o % R I Ny R e An exceptionally serviceable long- distance receiving set that was as- sembled by a New York business man is illustrated here. The owner, Ju- lian Chase, had no technical experi- ence in radio work, and one of the remarkable features of the set is the fact that the owner obtained his ideas partly from his radio amateur friends and partly from newspaper articles on radio, and incidentally from his casual operation of a small receiving set which he formerly owned. The set is unusual, too, In that it is complete in detail for receiving all wave lengths that are used both com- mercially and by the amateurs, as it has a range of from 200 to 20,000 meters. How Set Works. In the lower left-hand corner of the fllustration may be seen the low- wave set that is used for listening to the nightly concerts and to amateurs. To the right of this cabinet is the two-stage amplifier which amplifies ials to great strength.

The two middle switches of the upper set are used for changing over from the low-wave set to the high-wave set; above these switches are mount- ed ‘the honeycomb colls that enable these h.gh-wave-length stations to be received. The two dials at each end of the set are attached to the tuning condensers. Mr. Chase uses a horizontal V an- tenna for receiving, with the lead in at the point of the V. The average length of the antenna is ninety feet. The low-wave set has enabled the owner and his family and friends to | hear the concerts from Newark, N. J.

Maj. Gen. George O. Squier, chief signal officer of the Army, has recent- ly extended his experiments with “wired wireless,” using the wires of an {electric light system as a receiviing lantenna. This system, which he terms the “fish pond” method of receiving, was explained in an exclusive inter- view. The ordinary commercial electri light lines always have a return wire running in close proximity tarough- out the circuit, giving « wmstrioutive capacity, and such a line may be con- sidered as a reservolr comprising all values of antepnae. strument, when plugged into a sc possesses the power of “picking ou or choosing from this reservoir the par- ular antenna necessary for reson- cc at any particular wave length. This may be called the “fish pond” | theory, Gen. Squier says, in which one can cither take from the pond a whale or a minnow, depending on the par- | ticular wave length being received. The longer wave lengths might be con- sidered whales and the shorter ones minnows, the receiving operator ad- justing his instrument to maximum ioudness. as usual Static Is Reduced. The use of the lighting circuit— eliminating unnecessary wires—instead of aerials for receiving broadcasting messages, serves to reduce the static very materially. In the summer this static becomes very much more active than in the winter, and makes re- ceivingwith aerials difficult, if not impossible. There is ro necessity for any wires at all except the lighting circuit and the usual flexible lamp cord to the ordinary socket. This method will be a benefit to our skylines, as it will eliminate the necessity of all receiving antenna which now literally cover the | roofs of apartment houses and private dwellings, meeting with the disap- proval of architects and community beautifiers. The elimination of aerials also precludes certain dangers from possible contact with high power elec- tric_lines. 1t is believed by experts that one of the most practical improvements will come in the very near future, b which the broadcasting whether from a distance or upon the wires themselves, will utilize in the receivers the electrical energy neces- sary to operate these receivers, taken directly from the same plug in the lighting circuit. The principal draw- back in operating recelving sets at present s the necessity for purchas- ing batteries in large numbers and Penna.

Once the whole apparatus is con- densed and operated directly from the lamp socket, and maintained in- definitely therefrom, we have reach- jed the point where the installation of home sets on a practical basis can 8o ahead on a big scale. In the office of the chief signal of- ficer his receiving set operates di- rectly from the lamp socket on his desk, both for receiving the local | broadcasting of base ball, music, ete., and also for receiving the special programs which the Signal Corps sta- ition sends on the circuit itself. The connection with the socket is reduc- ed to its lowest terms by the inser- tion of two small Dubilier condensers, i which can be pufchased at 35 cents| each and which are inclosed in a| special plug to protect and guard against short-circuiting the light cir- j cuit itself, and at the same time to offer a free path for electro-magnetic waves of high frequency. 1t is undcrstood that a new device | will soon be put on the market which | will further perfect and simplify this | means of connecting receiving sets | with lighting systems. | Of course the electric light lines are the property of the lighting and | power companies and objection may | be registered Ly these companies if | their lines are used as antennae for! {receiving without their permission. | but, in the event that they do. it is | possible that they may themselves| "STAND THE GROUND You Ow MY BRAVES!
