By the Associated Press NEW YORK, February 19.—The United States leads the world in radio development. but Europe, though still hampered by government restrictions, Is beginning to “tune in.” according to E. A. Brofos. Kuropean manager of the International Western Electric Co.,, who recently returned to this country. “England is the only country which compares with fhe United States” Mr. Brofos sald. “Germany, with 13 stations, is progressing rapidly. Czechoslovakia sees the radlo as a means of establishing Prague as one {of the outstanding musical and cul- tural centers of the world. The plan is to broadcast the natjonal opera. Other countries are also considering musical programs to knit the national spirit and advance culture.” Outlaw Listening Common. Installation of receiving sets Is still_illegal throughout continental Europe generally, but outlaw listen- ing is being practiced on a wide scale, Mr. Rrofos continued. The freedom with which the govern- mental regulations are being ignored, he said, indicated a trend of policy which forecasts acceptance of broad- casting on a systematic plan. “Licensing o7 owners of recelving sets and diversion of part of the proceeds to the broadcasting com- panies is an almost universal char- | acteristic of the expansion. Ger- many has under consideration a plan for renting receiving sets at a low price. Spain makes it profitable for the broadcasting companies by allow- ing_publicity. “Expectod Interference between broadcasting stations iIn the several countries is said to have been one of the reasons for governmental restric- tion of the radio. Italy has effected a combination of groups which has received the concession for the en- tire country. It is understood that Spajn will follow this procedure. Company Gets Fees. “England’s system centers about the British Broadcasting Co., which operates 17 stations. A license fee paid to the government by 800,000 people is partly diverted to the com- pany. Holland has seven concerns, but no regulaar programs are as vet sent out. France has five stations, three of which are operated by the government, with a license fee for re- celvers. “Norway installed one of the first broadcasting stations on the contl- nent, and is considered among the leaders. Sweden, with one station erected and two In prospect, has plans fofr a comprehensive system of interlinked stations. Switzerland and Ireland each have one station, but no organized broadcasting. The first station in Turkey began opera- tion February 1. Hungary, Austria, Denmark and the Baltic states have just begun to awaken to the possi- bilities of broadcasting. RADIO SER;IICE GAINS. New Swedish Station Causes Cuts ‘in Cable Tolls. The Swedish government radio station at Grimeton (near Gothen- burg) is rapidly gaining popularity, according to advices Commissioner Klath, at _ Stock- holm. In December the trafic was | satisfactory and the service on the | American ~side has been perfect. During the first thres days of its op- | eration the Grimeton station handled | 71 per cent of the messages between Sweden and the United States. Within a short time it is predicted that practically all telegraphic _com- munication with the United States will be by wireless. An evidence of the victory of radio telegraphy over cables is the present rate for cable- grams to the United States. The cable companies have been forced to take low prices in order not to lose all the business. The Advantage of Loop Reception. Part 1. Not so long ago, the greatest ad- vantage claimed for loop aerial recep- tion was its total freedom from the troublesome features of outside aerial construction. & With the growing popularity of the loop as an energy collector, fans have come to a greater realization of the many advantages and features which make the loop method of reception so desirable. Of course the fact that a loop aerial receiver can be installed in a jiffy without any trouble at all to rig up an outside aerial, without the fuss and bother of aerial and ground con- nection, without the use of lightning arrestors, without the necessity of having a fire underwriters inspection or the consent of the landiord and all the other troubles incident to the erection of an outside aerial on a roof already sadly crowded with a cobweb of miscellaneous types of aerials should not be neglected. This is by far one of the greatest ad- vantages of using a loop aerial re- ceiver. To those not mechanically inclined the erection of an outside aerial is out of the question. There are also cases of locations where the lack of proper means of support will try the ingenuity of the most ingenious ama- teur mechanic. Another great advantage of the loop aerial-type offset is its portability. In the event that the family moves to another house, it is not necessary to erect another, aerial and go through all the trbuble that such a procedure naturally entails. The set can be brought along on trips and outings and furnish enjoy- || ment to all who go along. On camp- ing trips the portability feature makes it possible for the campers to keep in touch with the outside world and be entertained with the many programs sent out by number- less broadcasting stations. The portability feature can be made use of even In the house itself. In many instances it is desirable to move the set to different parts of the house, according as it is required for different purposes. Sets On Tea Wagons. Many set owners have their sets mounted on tea wagons so that they can be moved from room to room as desired. Loop sets are especially adapted for such use. Then when mother is in the kitch- en, she can enjoy the programs by moving the set into the kitchen. When father wants it in his room he can very easily move it there. When company comes, the set can be used in the liying room and when - the family is dining, the scene can be changed into a cabaret by moving the set into the dining room and turning on the dinner music. - A loop set is self-contained. No Jowaide connections are Recessary. It from Trade |strides which have taken place most D. C EBRUARY 23 1925, Radical Changes in Radio Held Unlikely for Years to Come Refinements, Especially on Mechanical Side, Expected Constantly, as Was Case With Auto. BY E. F. McDONALD, JR. Radio has had the most remarkable growth of any industry in the world. Nevertheless and notwithstanding the extreme rapidity of its development it has followed along the lines of other industries, and chief among these is the development of the au- tomobile. There are practically parallel conditions in these two lines of achievement, and a study of the automobile industry, which has pro- gressed beyond the present point of radio development, will be beneficial to sus in predicting the future of radio. The first outstanding point in this analysis gives us the immediate con- clusion that any radical or revolu- tionary development or changes in radio are unlikely. Nothing is found tn the automobile of today which did not exist in 1905, with the exception of the electrical self-starter and the electric light, and, of course, many spall mechanical refinemenfs and particularly thosé of body design There is the same general type of clutch, the same general type of transmission (planetary, of course, has been eliminated in all but one make), the same type of differential used and the same type of brake and gear shift—the same piston, the same cylinder and the same valve action. Nolse Nearly Eliminated.® Automobiles today are virtually what they were in 1905, except that | they have gone through a process of | sradual and general refinement. Then | you could hear an automobile coming three or four blocks away. Today, cven the cheapest cars are quite noiseless as compared with the best | 1906 and 1907 cars. Yet the automo- | bile industry in 1905 was much more | of an infant from the standpoint of vears and development than the radio Industry of today. From time to time various new de- velopments are heralded as tending to revolutionize the radio art. Every such rumor naturally has a more or less panicky effect, but when the smoke has cleared away and the real- ity is apparent the so-called “new and radical development” 1s at its best only refinement. That has always been true in the past with the auto- mobile industry. Finds Folly In Waliting. In 1905 thero were countless peo- ple who made up their minds that | they would not buy an automobile until it was perfected. Had they | walted for perfection they would | still be waiting and in the meantime they would have been denfed a great ||| deal of pleasure and convenience, | There are many people today walt- ing in the same way for the perfect radio. That will never come. to pass. Perfection is never reached in any mechanical line of endeavor, but fundamentally radio has already gone about as far as the automobile | went in 20 yers. It will always, as is the automobile, be subject to re finement chiefly of a mechanical nature. With present-day radio ap- | paratus we are able to get high qual- | ity entertainment from extreme dis-| tances without interference and under unfavorable weather conditions re- gardless of the proximity of local broadcasting stations. This puts radio definitely in the class of enter- tainment rather than experiment. There is one side of the radio in- dustry, however, that has been more or less neglected. In the rapid of the energy has been devoted to electrical development and mechani- cal development has been practically ignored. Whatever improvement in radio which will come in the future will not be in the electrical but iargely in the mechanical field Little or no mechanical ingenuity has been displayed in radio so far. This has been partially due to the fact that chiefly electrical and radio engineers have been working on re- search along radio lines, and very few mechanical engineers have seri- ously devoted their time and effort to this work. The condenser, one of the most out- standing and the most neecssary part FIFTEEN MINUTES OF RADIO EACH DAY BY JOSEPH CALCATERRA Noted Authority on Radio. All Rights Reserved. Reproduction Prohibited. is portable in the fullest sense of the word. Of course, the use of a loop requires in every radio circuit, is a good e ample of the lack of mechanical re- finement. Ingersoll builds a watch selling for §1 on which far more mechanical precision is accomplished than will ever be needed in a good condenser, and yet we are still fol- lowing condenser construction along the lines lald down years ago. If you inquire of any radio engi- neer as to why condensers are made with 9, 11, 23 and 43 plates in the conventional form, you will probably get the answer that these particular numbers are followed largely be- cause the first man who made con- densers made them that way There are, of course, reasons of capacity for’ some of this construction, but largely it is simply a case of “follow the leader.” One Imprgvement Cited.
