Los Angeles 480 Los = Kennedy Announces FOREIGN PROGRAMS 10 BE BROADCAST British Stations to Send Out Continental Concerts Dur- ing International Test. NEW YORK, September 20 (Spe- clal).—One of the many interesting features of the international broad- casting tests scheduled for the week of November 24-30 is the probable re- broadcasting of French, Dutch, Ger- man and Swiss radio programs by the stations of the British Broadcasting Company, according to an announce- ment made today by Arthur H. Lynch, editor of Radio Broadcast, the magazine arranging the international tests. The nine stations of the Brit- ish Broadcasting Company will have special programs arranged for the benefit of American radio listeners during the tests, but Capt. West, as- sistant chief engineer of the British radlo concern, plans to give the American listeners additional thrills by rebroadcasting continental pro- grams. “Many inquiries have come in to us asking why it is not possible to hear the British and continental radio sta- tions without a special test week,” said Mr. Lynch. “The answer is sim- ple, for the foreign stations operate on practically the same wave length as the American stations. “Allowing for that and the difference in time, it is not possible to hear the English stations when the American broadcasters are on the air. This year, the second of the transatlantic broadcasting tests arranged by us, we have the assurance of all the Ameri- can stations that they will maintain absolute silence while the foreign stations are sending. “Radio listeners in all parts of the country are even now beginning to overhaul their receivers. The radio trade should feel a great increase in business as a result of the tests, for practically 50 per cent of all the re- ceivers in use will require new ‘B’ batteries and-at least the purchase of one new tube in order to get the best possible reception.” Among the most recent broadgasters in this country to lend thfir co- operation to the international tests is the Westinghouse Electric and Manu- facturing Company, whose stations, WBZ, Springfield, Mass.; KDKA, East Pittsburgh, ~ Pa.; KFKX, Hastings, Nebr., and 'KYW, Chicago, will join in sending special features across the water. REBROADCASTING VOICE FROM PLANE IS SUCCESS | Trial Carried on in Heavy Storm and Listeners Hear Message Clearly. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 20.—R@dio broadcasting by voice from a United States Army airplane to a radio sta- tion on the ground where a receiv- ing set was connected with a micro- phone and the message rebroadcast was successfully accomplished in a trial during a driving rainstorm here yesterday. Capt. C. W. Richard and_ Lieut. Lawrence P. Hickey from Chanute Field, Rantoul, 111, flew over Chicago and broadcast a message to WGN, local radio station. The station re- ceived the message and transmitted | it simultaneously, and has received many ‘messages from listeners-in, stating that the voice of the man in the airplane had been distinctly heard, despite interference caused by the noise of the whirr of the motor. The airplane broadcasting station had a sending radius of 90 miles, the message was sent as the plane flew along the Chicago lake shore. sho VESGIAEL 15 CONCERTS SCHEDULED Winter Program of St. Louis Or- chestra by Radio. ST. LOUIS, September 20.—The 15 concerts this winter of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra will be broad- cast by station KSD. The first con- cert will be given on November & and the last on March 14, 1925. Rudolph Ganz, the noted pianist, who is conductor of the orchestra, will direct all the concerts which are broadcast. Ganz is now abroad looking over the possibilities in the line of new music for the cominyg season, and will arrive in America next week and begin rehearsals with the orchestra early in October.

Eliminating Rheostats and Battery Switches. ‘With the old types of tubes such as the UV 200 and UV 201, a means of adjusting the filament current char- acteristic of each tube was desirable because the tubes were not very uni- form and it was necessary to adjust each tube to the best possible operat- ing point. The new hard tubes such as the UV 2-1A, C301A, UV 199 and C299 are not critical as regards the adjustment of the filament current characteristics 50 that two or more tubes can be ad- justed at the same time with a single rheostat. The difference between the results obtained when each tube is adjusted separately and when all of complishing the desired result. Our only salvation in that case is to find some way of using the rheo- stat for controlling all the tubes, but to arrange a switching system in such a way that the unused tubes are cut out when it is desired to listen on the detector or first stage. The manner in which this is done in a very simple way is shown in the diagram. Filament control jacks are used in practically the same way as they are used in a standard circuit which has a rheostat for each tube. In this case, however, the rheostat is connected into the negative filament lead next to the battery terminal. The other connections are made exactly in the same manner as in the standard circuit using filament control jacks, with the exception that no rheostats TONIGHT A Real Treat for Radio Fans Broadcast Direct From Wardman Park Flotel By Station WCAP.

There are several advantages to be considered when two or more tubes are adjusted at one time by the use of a single rheostat. In the first place the number of adjustments is reduced. The construction is simpli- flied. Panel space is conserved In many cases, making it possible to build a set in a much smaller space. A saving in cost of equipment results from the uge of fewer parts, When one rheostat is used to con- trol the filaments of all three tubes in‘a set consisting of a detector and two stages of audio frequency ampli- fication,” by the ordinary method, a serlous objection arises which threat- ens to overbalance the advantages which result from the combination. It is found that all three tubes must be kept lit, even though listening is done only on the detector or on the first stage of amplification. The only way to overcome this objection in such a set is to remove the tubes that are not in use from their sockets, or loosen them in the sockets in such a way that the filament circuit is brok- en.” This 18 at best a poor way of ac. are connected into the circuits next to the filament terminals of the sockets. No attempt has been made in this diagram to give all the connections not essential to the filament circuit, in order to avoid the confusion which an involved wiring diagram usually causes. The connections from the jacks to the B battery and from the detector tube to the funing elements are made in the regular way, and are not neces- sary to a proper understanding of the filament circuit. This filament circuit can be incor- porated in any of the standard detector and two-stage audio frequency ampli- fler circuits. It can also be used in circuits using additional stages of radio frequent amplification. In such cases the fllament circuits of the radio frequency circuits are made in the usual way and the filament control cir- cuits incorporated only in the detector and audio frequency stages. When the plug is inserted into the detector jack, only the detector tube will light; when it is inserted in the first stage jack only the first two tubes will light up; when it is inserted into the last stage jack, all three tubes will light up. All tubes are out when the plug is removed. Dirt—Free!
