e e e FIFTEEN MINUTES OF RADIO EACH DAY VARIED PROGRAM PLANNED BY WRC Pianist, Singers, Hawaiian Music and Bible Talk Will Be Heard. A recital by Thompson, pian George Dickson t, and a_concert of Hawailan music by the Honolulans, under the direction of Ernest Deale, are the featured attractions on the program tonight of WRC. Mr. Thompson is ranked shington’s most prominent musi- cians, and his recital is expected to be among the best heard from WRC recently. He is product of the late Samuel M. Fabian, widely known piano instructor of his day, and has also studied exten outside Washington. His recital at the New Willard ballroom last season was a feature of the musical vear. Other recent activities of Mr. Thompson in- clude a tour of the largest cities of Pennsylvania. During the past week Mr. Thompson has appeared in con- junction with Charles Trowbridge Tittmann at Keith's Theater.

M. C. A. A concert at 9:35 by the Honolulans, a Hawaiian troupe under the direction of Ernest Deale, will serve to wind up the program. It would seem that summer weather and Hawaiian music form a combina- tion of well balanced broportions. The amount of mail that this attrac- tion brings in is in itself sufficient proof of its popularity. Local Radio Entertainment Saturday, August 23, 1924. NAA—Naval Radio Station, Radio, Va.

By the Associated Press. LOUISVILLE, Ky. August 23— While an entire division of national guardmen were in actaul combat against an imaginary Red army at Camp Henry Knox last night & powerful radiocasting station trans- mitted the thunder of half an hour's heavy bombardment with realistic effect. With a war correspondent in the field detailing the movement of sev- eral thousand troops, and guns boom- ing on all sides of the microphone, the feat marked a new conquest in the sphere of radio. It presaged the time when ether waves may tell the tale of a real war, Army officials believe. The United States Signal Corps supervised the radiocasting from station WHAS of the Courler- Journal and the Louisville Times. Wires Aid Wirelexs. Wire running across the field of action and connecting with a small disc where the correspondent sat dic- tating his account of the mimic war- fare was used to bring the sound picture to the radiophone station. For half an hour during heaviest firing of the night the radio carried can- nons' roar, rifle crackling and the ripping hail of machine guns in action. All night long the spectacle con- tinued, although the radio became silent after 7:30 o'clock. Infantry brigades formed the front line of ac- tion, backed by three Field Artillery units, battalions including more In- fantry, Tank Corps, ambulanc with | stretcher bearers and hos i tendants. The visible enemy is ex- pected to retire across the boundary line of the Ohio River about noon today. Army Officers Attend. Army officers from Washington, Chicago, Columbus, Ohio, and else- where and interested radio men from other cities were present as obser ers as the “Battle of Camp Knox' was fought between thousands of Na- tional Guardsmen. The sound of firing punctuated a running verbal report of the progress of the engagement made by Col. Mack Hammer, who had been as- signed especially to act as “war cor- respondent.” B governors were invited to the feat, and two of them, Govs. Branch of Indiana and Morgan of West Virginia, arrived at the camp Thursday. Gov. Fields of Kentucky was unable to attend. Adjutant gen- erals from the three states, whose 18,000 National Guardsmen training for weeks to fight the battle, were represented Directs Relay League Division. Allan H. Babcock, electrical en- gincer of the Southern Pacific Rail- road, who has just returned to his home in California from the Com- munications Conference in Mexico, was recently elected director of the | Pacific division of the American Radio Relay League.

One of the most puzzling problems of the average radio constructor is that of laying out the panel and drill- ing the mounting holes for the instru- ments and to do the job neatly and efficiently. Various methods are used in laying out panels, depending on the set which is being constructed and the directions that are given with the article or blueprint of the set. The very simplest method is that followed when a full-sized panel lay- H—o. Tt g Loty b et bt — Figl out of the panel is given. In that case all that is necessary is to paste the layout on the panel with library paste or any other paste which can be removed easily after it has served its purpose and drill holes at the markings. This method, however, can be used only when the parts used in the actual construction of the set are ex- actly the same as the ones used by the designer of the set. The mount- ing holes of all radio apparatus are not vet standardized in size of the parts, and the different locations of the mounting holes must be taken into consideration. 1f the parts used, however, are about the same In size as those used by the designer, the same center holes or shaft holes can be used and new loca- tions for the other mounting holes can be located and drilled. Dimensions Often Given. In many cases asdimensioned panel layout is given, showing the distances from one hole to the other, or, as is done in some cases, showing the dis- tance of the holes from two edges. A panel layout in which distances of holes are given from hole to hole is shown in Figure 1, while a panel layout in which the distances are given from both edges is shown in Figure 2. The disadvantage of measuring dis- tances from hole to hole lies in the tendency to increase any errors at each measurement, so that all the small errors add up, making a large discrepancy in the last measurements. 1If, for instance, a man has a tendency to measure full—that is, to take a measurement slightly larger than re- quired—the last measurement may be as much as one-eighth to one-quarter of an inch out of the way in a fairly long panel. In the second case, however, since every measurement is taken from one starting point—namely, the edge of the panel—the distances from hole to hole are bound to be very exact; at least they will not be off by a greater error than is made on a sin- gle measurement. In the first case the errors are ad- ditive, while in the second case they are not. If therefore you get a panel layout C., SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1924 dinary rule or with the rule-marked edge of the square. The two cross-lines will give a sat- isfactory mark for locating the posi- tion of the hole. Punching the Hole. The hole should then be center- punched with a centerpunch by set- ting the point of the centerpunch at the point of intersection of the lines and striking the punch smartly with a hammer. Do not make the mistake of drill- ing the holes without centerpunching them, as you will find that in the majority of cases the drill will shift and drill a hole that is not where you intended it to be. If you drill the holes as you locate them you will not have to worry about drilling any holes with the wrong-sized drill. If, however, you locate all the holes before starting to drill them you will find it ad- visable to drill the small holes first. It you do make a mistake and drill a wrong hole it will be a simple mat. ter to redrill the hole with a lar drill, but if you do not follow thi bit of advice and drill the wrong hole with a large-sized drill you will find that you will have a spoiled panel I on your hands. which is given In the manner shown in Figure 1, with distances from point to point, you will find it to your advantage to redimension the dis- tances in the manner shown in Fig- ure 2. You can do this very easily by adding successive distances to the preceding ones. In laying out panels it is best to mark the distances from the narrow or vertical edge of the panel first, using a long rule to get the distance from the edge of the panel to the straight edge of the square. The straight edge of the square can then B. Y. P. U. AT CHESAPEAKE Church Organization Takes 1,000 Members on Outing.
