly appreciated and relished by those who justly realise that some devotion is necessary in their lives. In these modern times there are many, of course, who are apt to forget about religion, but they must not forget that there are still living many elderly people who belong to a more devotional generation than that of the present day. Many of these with increasing age find much pleasure in listening to the broadcast services. 8.V.R.G., also, was possibly in a state of oblivion when writing his letter, since he seems to regard the religious section of the community as a single body employing the same system of devotion. He fails to remember that this one body consists of the adherents of several vastly different denominations. Many listeners-in are generally very particular as to what kind of service they are listening to. It would be surprising if one were to find a Roman Catholic listening to a Methodist service were one being broadcast from a church of his own denomination. The same applies to the Baptists, Congregationalists, Anglicans and Presbyterians. Hence, 8.V.R.G., I hope, will understand that where he cannot observe any co-operation between 2FC and 2BL on a Sunday, nevertheless it undoubtedly exists. If he looks at the respective programmes of the two “A” class stations on a Sunday, he will invariably find that the services broadcast differ ' in denominational respects. Were one of these services abolished it would mean that probable dissatisfaction would arise amongst the disfavored denominations. B.V.R.G. also says that an extremely optimistic estimate of the number of church-goers in N.S.W. is one per cent, of the population. I certainly question the reliability of the source of his information in this respect. I have reason to believe that at the very lowest five per cent, of the population attend church services regularly. To sum up, I think it would be a gross injustice to abolish one of the church services on a Sunday. If B.V.R.G. is not satisfied with the amount of secular entertainment he receives, I suggest that some of the tiring race results should be cut out and other items introduced in their place. Personally, I find a good deal of variation in the Sunday programmes, as both 2FC and 2BL regularly have band items and studio concerts interspersed between the religious services, or introduced when the services are over. Yours, etc., R.S.L.R. Burwood.

B. O'Brien's Letter Raises Safety Valve Storm 2FC FOR EVER. BEYOND UNDERSTANDING. Dear Sir, —After reading and rereading B. O’Brien’s letter (“Wireless Weekly” 16/3/28), I must still state that I cannot see his point yet; the letter resolves itself into a lot of rot to me. Firstly, he says that he departs from the usual of “receivers, and how to get the best out of them.” Well when did he write on this subject. I do remember his letter on improved 4QG, yet in this one he calls them the worst station in the Commonwealth. This was the letter in which he described himself as an experimenter because he works a 4 valve set. But what I cannot understand is that he states that 2FC’s wave has been increased one or two metres. Now this would actually make 2FC on 444 metres and 3AR on 484, and yet he says that he cannot separate them with a difference of 40 metres separating the two. Then he complains that they are received 4 degrees apart on his set. Can he blame the stations for that? B. O’Brien states that on his set 4 degrees on the condenser is equal to 40 metres. Now, therefore, 2 metres will equal 1/5 of a sixteenth of an inch, which is I-80th of an inch. Now, how can he tell of any increase in 2FC’s wavelength on these conditions. He says his set is selective, yet it cannot separate stations 40 degrees apart. Personally, if ever it did happen that I had trouble with my Browning-Drake, it would not be B. O’Brien that I would get advice from. Yours faithfully, “COMMON SENSE.” Sydney. — 2FC STRONG AND CLEAR. Dear Sir, —In answer to Mr. O’Brien’s letter concerning 2FC, I have been tuning in this station regularly for the past nine months and have so far failed to notice any alteration in their wavelength, and have had no trouble with distortion from their transmission. I consider them equal to 3LO, these two stations being miles ahead of all others, their daylight reception being exceptionally strong and clear. Perhaps Mr. O’Brien finds more trouble on account of being closer to 2FC, as I can tune in 4YA, Dunedin, which is situated between 2FC and 3AR, without any interference, which shows there is a big gap on the dial between the two latter stations. I use a King 6 Neutrodyne. Yours, etc., E.C.C. Bethungra, N.S.W. Dear Sir, —The letter of your correspondent, B. O’Brien, rouses me to take up the cudgels on behalf of 2FC, it being our experience that 2FC is easily the best and most reliable station for transmission, and our opinion that its programmes, on the average, are of a higher standard than those of 3LO, which periodically slips badly with quite inferior artists, and also interrupts its evening programmes with too many domestic announcements of interest only to Melbourne listeners, which might better be given before 2 p.m. Also one is inclined to think that that locality is responsible for his complaint of blurred reception (as with us 2BL is liable to this fault), and surely his set is responsible for the seeming varying wavelength, not the least variation being noticed here for the past nine months—3Aß coming in absolutely distinctly; in fact, one could not confuse them if one tried. Yours, etc., (Signed) A. E. COWLEY (Mrs.) Stanthorpe. Q., + SCRAP B-D SET. Dear Sir, —Re Mr. B. O’Brien’s complaint that 2F*C wanders from its wave-length a little, and that reception from that station is “Blurred,” etc., also that it interferes with 3AR. From these, and other complaints, and statements made, I think B. O’Brien has wandered not a little, but quite a lot, off his “wavelength.” He goes on to say that listeners may think his set is not working correctly, and I think they would be quite in order, by saying so, when he makes such statements as the following. He says, 4QG has the worst modulation in the Commonwealth, yet his set brings it in perfectly, and every word (although distorted) is heard and clearly understood. If distorted, how in the name of goodness, is the reception “perfect.” He also states 2FC have “probably” increased their wavelength one or two metres (according to his set, I take it), and they interfere with 3AR. Even if the wavelength has varied (on his set), 2 metres, he still has 40 metres between the two stations. All I can say to this so called “interference,” Mr. O’Brien, is “scrap” your B.D. set, or have it remodelled. If all sets required over 40 metres to separate stations, we would want a tolerably large waveband to accommodate a few B.C. stations. Mr. O’Brien goes on to say the B.D. is sensitive and selective. Well built, it certainly is sensitive, but selective, no. It is the great weakness of the B-Drake. He certainly contradicts his own statement by saying he gets interference between 2FC and 3AR with at least 40 metres between them. “Nuff” said about selectivity. About 3LO being the “best” station in the Commonwealth, that, Mr. O’Brien, is quite a matter of opinion, and even if so (on your set), why not “listen in” to them, and not worry about 2FC and their “wandering wavelength.” By the way, did you ever try a “wave trap,” they are undoubtedly an acquisition on sets that are "broad” in the tuning “if you get a good one.” Yours, etc., Selectivity. Leura. • —♦ ORDER OF BUREAUCRATS. Dear Sir, —In this week’s issue appears a very pertinent letter by Robt. C. Wren. I, also, wrote to the Listeners’ League, 12 months ago, and am still awaiting a reply. I will be only too pleased to join Mr. Wren in a live contemporary, for it is necessary that something be done to wake up and shake up the Sydney Studio Managers. They have become autocrats and bureaucrats of the first order, and progress to them is anathema. Just look at the sopranos they engage. There is not one really first-class singer. One or two are passable, but the remainder would never dare to appear on a public platform. In the studio, they are safe from the anger of the audience. When will the managers learn that relays from theatres are absolute rot. Firstly, unless they have several microphones in different parts of the wings, one cannot follow the voices. Secondly, the laughter of the audience is distracting to radio listeners; and, thirdly, musical comedies are written for the eye, and not the ear. On top of that, 2FC have broadcast one act of the “Girl Friend” five times. Further, why do they engage anyone who happens to come along with a “short talk,” regardless of the voice? Some of the lecturers, particularly women, have no idea of how to speak before a microphone; these same people cannot speak into a telephone, and think the louder they shout the sweeter their voices will be. Do you know, Sir, that three years ago, the programmes from 2FC were 50 per cent, better than to-day? Yours, etc., W. YOUNG.

Early April Attractions at 3LO. THOSE who go away for the Easter holidays, and those who stay at home, will only have to tune in 3LO to pass away many happy and interesting hours. Campers, the boarding-house crowd and the family circle will find the special Easter holiday programmes most acceptable. The sacredness of Easter will not be overlooked by 3LO, and full arrangements have been made to ensure for listeners every opportunity for being present in spirit, if not in person, at the special services in the big Melbourne churches. On the musical side, adequate provision will be made for dancers (an important consideration with weekenders at the seaside, in the country, and at home), and for lovers of choral and solo singing. The instrumental representation will be strong, too, so listeners are assured of a wealth and variety of musical programmes during Easter. Easter, too, is an occasion for big sporting events, chief among which rank racing and athletics. The big Doncaster meeting on Sydney on Easter Saturday, and the Cup meeting on the Monday, will be fully recorded by 3LO, and other important fixtures will be fitted in. So, from the wireless aspect, anyway, listeners who tune in 3LO can rest assured of their every need being satisfied. RAILWAYS INSTITUTE ORCHESTRA: The Victorian Railways Institute Orchestra will broadcast from 3LO on the evening of Wednesday, April 11th. ELSTERNWICK CHOIR ON THE AIR: The Elsternwick Methodist Male Choir will sing from SLO on the night of Wednesday, April 11th. This popular choir is well known to listeners. OPERA SINGERS TO BROADCAST: Galloway and Hayden, members of J. C. Williamson’s No. 2 Opera Company, will begin a brief season at 3LO on Monday, April Bth. Both are gifted singers, and listeners should be sure to make a special note of the times of their appearances. LUMSDEN, THE WHISPERING BARITONE: Jack Lumsden, the whispering baritone, of Tivoli fame, will begin a season at 3LO on April Bth. He has won his way into the hearts of vaudeville fans, as he will do into the hearts of listeners on the air. rnvSi SUNDAY AFTERNOON CONCERTS: The Sonora Sunday afternoon concerts, from 2 to 3, con-mue to meet with general approval, the programme for April 8 is especially interesting. Famous composers,and all the latest releases, are featured in these concerts. SfUCIA L GOOD FRIDAY PROGRAMMES: Appropriate programmes will be broadcast from 3LO on Good Friday, April 6th. Special services wnl be held in all the churches, and 3LO will arrange for country listeners to be present in spirit at- them, through the medium of wireless. THERE IS ALWAYS some new feature in the women’s hour broadcast from 3LO from 11 till 12 every morning, and this accounts largely for the popularity of the now firmly-established service. It is the women’s own special wireless programme. During April there will be a series of talks on “Domestic Architecture” by women architects. Every phase of this most interesting subject will be touched upon by experts who know their work, and the things that women want to know. Another series of talks on Child Welfare will be given by leading kindergarten workers during the same months, and promises to be equally interesting. These are two subjects which should add to the popularity of an already indispensible feature. Mr. E. F. Retter, entertainer and violinist, who is to broadcast from 3LO a series of versions of great stories. IT IS HOPED that those two popular noveltv stars, Rupert Hazell and t jls * e Da y, who made such a hit with dLO listeners a little while ago, will return for a season at the studio. Roth 3LO and listeners would be delighted if they did, and they might,too. Listeners are advised to watch out for further announcements. and parents all over Victoria are watching the seeds given away in the special 3LO packets develop into plants. In this most interesting feature, every child received a packet of assorted seeds with a birthday card, and parents were allowed to join in the fun if they applied by letter, enclosing a lid. stamp. 3LO has done much in this way to stimulate interest in gardening. THE SUCCESSFUL world range short wave tests being conducted by 3LO have interested wireless listeners in all parts of the world. That is a plain statement of fact, and it is not surprising that among the shoals of leters received from overseas there are some of outstanding interest. One of these arrived in the last mail from France, and, how the staff wished Opperman was about to translate it for them, for it was in French! Then the studio manager (Mr. Bearup) came on the scene, and he gave the staff a surprise, for he read the letter as easily as if French were his native tongue.. Which just goes to prove that being a wireless studio manager requires more than a vast knowledge of wireless and business problems. j MISS AGNES FORTUNE (popularly known as SLO’s Miss-Fortune), the well-known accompanist at 3LO, Melbourne, has returned to her Steinway at the studio, after spending a pleasant holiday at the seaside. Letters in Every Language. It is an interesting experience to dip into the foreign mail bag of 3LO. Letters in many languages are received, and require elucidation. All are evidence of the pleasure the writers have received since 3LO began to cater for long-range listeners. This short-range weekly programme of 3LO has had a distinct technical advantage. Countless listeners have written their acknowledgments. Australia has become a real country, rather than a legendary land, since these experiments have proved so successful.

Notes on the Women’s Session By Mrs. Jordan of 2BL O-DAY I met over two hundred of my listeners who each came laden with entries for our Women’s Section Exhibit at the Radio Exhibition. It will be very difficult for the Judges to decide which is the best Fruit cake, for the entries sent in this afternoon are excellent. The sponge sandwich is beyond reproach, and has been made with great care and skill. Dozens of jars of preserves and jellies prove that our housewives have taken full advantage of the glut in fruit. The needlework section of the Exhibit indicates that Dorcas still holds pride of place in the home, some of the entries are among the best that have ever been exhibited in Sydney at any show. The best example of this Art has been sent in by an Invalid at Waterfall, who has been bed ridden all her life. This is a piece of Roman Cut, which is as nearly perfect as human hands can make. The sweets exhibit is one of the best in the show. It comprises candied lemon and orange peel, candied figs; marsipan fruits of all varieties. One courageous entrant has arranged a breakfast, eggs and bacon, all of Marsipan. No one should miss seeing this very wonderful exhibit. Poker-work trays, vases and collar boxes are displayed in the Arts and Craft Section, and purses and bags made from crepe paper rope. The women declare that their entries are sent in “as a tribute to Mrs Jordan,” and I am very grateful to them. FOOD VALUES AND WHAT THEY ARE AND HOW TO CALCULATE THEM. Three days in each week we have discussion on the subject of food and its value as fuel, as a body builder; and how the different kinds of 4 food fill these needs. Without having a knowledge of the three known Vitamines or any other accessory Food Factor, still, we believe the average housewife needs only to be reminded of the fact that a varied diet of fruit, milk, and wheat, will provide the various body building foods necessary for the children’s health. We are inclined to agree with the old Philosopher who says, “there seemed to be something necessary to life in that part of the husk of the wheat grain which appears in whole meal bread, and not in white.” There are many ingredients in diet important to appetite, and most of us would lose a great part of our interest in food if they were not there. Miss Kathleen Jordan, daughter of Mrs. Jordan, who talks on sweet-making at 2BL. WATCH YOUR WEIGHT. For the benefit of the many Listeners who are worried about their weight, the following table will be helpful. This information is not for the thin woman, I am not particularly interested in her, for I cannot get her point of view, how anyone who is thin can want to alter her condition is beyond my comprehension. This is a simple method which may be used to calculate your weight, your ideal weight, I should say, if you have no table available:— Multiply the number of your inches over sft. by and add 110. Example: sft. 4ins. —4 by 5 \ equals 22; add 110, equals 132, or 9st. 61bs. Find what your weight should be, according to your height, and “Watch Your Calories.” SAFETY FIRST. Dr. Harvey Sutton, Chief Medical Officer of the Educational, is giving very helpful and instructive lectures from our Session. He is at the moment giving a series of talks on Infective Diseases. We are told how to prevent and check infection. There is now no need for whole families to be “down” with Measles and Whooping Cough. The most simple and easy methods are advised. Next week we shall be listening to a talk on “Safety First.” Mothers of young children should not miss any of these very useful talks, which are given each Wednesday at 11.$0. ‘SWEETMAKING” interests all parents who manage to find a little time to manufacture these dainties. Miss Kathleen Jordan, daughter of Mrs. Jordan, who manages the Women’s Session at 2BL, is ably carrying out the necessary instructions for sweetmaking from 2BL every Friday, from 3.30 to 4 p.m. Interest has increased since it was announced that prizes are to be given for the best manufactured sweets which will be shown at the Radio Exhibition. Three separate prizes are offered for this class, whilst Mrs. Jordan herself is running a similar competition for jam, embroidery, preserves, lacquer, raffia, batik, crepe work, scissor painting, cakes, etc., etc. Letters have been received from intending competitors as far away as Queensland. One lady,, writing to Miss Jordan, says:—“Owing to a very severe storm here this afternoon it was impossible to listen-in to your very interesting and valuable talks on sweetmaking. I am so sorry I missed your recipes and hints, as I am looking forward to entering for the competition, and as the sweets must be made tbe recipes you broadcast, I am feeling a bit lost. I do not like to ask you to give your talk over again, as it must be very tiring for you, and also for the listeners that managed to receive the recipes. “I thought perhaps some kind person might let me have to-day’s recipes. Am I asking too much, and is it a terrible thing to do? I am trying to save your valuable time, and am so very interested.” Another lady writing asks: —“I have made the fondant; now, what shall I do with it, c: what could I make out of it, please?” Then “Dolores” writes:—“As I cannot always listen-in to your delightful talks, Miss Jordan, I should be glad if you could give me further information regarding the ‘Sweets Exhibit’ at the forthcoming Radio Exhibition; also, please let me know whether exhibits become the property of the competitor. My aunt would like to send in her effort in the ‘Preserves’ section. I will be waiting for a reply on Friday next, at 3 p.m., as usual. I have been very successful with recipes, which we enjoy very much. “Wishing you and 2BL all you would wish for yourselves, I am, etc., Dolores.” “I would like to enter for the three different sweetmaking competitions,” writes another enthusiast. “Not,” she adds, “that I am greedy, but the more the merrier!”

It' s All in the Air Coming Features in the Broadcasting Programmes HOLY WEEK MUSIC. THE feature of the special programme of holy week music, to be broadcast by 2FC from St. Francis Church, Albion-street, on Palm Sunday evening, Ist April, is William Byrd’s “Turbarum Voces.” Byrd holds an unchallenged dignity among the leading polyphonists of England. With Palestrina, Vittoria, Lasso, Gibbons, Lotti, Tallis, etc., his genius commands international recognition. He has been 'criticised severely for indulging in license in composition which was anathema to his continental contemporaries, but in this respect, he followed the practice of the English school which preceded him. It is remarkable that though his life extended so far into the 17th century, he remained entirely untouched by the changed ideas which inspired the Italian vogue after the death of Palestrina. In all his work there is a strong individuality, and the dignity and poignant beauty of his Latin music is one of his most attractive characterises. “Turbarum Voces” (the yells of the rabble clamoring after the death of Christ) is a setting for three voices of the fourteen choral portions of the Passion of Our Lord, according to St John xviii-xix., 1-24. The opening chorus portrays Christ in the Garden, confronting and confusing His enemies. The succeeding numbers feature the tyranny of a maddened mob stampeding the craven irresolution of Pilate. The final chorus leaves the murderers at the foot of the Cross, gambling for the garments of the crucified Redeemer. This classic example of polyphonic construction will be rendered by St. Francis choir, under the conductorship of Rev. G. Ellis Herlihy, who directed the singing at the Eucharistic Congress rehearsal at Erskineville, on Sunday, 4th March. The choir has some very fine performances to its credit, and the well-merited position it now holds is due entirely to his artistic musicianship and untiring effort. The artists assisting are Oliver King, soloist Philharmonic Societies, Sydney and Melbourne, and Kathleen Fitzgerald. The programme will be directed by Mr. T. Talty. « —- TEACHERS’ ANNUAL CONFERENCE: Cyril Monk will deliver a short address in connection with the forthcoming Teachers’ Conference, which is held annually, from 2FC Studio, on evening of Friday, 30th March. The Rev. Father E. Ellis Herlihy, who will conduct the St. Francis Choir when they are broadcast from 2FC shortly. MADAME ADA BAKER’S PUPILS are coming along to 2FC Studio on evening of 30th March to amuse the children. The “littlest broadcaster,” Joan Punch, will, of course, have a special message for her countless small radio friends. THE LADY WHO hides behind the nom de plume of “E.H. of Erskineville,” is emphatic that Church services shall not be curtailed. In her opinion, this is a transmission eminently suited to the three Sunday sessions. That she listens regularly is evidenced by the fact that on Monday morning along comes a postal note for 1/ to 2FC to be sent to the ecclesiastical body she names. Apparently her appreciation scorns the proverbial “threepence for the plate.” She is not denominational, but flits from one sect to another with equal generosity. POSSESSING a delightfully rich soprano voice of great power, Miss Vylma Mai, who has been entertaining thousands of listeners from 3AR Studio, has had rather a rapid rise in musical circles considering she is not yet out of her ’teens. During her brief musical career she has appeared before the footlights in many Melbourne Theatres and teachers of voice production, who have heard her sing, predict a very promising future. Some day Miss Mai is hoping to leave Australia’s shores, for the purpose of studying under the leading masters of the world. THE COMPETITION conducted by Miss H. J. Beegling in the Women’s Session resulted in over 200 letters being received from all over the State, on the subject, “How to be happy though married”—two prizes were awarded; the Ist an open order for £2/2/, won by Mrs. E. M. Stelzer, “Mozart,” Collaroy, and the 2nd an open order for £l/1/ to Mrs. Vere Boothman, 28 Dardanelles St., Mortdale. Talks from this station for the coming week, at 10.30 each morning, include “Care of the Feet,” by Mr. Dodds; “Arts and Crafts,” by Miss James; “Beauty Hints,” by Madame Esperance; the usual shopping guide, cooking recipes, Hollywood news, and other entertaining chats, by Miss Beegling, of Station 2GB. Any suggestions, recipes or hints will be welcomed by Miss Beegling; write to her c/o the studio. The winning letters will be read over the air from this station on Thursday evening, March 22nd, about 8.20 p.m. ALICE OF WONDERLAND: Commencing from Wednesday, March 28, Miss A. M. Shepherd, known to all listeners as “Alice of Wonderland,” will give a further supply of her fascinating animal and nature stories from 3AR. After years of seeking and delving into myth, folklore and the natural habits and conditions of many of our animals, insects, flowers, trees, fruit and stones, this Story Wizard links fact and fable together with artistic beauty classic to everyday life and common objects. Thus, interest, beauty and knowledge are gained from things of the daily round and common task. The creatures about us are lifted into our lives and the loneliness we all feel at times can be dispelled by the cry of a bird, a look from a pet, the beauty of a flower or even a change of wind, for all these things are linked with us from the cradle to the grave in legends such as Miss Shepherd demonstrates in her strange, rare stories, fairy tales and birthday greetings, are also woven into the Magic Cave Stories by “Alice of Wonderland.” A DEVICE that can be used as a fixed crystal, a transmitter microphone, an amplifier, a telephone, a stethoscope, a hand microphone, a» phonograph amplifier, a morse code practicing device, a talking light, a submarine signaller, a detector, a grid leak, loud-speaker transmission, and for hundreds of other useful andi interesting experiments, is now on sale in America priced at 4/ each.

The Manufacture of Modern Radio Valves. The Automatic Grid-Making Machine. By F. E. BUCKELL (Manager, Osram Valve Dept., British General Electric Co., Ltd., Sydney). EVENTS change rapidly in the World of Radio, but probably nothing has changed more rapidly during the last few years than the design and methods of manufacture of thermonic valves. Only a few years ago the bright emitter type of receiving valve was reckoned on being the ideal valve for all kinds of reception; to-day there are, at a conservative estimate, some hundred odd types of receiving valves on the market. The old bright emitter of a few years ago took some three hours to make; to-day a valve is made in about half an hour. Anybody visiting a modern valve works would be amazed at the improvements effected during the past four years; anodes that used to be blanked out by hand are now made in thousands by automatic machines at several hundred per hour; grids that used to be made by hand with great care are now wound, spot welded at every turn by automatic machines; exhausting valves by bombardment for two hours or more has given way to machine pumping and high frequency gear to volatilise the “getter,” which produces highly exhausted valves at the rate of 200 or so in an hour. Whilst on the subject of exhausting or pumping it may interest readers to know that the silver coating on the inside of the modern radio valve is the result of the volatilisation of the magnesium getter, which gives the valve an extra high degree of vacuum—and not for effect as perhaps may be supposed. Nearly all receiving valves are of similar construction—that is to say, they consist of an electrode system, mounted on support wires, which pass through a glass seal or “pinch,” the whole arrangement being contained in a glass bulb which is exhausted as completely as possible of air. The electrodes are usually three in number—the filament, anode and grid, The filament emission is obtained either from the filament itself, as in the case of the bright emitter, by raising it to a high state of incandescence, or in the case of the modern valves form a coating on the filament, the filament in this case acting merely as a heater of the coating, The glass operations in valve making are similar to those used in the manufacture of electric lamps. A length of glass tube is fed into a machine which simultaneously cuts the tube into short lengths and forms a flange at one end. This “flange” is placed in another machine, together with the exhaust stem and the requisite number of leading-in wires,

•which may number from four to nine; the wires are then fused into a glass “pinch.” During the fusing operation air pressure applied down the exhaust stem blows a hole through one side of the “pinch,” thus leaving an exit for the gases during exhausting. This is how the "pipless” effect is obtained; the stem being subsequently sealed off below the flange and hidden inside the base of the valve. The four leading-in wires are of copper and are soldered to the legs of the base; the inner wires are usually made of nickel and carry the electrodes. The small central portion which is fused into the “pinch” 'consists of wire designed to have the same co-efficient of expansion as the glass into which they are fused. The whole thing is known as the “seal” or “foot,” and it now remains to assemble the grid, filament and anode on this seal. When the electrodes are assembled, the “foot” is sealed into the bulb, the neck of which is melted by gas flames around the flange and any excess of glass is blown clear; the valve is then ready for exhausting. The machine employed for exhausting consists of a circular manifold carrying a number of rubber connections, into which are placed the stems of the valves to be exhausted. The rubber connections are connected to a system of pumps in such a manner that as the manifold moves round, each valve is subjected to a more and more intense degree of exhaustion. 1 valves at the same time pass through a gas oven maintained at a temperature of 400 deg. C. to 450 deg. C., which has the effect of expelling from the glass parts any gases contained by them—particularly water vapour which has a disastrous effect on the emission of dull emitters. By the time the valve has reached the end of the circuit the gas pressure inside is of the order of 0.01 m.m. of mercury; there is even at this pressure too much gas left In the valve. In order to clean up this remaining gas the magnesium previously attached to the anode is volatilised by H.F. currents driving off any gas which is left, and condensing on the wall of the bulb, leaving a gas pressure of about 0.0001 m.m. of Mercury. which is a sufficiently “hard” vacuum for our purpose. The valve is then sealed off below the flange” and the base is fitted by Che application of cement, baked in a small electric oven, fitted over the base. The subsequent treatment depends upon the nature of the valve. A bright emitter need only be run for a short time at slightly more than normal voltage, whereas a dull emitter valve requires certain electrical treatment to produce the standard of emission required. Some coated filament types of valves are treated during exhausting to free the coating substance of gas and leave a pure uncontaminated emissive surface. It only remains now to test the valve for emission, vacuum, filament current and characteristic slope. The vacuum is measured by applying a fairly high positive voltage to the plate and varying the negative grid volts, with a sensitive galvanometer in the grid-filament circuit; if the valve is soft it shows a current of microamps, but a hard valve shows practically no reverse grid current at all.

THE QUALITY SIX WE have at times pointed out the desirability of quality of reproduction in any broadcast receiver in preference to quantity. Gone are those days when Mr. Jones would try to outdo Mr. Smith, by placing the loud speaker outside the window and letting it blare forth a distorted amount of undesirable volume. That sort of thing was available, due to transformers which were made when Wireless was very much in its infancy, and valves were of poor construction with appalling characteristics. Wireless as a science is still very much in its infancy, but now in 1928, we have transformers which do transform, and with faithful quality of tone. Also, valves have reached a stage when there is virtually “A valve for every socket.” These components are well within the pocket of “the man in the street,” but yet in many cases, we still hear home constructed receivers giving out anything but music or natural speech. How often do I hear the cynical “expert” friend of the family say, “Oh, that is the fault of the broadcasting station itself.” Whereas such a thing could be possible, yet our broadcast engineers have reached a stage where a hundred per cent, efficiency is their slogan, and that is maintained, so that our “expert friend” is actually very unfair to the owner of that set, by laying the blame with the origin of the signal. There are many causes of distortion, which are but there are a few main causes which should first be looked to, Primarily; transformers are the delinquents, and although you may have fitted transformers of unimpeachable reputation, yet there are things that happen “is? the best of families.” A transformer may be suspected and hauled out of the set. A test will show continuity in the windings and that transformer is put back into the set. Now it so happens occasionally, that one or two turns of the primary or secondary will be shorting, but yet the winding is continuous. The result is that the shorted turns set up small eddy currents which lead to distortion in the final reproduction. It is not normally possible or convenient to disintegrate the transformer so that the only remedy is a new component. Now the question of unsuitable grid biasing arises. It is possible that the constructor has inadvertently reversed his C battery, which will immediately result in distortion with a great lo'ss of strength. Also, too high a negative bias will produce the same effect. Always bias valves according to the makers’ instructions, and if doubtful about this, find the best position yourself. Valves are of paramount importance in avoiding distortion by using the correct valve for each position. For instance, Radio frequency amplifying valves should always be of high impedance, although in certain cases there are exceptions to the rule. This applies mainly to Reflex circuits. Resistance capacity amplifiers should also be of high impedance, and audio amplifiers of low impedance. The detector valve impedance should be in the neighbourhood of 7,000 ohms. All this dissertation on transformers and valves may appear boring to the reader, but it all leads up to the why and wherefore of the Quality Six. This receiver has been designed mainly with a view to faithful tone reproduction and at the same time with no sacrifice of distance getting properties. It is exceptional in that it introduces a stage of resistance coupled Radio Frequency Amplification which in itself is untuned—but far from being an idle passenger in the set. The detector is followed by three stages of resistance capacity coupled audio amplification. This form of audio amplification at once precludes the possibility of defective or unsuitable transformer coupling, and the resultant volume is very little if any, less than two transformer LIST OF PARTS FOR THE QUALITY SIX. Although the parts listed below and mentioned throughout the articles were those actually used by us in the receiver described, it must be pointed out that it is not absolutely essential that they be rigidly adhered to. Other parts of similar quality and technical values should function quite satisfactorily. 1 Dilecto Formica hard rubber panel, 24 x 8 x 3-16 in. 1 Uilecto, Formica sub-panel, 23 x 8 x 3-16 in. 1 Radiokes Bayer Coil Kit. 2 Advance or Emmco SLF Condensers, .0005 mfd. 2 Vernier Dials. 1 Small Knob for Standard Spindles. 1 Battery Switch. 1 Single Circuit Jack. 2 Benjamin Sub-panel Brackets. 6 Benjamin UX Valve Sockets. 1 Phasatrol (Electrad) 1. 4 Amperites or Brachstats to suit Valves used. 1 .0001 Fixed Condenser. 1 .00025 Grid Condenser and 2 meg.

coupled stages. The resistance coupled R.F. stage increases the selectivity of this conventional circuit to an astounding degree so that at once we have before us a highly desirable and efficient receiver of quite low cost. This Resistance R.F. stage uses a Phasatrol and while it has been stated that resistance coupling is unsuitable at high frequencies, yet it was found to be of enormous value when used with a Phasatrol. No trouble whatsoever with uncontrollable oscillation was found and neutralisation or' balancing in any form was found to be entirely superfluous. Actually, the Phasatrol is not used as a suppressor or oscillation preventer, but owing to its containing a variable resistance—it was found that any degree of selectivity could be obtained. In different localities—different aspects of selectivity are required so that the Quality Six is desirable both for the congested area or the localities far removed from the broadcast station. A receiver used, say in Coogee, would require slightly broader tuning if used in North Sydney, owing to its removal from interference of the “shock excitation” type. The regenerative Detector following the resistance R.F. stage will give sufficient sensitivity to bring in inter-state stations at comfortable strength. Do not expect the long distance results of the Super or the Solodyne from the Quality Six—by this I mean that its range is limited to inter-state reception. It is something, however, to have a receiver which clears up that “night distortion” on inter-State signals to no small extent. The circuit diagram will show that there is nothing “awe-inspiring” about it. Merely a straightforward job; but making for tone amplification. The coils (Ll-L2) (L3-L4-L5) consist of a Radiokes Bayer coil kit, although other kits of which there are many suitable, could be used. In series with the aerial is a fixed condenser C 3 of .0001 mfd. This condenser is not actually necessary, but may possibly be found a useful adjunct if situated under the broadcasting stations’ aerial! L 3 is the primary coil of the 3 circuit portion of the Bayer Kit. L 2 the secondary and L 3 the reaction coil. L 3 is variable in the usual way for control of regeneration. There are actually only two tuning controls—Condensers Cl and C 2, which are of .0005 mfd. each. These condensers should be of the “straight line frequency” type, and in the instrument built here for readers’ edification, the condensers were of the Gecophone slow motion SLF type. These Gecophone condensers are of high quality and incomparable in their vernier action. Do not get the idea that other condensers will not do however. There are many inexpensive and excellent productions now on the market, out of which I recommend “Advance” or “Emmco.” A receiver of this type demands good condensers with a good control so that it will be advisable to use a good smooth running vernier dial with the condensers. The resistance capacity coupling units for the audio stages are built up separately by the use of Electrad double clip mountings and .006 coupling condensers. The plate resistances have a value of .1 meg. and the grid resistances of .25 meg. Between the Ist and 2nd R.E. stages is shown the Phasatrol marked P and indicated “in situ” by dotted lines around the unit. Incidentally, if the reader wishes to avoid constructing his own resistance amplifier units—there are some excellent resistance coupling units manufactured by Philips, which would be eminently suited to this receiver. In “Radio” for March—a special amplifier featuring the Philips units, is described with the 1928 Browning Drake. The why and wherefore of resistance amplification is fully discussed with the amplifier. No variable rheostats are provided in this receiver, and in each case the valves are controlled by means of automatic ballasting resistances of the Amperite or Brachstat type according to the valves used. The two R.F. valves are provided with independent resistances, and also the detector. The three audio amplifiers are controlled by one common resistance, so that in all, four automatic resistances are required. In the grid circuit of the second R.F. valve actuated through the Phasatrol is a 2 megohm grid leak connected to the A negative supply. In order to avoid crowding, a large front panel measuring 24 x 8 inches is used, and to facilitate wiring, a sub-panel measuring 23 x 8 inches. There are actually on the front panel only two controls, the left hand vernier dial controlling condenser Cl in the R.F. stages, and the

right hand condenser C 2 in the closed or detector circuit. The regeneration control is placed in between these two, and will be found necessary only for long distance reception. Below the sub-panel and to the left of Cl is the battery switch. In a similar position and to the right of C 2 is the single circuit jack for the output to the loud speaker. First of all lay out the panel according to the template building diagram and centrepunch each marking. Drill the panel for the 5 holes necessary for the controls, etc., and attach the panel to the sub-panel by means of sub-panel brackets of the Benjamin or Airzone type. In order to avoid any unbightly appearance on the panel front by projecting screw heads from the brackets, it is best to countersink the holes for the small screws and use countersunk headed screws. After the two panels are mounted the heads of the screws may be touched over with black lacquer. Mount the two condensers Cl and C 2 in their respective positions, and the coil unit (L 3, L 4 and L 5). This unit is mounted by means of a one hole fixing, and should be arranged as shown on the back of panel diagram. The position of each component on the sub-panel is clearly shown in this diagram. The aerial coupling and R.F. coils LI and L 2 are arranged at right angles to the inter-stage transformers L 3, L 4, L 5, and placed on the extreme left of the sub- panel looking from the front of the receiver. The first five valve sockets are placed in line with adequate space to allow for the mounting of the Phasatrol between the first two valves. Also, space must be left for the resistance capacity coupling units between the audio amplifier sockets. The last audio socket is placed out of line and towards the front panel on the right. The ballasting resistances are placed adjacent to the first four sockets as shown. Although the wiring to the battery switch and the single circuit jack is plainly indicated in the diagram, it should be understood that these two components are underneath the sub-panel. Nine moulded top terminals will be required for aerial, earth, and battery connections, and are arranged on the back edge of the sub-panel. From left to right these are respectively, aerial, earth, A positive, A negative, B negative, C positive, C negative, B positive 90, B positive 135. All the components, such as LI and L 2; valve sockets, Phasatrol, clips for capacity resistances, etc., are mounted on the sub-panel by means of small screws and nuts. Each component must be placed in position and marked off preparatory to drilling. By tho use of a sub-panel, not only is the wiring more simple and more efficient,* but the completed receiver is much more worthy of the name than the usual haphazardly constructed baseboard model. Having completed the mounting, let us proceed with the wiring. Most of the wiring is done by drilling small holes by the terminals of each component and running the 16’s tinned copper wire down through the sub-panel. All joints should be soldered and even where such components as intervalve transformers are provided with binding posts, it is far preferable to place a soldering tag under the nut and screw it down hard, afterward soldering the lead to the tag. To make the finished instrument look like an engineering job. the 16’s wire should have lengths of insulating sleeving,. or “spaghetti” slipped over each wire. It is a difficult process for a novice to make all his wiring bends exactly at right-angles and to keep his wiring neat and straight, and I have often seen the veriest' tyro admirably camouflage indifferent wiring by means of “spaghetti.” This, by the way, is not by any means advice to “skimp” a job as only the best of work should be put into any wireless receiver, even if it be only a modest crystal set. An alternative may be used in the form of Celatsite or Glazite, which consists of very finely stranded tinned copper wire covered with various colours of sleeve insulation. This wire is very easy to work and the various circuits may be worked in different colours for easy identification. Soldering is here worth a word or two. Do not ever make a joint in a doubtful sort of way and then “kid” yourself that it is a good electrical joint. The chances are that the surface of the wire was to a very slight degree corroded and any amount of soldering flux will not help without properly cleaning the joint. Prove it to yourself by pulling on the joint with a pair of flat nosed pliers. A poorly made joint may result in a perplexed reader writing to ask an already harassed Technical Editor a query which would have been entirely unnecessary if a little more care and forethought had been exercised. The filament circuits should be wired up first, and where a receiver uses a battery switch instead of a combination jack always wire up the filament lead with this switch-in circuit first. This is apt to be overlooked otherwise, until the last. Start from the A positive terminal and run a lead to one side of the battery switch and through this switch to the positive terminal of each valve socket. The terminals A

negative, B negative and C positive, are linked together on the sub-panel, and a lead is taken from these to one side of the .25 megohm resistors, in the first and second amplifiers, and also to one side of the ballasting resistance controlling the three audio amplifiers. This lead continues from the audio portion of the receiver, to one side of the by-pass condenser C 5 .001 mfd. to one side of the ballasting resistance for the detector valve filament. This is also joined to the rotor plates of condenser C 2, and thence to terminal F of coil L 4. From here it continues to one side of each ballasting resistance in both R.F. stages, and to one side of the two megohm leak in the grid circuit of the second R.F. valve, and thence to the rotor plates of condenser Cl, and terminal F of the R.F. coil L 2. The C negative terminal is connected to one side of the .25 meg. resistance in the grid circuit of the last amplifier. From the B positive 90 terminal, run a lead to the B terminal of coil L 3and to the B positive terminal of the Phasatrol unit. Nex* link together the negative filament terminals of the three audio amplifiers and continue this to the other side of the ballasting resistance controlling these valves. The grid of the last audio amplifier is now connected to the other side of the .25 megohm resistance, and one side of the coupling condenser CB, .00 mfd. the other side of this condenser, connects' to the plate of the second valve and to one side of the .1 megohm resistance. From the grid of the second valve connect up in a similar way one side of C 7 and the other side of the .25 megohm resistance. Deal with the first audio amplifier similarly. The open sides of the three .1 megohm resistances are now connected together and joined to the B positive 135 terminal, and one side of the single circuit jack. The other side of this jack is connected to the plate of the last valve. Now link up the other side of the by-pass condenser C 5 of terminal B of the reaction coil and the other side of condenser C 6 plus the .1 megohm resistance in the first stage. The other side of the reaction coil is connected to the plate of the detector valve. From the grid terminal of the detector wire in series condenser G 4 with its two megohm leak, which is the grid condenser to the stator plates of condenser C 2 and terminal G of coil L 4. Terminal P of coil L 3 connects to the plate of the second R.F. valve. From the grid of this valve take a lead to the other side of the two megohm leak, and terminal P.C. of the Phasatrol unit. Terminal P of this unit, connects to the plate of the first R.F. valve. From the grid of this valve, connect to the stator plates of condenser Cl and terminal G of the R.F. coil. Now wire up from the aerial terminal to one side of condenser C 3 .0001 mfd. and through thiscondenser to the aerial coupling coil, and th© other side to the earth terminal. This completes the wiring. Now the question of valves arises, 'there are many maxes and types or valves which may be adapted for use with this receiver. Almost any valve of reliable manufacture ana of he correct impedance will be suitable, but those chosen for the purpose were respectively: Osram Ist, K.F. DHiii4lU, 2nd R.F., DEH4IO, detector DEL4IU, Ist amplifier DEE4IO, 2nd DEH4IU, and 3rd DEH4IO or DEL4IO. This combination was found to give excellent results, and it was interesting to note the variation and selectivity by the adjustment of the Phasatrol. Another suitable class of valve are those manufactured by Philips, and a suitable combination is as follows: Ist R.F. A 425, or 435, 2nd R.F. A 425 or 435, detector A 415 first audio A 425, second audio A 425, and last audio 8406. Tuning will be found extremely simple. But before connecting up the batteries, it is well to note that owing to the resistance capacity method of audio amplification employed it is necessary to use a High B battery voltage in the neighborhood of 125 to 135 volts. 90 volts will be found suitable for the R.F. stages, and it should be noted that the detector plate supply is taken through the .1 megohm resistance in the grid plate circuit of the first amplifier. This gives the necessary reduction of voltage for the detector valve. Switch on the receiver and tune by means of the right hand control condenser C 2 when a local station should be heard at considerable volume without any adjustment of regeneration. An adjustment of the left hand dial Cl will bring this combined R.F. stage into resonance when the volume will be materially increased. Do not adjust the Phasatrol on a local station unless absolutely necessary. Tune in to an inter-State station, and adjust the Phasatrol for maximum volume. This should be done by means of a long screwdriver with a wooden handle. The aerial should be about 80ft. long maximum for best results, and as unscreened as possible. No trouble will be found with the operation of the receiver, and the quality of its reproduction will be a pleasure to its user. Finally, if the constructor so desired, he could mount the resistance capacity coupling units underneath the sub-panel, as once mounted, these do not need to be altered in any way. Make sure that the resistances used are constant in their calibration, and for this reason it is advisable to obtain only the best quality. • VIOLINS VALUED AT £12,000. Four violins, valued at £3,000 each, were used recently in a musical art quartet, including Sascha Jacobsen, who broadcast from an American station. The violins are four Strads, purchased by Felix Warburg. <• A DREAM OF EFFICIENCY.. Imagine every A class broadcasting station in Australia being brought together in some form of amalgama- tion or co-operation, so that bands and artists could be transferred, and kept continually on the move in a cir- cuit. Think of the saving of effort and cost of a centralised control of the broadcasting services. Even op- ponents to unification as a principle admit that there are paramount rea- sons for centralisation of wireless broadcasting control, because the decentralisation of operations, and the accruing advantages would by far outweigh the tendency to bureaucratic methods. Overlapping of programme items would be obvi- ated, and the system would result in a one hundred per cent, improved service generally, whilst the benefits to States like Tasmania and West Australia would be incalculable.

Technical Points for Listeners ACCUMULATOR terminals should be smeared with vaseline in order to keep them from corroding. WHEN USING a long aerial, the coils on your set should be loose coupled if selectivity is desired. BUS-WIRE is easily soldered, ow- ing to the fact that it is already tinned. A BY-PASS CONDENSER in the plate circuit of the detector valve will improve the operation of your receiver to a great extent. WHEN WINDING coils of the Lorenz type, it is better to dispense with shellac and other insulation com- pounds which add to the dielectric. The simple way to make a coil rigid, is to use a grade of heavy sewing thread, lacing it firmly and tightly. WHEN YOU are out of colder, small joints can often be soldered by using ordinary tinfoil with the usual fluxes. Care should be taken, how- ever, to get enough foil melted down to complete the job,, as owing to its lack ci thickness, there usually is very little metal present. THE USE OF a fixed condenser across the loud-speaker terminals on the set will help to increase the qual- ity of tone, whilst a fixed condenser across the loud-speaker connections will have the effect of eliminating diaphragm rattle and hand capacity noises, such as those produced by touching the speaker cords. WHEN WINDING coils on formers, it is a good idea to insulate them with paraffin wax. This is done by melting a quantity of good paraffin wax (enough to well cover the former), and leave the former in it for about half an hour, during which time it should be baked in the oven. On re- moving, scrape the superfluous wax off. A WIRELESS set capable of “ring- ing up” any person using a suitable receiver, and of receiving calls in the same manner, has now been perfected. The cost of making such a receiver and transmitter is small, construction simple, and all parts afe within reach of the average experimenter. Tele- phony is used for communication in the same way as the ordinary tele- phone. A complete description and an article on the construction of such a set appears in “Radio,” January 15th, 1928. A THIN LAYER of lubricating oil will overcome gassing and pop- ping in the accumulator. THE COUPLING condensers for re- sistance capacity or choke amplifiers should be of the mica type. DID YOU KNOW that though 1 metre has a frequency of 300,000 kilo- cycles, 30,000 metres has only a fre- quency of 10 kilocycles? EXPERIMENTS carried out in order to find the best wavelengths for different times of day show that wavelengths of 26 to 40 metres are suitable when the path between trans- mitter and receiver is in complete darkness; wavelengths of 20 to 26 metres are suitable at times of trans- mission from darkness to daylight and vice-versa, or when the path is partly in daylight and partly in darkness; and wavelengths of 15 to 20 metres are suitable for a total daylight path. PERIODICALLY you should run a rag soaked in kerosene up and down your aerial in order to remove the soot and dust, which make for poor reception. Whilst on the job, don’t forget the insulators, which also col- lect dirt. Contrary to general sup- position it is not advisable to Solder leads to your aerial, for unless a good connection is made without the use of the solder, the resistance of the latter will cause very poor reception. AS SOON as a joint has been sol- dered, it should be wiped over with a clean duster in order to remove the liquefied flux, which is otherwise liable to cause leakage. DISTORTION due to high fre- quency currents getting in on the low frequency side of a receiver may be prevented by the insertion of a high resistance, in series with the grids of low frequency valves. RADIO CONSTRUCTORS who fail to find an error in a set they’ve wired, though they may never have had the same experience before, should re- member what Josh Billings once said: “Success don’t consist in never makin blunders, but in never makin’ the same once twict.” INSULATED aerials are better than plain copper, since the latter are prone to collect soot and dust, and owing to wet weather, will very easily corrode. On the other hand, wire that is enamel or rubber insulated, will not be affected, and this insula- tion will have no effect whatever on the reception of signals. OAK FINISH! Amateurs who build their own cabinets will find that an excellent stain for oak can be made by mixing Japan black and turpentine in equal quantities. The liquid should be applied with a rag to the well-sand-papered surface, and with two or three coats a rich brown coat will be obtained. A SPARE FIXED condenser of .001 mfd. capacity or so, can be used as a safeguard in sets of the Rein- artz type where the voltage of the “B” battery is across the reaction condenser. Simply connect the .001 mfd. condenser in series with the smaller variable condenser, and then if the latter should accidentally be- come shorted, the larger condenser will prevent a short to your battery. SAVING THE LOW NOTES: The sound waves from a loud speaker are not projected evenly. The higher notes go straight forward, while the lower notes tend to go off sideways, and even round towards the back of the instrument. This is referred to as “spilling.” A good plan to eli- minate this trouble is to place the speaker close to, and facing away, from a wall, so that some of those elusive low notes can be reflected again to the front. “O” IS FOR OSCILLATORS. The following verses, pub- lished in the “Radio Times ” (London), adequately express tiis feelings of most radio "fans” :— The wicked Oscillators The purest waves defile —. Far worse than alligators Stir up the muddy Nile. One of their horrid joys is, When you're trying to get through, To create unearthly noises That start gibbering at you. They fill the atmospherics With rumors fit to freeze — Like Demoyis in hysterics, Or delirious Banshees. If we could be dictators OF these Evil-Doers' fate, We would wrap in Insulators Etheric Agitators, And drop them all down crators Where they'd cease to Oscil- late.

A Circuit that amplifies its reception 2,500,000,000 times.. .! 1928 heralds new developments in radio Wonder* Box the New 6 Valve RCA Receiver Model Id NO “EARTH”— NO AERIAL. So sensitive is the R.C.A. Model 16 that you can actually operate it on local reception without earth wire or aerial, although normally these should be used. AMAZING VOLUME ON LONG DISTANCE RECEPTION. A flood of melody instead of the thin trickle of sound you have been used to. DISTORTIONLESS VOLUME, TOO. A special power valve was de- veloped to enable the Model 16 to reproduce its enormous vol- ume without trace of distortion. RICH, CLEAR TONE. The tone of a fine musical instrument. COMPACT as a fine Watch. The Model 16 can be carried easily and can be taken away to week-end cottages and on holi- days. RECEPTION amplified 2,500,000,000 times! Almost incredible yet true—as you can believe when you reflect that the Model 16 is the joint achievement of such organisations as the Radio Corporation of America, General Electric Company and others. Their combined genius has conceived unmatched refinements that depend on wire windings finer than a hair and adjustments closer than a thousandth of an inch. Take a peep inside the Model 16. What a miracle of compact- ness and precise engineering it is—and what results it gives. Blindfold you’d pick out this R.C.A. Receiver for its reproduction as instinctively as you would select a fine piano from its tone. And yet it is controlled by a single dial. See it—hear it to-day—at any of the best radio dealers. You will find its appearance worthy of its performance. The Model 16’s cabinet is made of solid polisned mahogany, while its speaker is the handsome dull bronze R.C.A.

Announce- ments. The Royal Automobile Club of Victoria’s SAFETY MESSAGE for to-day is for MOTORISTS: “All crossings require your careful attention, whether guarded or not; crossing bells are sometimes out of order; watchmen or gate operators may be off duty.” OUR GREAT THOUGHT: The Golden Rule in Different Countries. In eight different religious philosophies there are to be found distinct statements embodying the spirit of the Golden Rule. The spirit and meaning of all these state- ments is for all general purposes the same. The most generally used form of the Golden Rule is: “Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do you even unto them.” The following are four of the principal statements of the same principle in other religious philosophies—the remaining four will be given to-morrow (Monday) night. “Do as you would be done by.”—Persian. “Do not that to a neighbor which you shall take ill from him.” —Greek. “What you would not wish done to your- self do not do unto others.” —Confucianist. “One should seek for others the happiness which one desires for oneself.”—Buddhist. 10 p.m.—GOD SAVE THE KING. 3AR, MELBOURNE SUNDAY, Ist APRIL, 1928.

Sow the seed thinly in rows where the plants are to mature. A Vi inch is quite deep enough. Allow about 15 inches between the rows. Do not sow carrots in ground containing a large quantity of fresh manure, otherwise roots will fork, and be useless.

“ACME Socket Power eliminates worry of run-down batteries Modernize your Receiver ! “ ACME ” operates any set, with any valves, from your ordinary electric-light socket. Think what this means ! No “ B ” batteries to bother about; up to 180 volts—smooth direct current ; no hum, no distortion ! Improved tones due to the unlimited reserve power ; clearer, deeper and more natural reception. This elimin- ator will bring you a new appreciation of radio. It is economical too, for the first cost is practically the last. Price, £lO/15/- As a rectifier, the famous “ RAYTHEON ” Valve is employed. This tube, better known in U.S.A., is a synonym for simplicity, rugged construction, long life and general efficiency. It contains no filament, gives full-wave rectification and is easily replaced. Visit the Wireless Department and inspect this amazing accessory.

Steam for l 1 hours, taking care that the water does not boil into ,he pudding. (8) Serve with jam sauce. 11.2 a.m.—THE GLORY OF THE GARDEN Keep yours well stocked with onions. Sow the seeds in an outdoor seed bed and trans- plant when the seedlings are large enough to handle conveniently, the best time being when they are about the thickness of a goose quill. Make deep drills, and lay the plants in these, drawing the soil over the roots with the rake, and treading same firmly. Be careful that only the roots and bulbous portion at the base of the stem are inserted in the soil, for if put in deeper the plants do not bulb freely. Allow about 15 inches between the drills and 4 to 5 inches between each plant. The ground must be kept well worked while the plants are growing, and hand weeding around the plants is essent al. Frequent watering and regular cultivation is the secret of growing onions successfully, and the ground holding the crop must be kept open, clean and free from weeds. 11.5 a.m.—Miss E NOBLE: “Baking Block Cake in a Gas Oven.” 11.20 a.m.—Musical interlude. 11.25 a.m.—Mrs. DOROTHY SILK: “Homecrafts.” 11.40 a.m. —Musical interlude. 11.45 a.m.—Under the auspices of the FREE KINDERGARTEN .UNION, Miss R.

' Perfect at Every Point! with the Hew Filament Point 1: THE PERFECT FILAMENT The Osram Valve Filament is of entirely new Construction and Design. FiuwtuJ MADE IN ENGLAND. It is strong. It embodies a core of tungsten, one of the toughest metals known. It has enormous Electron Emission. Specially selected materials, giving extraordinary high electron emission at very low temperatures are chemi- cally combined to this core. The operating temperature is so low that the filament cannot be seen glowing. It is long. The filament length is greater than that of any other valve of equivalent class, ensuring the best operating charac- teristics. Anti-microphonic. The nature of its construction requires no spring suspension—spring suspen- sion being always an undesirable feature. This provides freedom from microphonic noise troubles.

Young Bill s idea of a “good show’ 1 consists of roasted peanuts, hurdy- gurdies, a fat lady, and a punching match. He recently -retailed with glee how the Battling Buster bust digger Jones “into a plate of mince- meat.” I am still in doubt whether the negroid Jones fell into the plate or whether he used it as a substitute tor his razor. My wife’s vision is more expen- sive and expansive. She imagines a tront row in the stalls, a box of sweets, fur on her neck and sleeves, and silken what-me-nots. For me—the Radio Show! Man! It’s the best eye-opener since the hobble skirt. Take, for instance, the stall of New System Telephones, Pty. Their new de-luxe model of an electric-run receiver is as big a sensa- tion as the second lot of triplets in a poor family. When I saw that set, I thanked my lucky star that my wife didn’t. It’s harder to get a woman past a pretty piece of furniture than over the age of thirty-nine. Besides, no female can resist press- ing a button. Even the Queen of Afghanistan, according to cables, stood enthralled before a sample of English engineering which washed the dishes and fed the fowls to the touch of electric controls. Another button-pressing product of New Systems is the Acme Socket Power—a sort of permanent power- producer that works forty-four hours a week or more with never a crackle. Besides giving perfect results, it should act as a shining example to I.W.W.’s and other Captains of In- dustry. A new face on the Stand belongs to a big “A” Battery of bull-dog breed, Fuller power, pep, and real ebonite cells. « * s our P a l> the Phil co “B,” its glass cells and mahogany case as shining and pretty as a day in Spring. For good looks and ser- vice all the year round, the Philco is only rivalled by its own Distribu- tors. Close by is that King of Adven- turers, the Burgess, with its black- and-white-striped halo of honest achievement. An Aristocrat of dry batteries, it fills a democratic need— there’s a type for every kind of set, be it ever so humble or proud. Taken all round, this stand is as chock-a-block with promise as a bud- ding M.P. And there’s no catch. Be- tween you and me, every New System product is a true-blue friend.*

It is our duty to continuously do some personal deed of sacrifice lest we forget what we owe, not only to those who gave their lives, but the vast numbers who came back permanently injured and all who did THEIR duty. It OUR duty to raise a monument so that our children and children’s children will preserve a reveren- tial feeling of remembrance of what they also owe to the men who did such noble deeds to make the foundation of liberty and civilisation more secure.”—Mr. Goerge Swinburne. 10.5 p.m.—GOD SAVE THE KING.

All Readers' Queries Answered Here J.H. (GUNGAL) : It will be quite possible to use a twin gang condenser for the 5 valve receiver you propose to build, by either match- ing the first and second radio frequency trans- formers, or by adding small trimmer con- densers in parallel. A variometer could be used for regeneration control in place of a variable capacity. See "Wireless Weekly,” 2/3/28., on the Variactor Two. The coils should be placed well away from each other on the baseboard, and not in inductive rela- tion. If the coils are mounted as in the Grimes’ Inverse Duplex, they are liable to interact- Note that the Inverse Duplex uses binocular coils which overcome this possi- bility. H.R.H. (MOSMAN): The distortion you have noticed on 4QG has been very much in evidence lately, and reports are to hand from all quarters on this. This is undoubtedly due to some form of atmospheric disturbance, as I have noted myself that the modulation from 4QG clears up for short periods. A change of weather conditions will probably overcome this effect. PERPLEXED (DULWICH HILL) : The most suitable resistance for use with your eliminator for the purpose you require would be the Bradleyohm Model E. This would give an effective variation practically from zero to full voltage. The standard connections of the Phasatrol are quite in order in the grid plate circuit of any R.F. amplifier for neutralisa- tion. W.L.R. (MICHELAGO) : I do not advise you to use an ordinary inter-valve transformer for step down purposes, as the ratio would in the first place be unsuitable, and, secondly, the secondary would in all probability break down. It is far better to obtain a transformer expressely for the purpose of which there are many makes on the market- J.H.P. (St. PETERS): Out of the three re- ceivers you mentioned 1 recommend the Browning Drake as being most suitable, al- though the other two are very close runners. The Te Ka De Pentatron valve will operate very satisfactorily with 60 volts plate supply. H.C.H.E. (ENFIELD) ; The Henley Cable Co., Clarence-street. Sydney, will no doubt be able to supply the wire you require. J.M. (MANILLA) : It would not be fair to lay the blame with your Amplion loud speaker used in conjunction with your 5-valve Neutro- dyne. You do not mention the valves you are using, but it is of importance to use a power valve of the correct impedance in the last stage. D.H. (GRANVILLE) : A good combination of Philips’ valves for the Perfection Five, as published in "Radio” for January, would be: First, R.F., A 435, or 425 ; second, R.F., A 435. of 425, detector A 415, first audio A 415, second audio D 406 or 8403. G.M.D. (STANMORE) : A variable resistance across the reaction coil is an effective means of controlling oscillation, but unless the resist- ance is suitably designed is liable to be noisy. One advantage is that there is no change of frequency in the grid circuit by this means. The volume from 2 volt valves will be equal to the 6 volt type, provided the correct potenti- als are applied regarding plate voltage and grid biasing. Short wave coils are preferably of the air spaced type. R.G.P. (GUILDFORD) : After having gone carefully over your troubles with the Reinartz receiver, I am of the opinion that the trouble lies entirely with the audio amplifiers. As you are troubled excessively with broad tuning and a series aerial condenser it does not help much, I recommend the erection of a suit- able counterpoise. Try substituting different transformers for the ones you are using. W.W. (BALMAIN) : It is evident from your description that .you are either using an un- suitable grid leak, "or too low a plate voltage with your ‘‘Extraordinary one-valve receiver.” The Philips 84066 valve should be quite effec- tive, but I recommend the A 415 in place. S.B. (LITHGOW): I thank you for forward- ing details of the ‘ ‘Autoregenerator” circuit, and find that all the values of inductance and capacity are quite in order. You can obtain the Royalty Electrad Resistances of almost any value from practically any dealer in Sydney. This receiver should certainly suit Australian conditions. J. (BELMORE) : The hum that you heat with youi short wave receiver points to an open grid return to filament, although if you say the set is working satisfactorily, it is possible that the hum is from some external source of interference, such as power lines, or street pole transformers. I presume that when you mention interstate stations you are referring to shortwave stations alone. A.A. (ANXIOUS) : The battery connections for the Variactor Two described in "Wireless Weekly,” 2/3/28, are prefectly straightforward. The filament switch is in the lead from the A positive supply and the A negative linked with the B negative. The B positive 30 is the plate supply for the detector valve, and the B positive 90 for the amplifier. The values are not critical. K. (EASTWOOD). —From the description of your trouble with the Harkneia Re- flex, it would appear that the valves you have substituted for the UXl99’s are defective. It will be necessary to either change these valves, or continue to use the 199’s. If you are receiving 3LO with ease, I advise you to leave the receiver alone. R.J.T. (SPRING RIDGE).—If you have built the "Go-Getter” receiver described in "Radio” for December, it will be far better to stick to the details described by the author, in every way. With certain reservations one or two substitutions may be made, but are not advisable. The trouble you experience with oscillation may be due either to an unsuitable combination of valves or an incorrect value of grid leak. The howl on the edge of oscillation is due to one of these two causes. On the other stand, since you state that the roar only commences when the throttle condenser is at 50 degrees. I am inclined to think that you are using the receiver in a state of continual oscillation. In this case try reducing the B battery voltage on the detector valves. E.E.N. (BELLBIRD). —I am pleased to know that you are getting such excellent results with your Cole Five. The only remedy that I can suggest for the separation of 4QG and 3LO is a suitable wave-trap. You will find one described in "Wireless Weekly,” 9/3/28, on page 10. MAC (BARELLAN). —The stations you refer to in your list are inland stations belonging to Amalgamated Wireless A’sia, Ltd. J.H.H. (MAYFIELD).—AIthough lists of short wave stations with thejr times of transmission have been published from time to time in "Wireless Weekly” and‘“Radio,” yet these transmissions are at present irregular. From 4 p.m. to midnight, and 3 a.m. to 8 a.m., are the best periods for short wave reception in N.S.W. C.J.W. (BROOKTON).—At the present time, 2FC has no regular schedule for short-wave transmissions. These will probably come into operation with the approach of winter. The trouble you have with your oscillation is due to a symptom known as motor boating and is in all probability du£ to the grid leak. Try changing this. R.F.W. (STRATHFIELD). —It will be better to use low impedance valves with your home constructed B eliminator. The output may be Increased by running valves in parallel. Valves which are particularly suitable for this purpose are the Osram RSV, obtainable from the British General Electric Co.. Clarence St., Sydney. The 3% to 1 Jefferson transformer will be suitable in place of the 5 to 1. You should obtain an approximate voltage of 120 volts maximum. This circuit could not be used as an A battery charger. J.P. (ST. PETERS). —The only reason why your Pentatron Reinartz falls to function when the C battery is connected is because the C battery is probably reversed. Make sure that these connections are O.K.
