What Every Radio Fan Should Know About Aerials and Their Construc- tion, PART V. Since it is impossible to fit a stan- dard type of acrial to all conditions of location it is necessary to consider the various elements of acrial con- struction separately and to use com- binations of the elements to construct an aerial system that will fit condi- tions in hand. Practically any aerial system con- sists of the following separate and distinct parts: The aerial supports; the aerial span; the insulating system of the aerfal ‘span: the supporting wires; the lead-in; the insulating sys- tem for the lead-in at points where the lead-in is to be brought over the edge of the roof or over projecting points of the house; the insulating system at the point where the lead-in is brought into the house through the waH or window: the protective sy {tem (lightning arrester connections), and the ground connection. Where a support for the far end of the aerial span is handy in the form of a tree, a house, a garage, a clothes- pole or any other such structure, op- posite the window through which the aerlal lead-in is to be brought, the ercction of the aerial is a very sim- ple matter. All that is necessary is to fasten the acrial at the far point and at a point next the window, of course insulating the aerial span from the supports by the usual insulating s tem as shown in figures 1 and 2 of Monday's article. In osher cages, when the far sup- port ix on the other side of the house, it is best to run the wire from a pole { or,other high point on the roof of the house and bring the lead-in over the edge of the roof. ‘The importance of having the aerial as high as possible over the roof or over surrounding objects can- not be emphasized too much. Many fans will spend the greater part of | the day mussing around their own cellar and in the woodsheds of their friends trying to find a long strong trying to construct from smail pieces. The best and cheapest thing to do is to go to the nearest lumber yard and get one or two lengths, depending on the num- ber of supports you require, of lum- ber, about 18 feet long, 3 inches wide and 2 inches thic These picces make admirable sup- ports and the cost of such Strips rarely exceeds a dollar and a half. It will behoove pound foolish in this matter of getting the proper aerial supports. These poles can be fastened to the many pipes available on apartment long wood screws known L s can be used to fasten them against the sides of skylights chimneys form a very handy mean such a support end can be fitted which will act as the base and the pole can then be kept erect by means of guy wires running from the top of the pole, to points around the If you cannot get the wood poles ou can get your plumber to give you a piece of one-inch pipe, about 20 feet long. A lot of bothersome construction Made in two types—Con is most selective. It has a r Speaker. Get Yours Today. Pay Radi-O-De 1209 H N.W. This Strom support or will waste a lot of time | ou to be penny wisc and | of support; on flat roofs, the bottom on a flat board| pole and some distance from the base. | Established 1908 work can often be saved, especially in erccting an aerial on an apartment house roof, if the point at which the lead-in is taken can be arranged to come nearly directly above the point where the lead-in is to enter the win- dow. If three supports arc available and the point at which the lead-in is to be taken lies in the triangle formed by the three points of support. this can be arranged very easily, as shown in figure 1. In this case, of an apartment in which the window faces into a court. A would be an ideal’point from which to take the lead-in. The avaflable supports, B, C and D, however, would make it necessary to use some form of insulating arm to bring the lead- in over the edge ,of the roof, if only two supports, either B and D or C and D were used. The stretch be-| tween B and C would be too short. | In this case, the best thing to do is to take two wires, one going from 3 to A to D, and the other from C to A with enough left to act as the | lead-in. The wires are joined at A, | making a very eflicient type of aerial. In erecting an aerial, it is not necessary to tighten up the span sc as to bend the poles to a great e tent. A little slack should be left, thus preventing undue strain on the supports. The slight slack can then be taken up by pulling the lead-in wire taut. In cases of isolated houses where only one support can be erected, the umbrella_type of aerial is the best to us Make the support as high possible, erect it near the center of | the house and bring the insulated guy | wires, which act as the aerial wires, to the far corners of the house.

In addition to the asso. clations represented on the advisory committee, representatives of foreign trade associations in England, France and other countries have formed sep- arate executive and advisory com- mittees to handle the work of Radio week_in_their own sections. | AW | Is All You Need to Pay 2-Tube Crosley The wonder of modern radio.
