OF RADID SALES anufacturers Predict Huge Equipment Business for- Season. NEW YORK, September 9.—With e impetus given .to radio business a Summer that has shown sales per cent greater than any previous rm period, radio manufacturers e looking forward to a Full and intcr seamon that will set a new ecord in the purchase and use of adio apparatus, it is shown by trade eports to the radlo apparatus sec- tion of the Associated Manufacturers €f Electrical Supplies. Many manufacturers, influenced, in part, by the advance orders for ap- paratus’ placed by dealers, who are in close touch with the buying public, are enlarging their production facili- ties to meet the expected de 1and of the months to come. Should the ex- pectations reflected by a majority of the renorts be realized, sales of radio Bpparat and supplies during the ceoming Fall, Winter and Spring will aggregate $350.000,000, or about twice the record of the corresponding period of 1523-24. Some of the considerations which point to greatly expanded use of radio in the immediate future were get forth by George J. Eltz, jr, of the Manhattan Electrical Supply Co. Ireasurer of the radio apparatus sec ion. Thousands of Converts. “New sets introduced recently and Id ones improved this year have hown such an advance over last ear's models in selectivity, amplifi- ation and tone production’ by loud peakers that thousands of converts o0 radio have been made.” he declared. ‘A large number of persons who had een indifferent to the appeal of adio have just awakened with a tart to find that the art has been fmaking giant forward strides. More- pver radio has taken on a new artis- tic stature. When broadcasting was rst begun, there was the attractive ovelty of drawing music and speech rom the air, and just what came in attered little, but now the main fnterest is in the quality of the en- fertainment and the perfection of its reproduction ‘The current non-technical appeat t radio, which is greatly widening rlx circle of adherents, is shown in wo ways. First, the sale of parts that can be used in building sets at home has not increased substantially, vhereas the sale of sets has doubled n a year. Second. a critical interest s being taken in programs. This is rought forcibly to the attention of roadcasters by thousands of letters feceived daily at the studios. The Jistening public is quick to evidence rs disapproval of a poor program nd equally generous with praise when some especially good entertain- ent has been sent through the air..

Sunday morning, September 7, I picked up KPO in San Francisco, playing dance music and a few plano solos, one being “What'll T Do” and another “Limehouse Blues.” The sta- tion signed off at 1:01, Pacific time, or 4:01 a.m., Eastern Standard time. Have a one-tube set with two-stage amplifier.—J. B. S. We'll leave this one for the “night owls” to verify. RADIO QUERIES Radio Edito About 11:15 or 11:30 Sunday night a station was broadcasting dance mu- sic. The announcer asked leave of four minutes for the boys to take a smoke and return. The call letters sounded Mke WHA. Please find out for sure. This station had a ten- dency to face.—C. E. L. There is a station with the call let- ters WHA at Madison, Wis. It is operated by the University of Wis- consin. It is not known whether this station was broadcasting last night. Radio Editor: Can you or a reader tell me what station was broadcasting the entire score of the oper: wavelength of about 312 meters Sat- urday night, beginning about 11 o'clock? T received it very clearly for about an hour, but the announce- ment was drowned out by an amateur and other interference.—R. C. W. Radio Editor: Will you please tell me what sta- tion was on the air at about 11:45 p.m. on three different occasions? ‘When the call letters were given, a station very near the same dial num- bers would butt in and I would miss them. When signing off, the an- nouncer bid us “Good night, good luck and God bles you!" Perhaps some radio fan will be kind enough to tell me? I will see it in the radio column, as I read it every night— E. D. C. i The “Good night, good luck and God Dbless you!" sounds like Roxie. The impresario of the Capitol Theater “gang,” however, signs off with “Good night, pleasant dreams, God bless you!" Moreover, Roxie is not on the air around midnight. Radio Editor: Is insulated or bar wire. best for the antenna? I am using bare wire, but a friend advised me to replace it with insulated wire.—A. N. C. Insulated wire is best because it does not corrode as long as the insu- lation kecps good. Contrary to popa. lar” belief, insulation does not retar radio frequency energy. Radio Editor: Is there a station with the letters WQJ? where located?—J.

One of the most interesting and fascinating phases of the romance of radio is that which deals with the control of moving mechanisms at a distance by means of radio waves. There is something weirdly fasei- nating about the very idea of making a ship, an automobile, an airplane or any other moving mechanism of war or peace time utility move about with no one on board, but following eyery command of a guiding intelli- gence located many miles away. The very idea not only grips the imagina- tion of the average layman but also thrills the sclentist who has begun to look upon such manifestation of man's control of natural phenomena a8 more or less commonplace. Radio coptrol is not a new devel- opment as new developments go. Many experiments -along this line waré performed long before the war. Probably the first man to make a ‘wireless-controlled car which obeyed his every command was the electrical wizard, Nikola Tesla. As far back as 1898 he demonstrated a car which went through a séries of movements on a floor at his command, trans- mitted to the operating control of the car by radio signals. At the out- break of the war it was thought that this new branch of radio would play a very important part.in the develop- ment of machines of destruction which could be #ent into enemy ter- ritory in the form of airplanes and automobiles or could be directed against the ships of the enemy with- out so much as having a single man on board. > Signals Operate Relayw. In mechanism of this kind the ac- tual power required to move the mechanism and operate the controls is supplied locally by clockwork, bat- terles, motors and generators, as the case may be. The radio signals mere- 1y operate sensitive relays which are adjusted in such a manner that the sending of a particular type of radio impulse causes them to operate or release the local power which actual- ly does the work. The action in this case is analogous in honor of Gen eneral of the Armies of the vocal solon .. 11111110 8:45—History of Atiantic City Fire Department 9 TO 10 P. 10 TO 11 P.M. es Orchestra . 12 MIDNTGHT TO 1 AM. 5 Philadelphia John Philadelnhia Cincinnati New York Chicazo Chicago Tos Angeles New York Chicago Ft.

One of these devices, which has been exhibited far and wide and has ex- cited the wonderment of spectators throughout the country, is Edward P. Glavin's radio ci This miniature battleship on wheels was perfected by Mr. Glavin after hine years of per- sistent and painstaking effort. The device consists of an ingenious arrangement of mechanical move- ments and controls which operate on a code based on the transmission of a series of radio impulses. As each new arrangement of signals is given various: control elements are actuated which establish the proper connec- tions of the mechanisms with the electrical supply system of the car to start the car in motion, to stop it, to turn the steering wheel in one direction or the other, to light vari- ous lamps or series of lamps and, in short, to perform the many antics which mark it as such & wonderful little box of marvels.
