THE EVENING BSTAR, WASHINGT&N, D. ¢, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 1923. Explorer to Carry Best Tested j Radio Set Ever Installed {When Donald Mix, known to radio mateurs all over the country for be work of his old station ITS of | % istol, Conn., sits down to send out Hhe first real polar messago after be exploring schooner Bowdoin eaches the arctic, he will have at ils disposal a radio set more care- Glly chosen and tested than any Ppther ever installed. 2 IMix is the operator for Dr. Donald z; MacMillan, who is bound north Gr the eighth time. MacMillan goes ow as special radio correspondent f The Star, and wireless is to have ts first real test in the arctie: No commander of any sort ever $2d_a keener subordinate than has MacMillan in MIx, who has made dme enviable rocords In half a dozen vears or so and has a radio ac- uaintance with men all over North America.

Mix is not afrald of the aurora orealis, which has been known to Tie up telephione and telegraph lines #nd build a static wall in the alr. | MMix and his chlef—and the radio ex- perts who helped them equip the Bowdoin—say it can be overcome, and. furthermore, they are ready to Mmeasure it and make tests to show Jr for nlll what It really is. ny obstacles to radio communi- ion"in the Arctic presented them- <, but the radio_engineers who worked on the Bowdoin believe have been overcome. All the ©quipment was tested and retested Yor cold and other Arctie conditions jvhen the Bowdoin was fitted out. . There is insufficient room on the #hip for a large transmitter, so the object was to obtain best results avithin the narrowest confines. | smallsize, | leading a slant forward to the fore- |about half way between the top of cuit regenerative type, with two stages of audlo frequency amplifica- n. The long wave receivers, which will be restored to if communication to the explorers from high-power sta- tions is necessary, is of the single clircult type and covers a wave length range of 3,000 to 20,000 meters. Sixty large size, 23%-volt B bat- terles, with average life of about eightéen months, have been put into the radio compartment, as have ten 2235-voit B batteries, with life of approximately one vear, and | eighteen C batterles of 4% volts each, | Extra parts for twenty of the large size and ten of the small size bat- teries also have been provided. | One 32-volt, 160-ampere hour stor- age battery, supplying power for the motor generator, has been provided with an extra 8-volt unit for this battery. Two 6-volt, 60-ampere hour filament lighting batterles and parts for another 8-volt unit have been in- stalled for the receiving set. A power amplifier, six pairs of headphones, galvanometer and nu- | merous other testing instruments complete the interior equipment. Rigged to Masts, Because the Bowdoin carries sall, rigging the antenna was somewhat difficult. The antenna s rigged to the two masts with all four wires mast, the lead-in wire being taken off one end of a small spreader sWung the foremast and the tip of the bow- sprit. The lead-in insulator presented a | pecullar problem, as a difference in temperature of 140 degrees between the forecastle interior and that above deck wlill often be encountered—a temperature outside of 70 below zero and inside of 70 degrees above. The slightest metallic connection between exterior and interior under such al great difference in temperature con- room for the radlo equipment. The n ity of fuel economy limits the power, for the transmitter 1s 1im- ted. The power plant consists of Gupitcate 85o-watt Delco gas engine driven generators connected to 160-ampere hour, 32-voit storage b; tery. This battery must carry the regilar ship's light lead in addition to that of the radlo transmitter which alone requires 50 amperes at 32 volts, Consequently one of the gas engine driven generators must Ways be kept in operation while the radlo transmitter is in use. “DRY” VIOLATORS PAY $835.
