The jacks used in this system are of the open-circuit type and are all con- nected in parallel. No trouble has been experienced in getting good re- ception in any of the 354 apartments. We have had co-operative stores, co- operative apartments and now we have the co-operative radio. The same system or idea can be applied to the average home or building with star- tling results in the way of conven- or power containing 354 dent to moving the set, batteries and other equipment from room to room. There are several possibilities which come to mind when we consider the best method to use in making every room in a house available for radio. The first thing we must consider is whether the set itself is —or is not portable. In most cases what is desired is a method by means of which a pair of phones or loudspeaker may be plugged into the recefver circuit without changing the position of the receiver installation. This is the case in the apartment house installation in hospitals, where individual phones are required for the various beds or rooms, and in homes where the location of the ruceiver is limited by the best position of the aerlal and ground.

Record of Voices to Be Studied by Committee. The radio announcer is to be the topic of discussion this week at the third meeting of the Radio Voice Technique Committee in New York. Records of the voices of all of the metropolitan announcers have been taken and a comparative study of them is to be made by the committee. In a preliminary test Herbert Glover, announcer at WJZ, was voted the most perfect announcer. Radio personality, however, was eliminated in the early consideration. The com- mittee is composed of representative men of the stage, the ministry and the universities. la temporary fleld radio station and istart transmitting in two and a halt minutes. The tests, which were emi- nently satisfactory, were staged to ascertain whether a regimental radio section could function efficiently dur- ing a 10-minute halt and get under way again with the Cavalry column. The fleld cavalry equipment com- prises an SCR 127 radio telegraph transmitting and receiving set, de- signed for transportation on pack horses. Under normal conditions it is good for a range of about 60 miles with 15 watts power. The generator. which is hand driven, produces 330 volts for the plate circuit and a lower voltage for the filaments of the four VT-2 tubes. Each Regiment Has Four Units. | Sach Cavalry regiment has four radio units, one with each squadron | and two in the headquarters troop. In describing the recent tests and the training of two squads for the demon- stration Lieut. Mortimer F. Sullivan of the 2d Cavalry states in a report to the Cavalry Assoclation that skilled personnel is the first essential. The individuals of the squad must be both expert horsemen and radio men. Ti training of the men In the mechanica end as well as in the radlo operation is a very important feature in devel oping speed. Incidentally the horses must be especially trained. By get ting the men to work two-man teams and by opposing two squads against ea®h other the drillmaster succeeded in achieving the movements of setting up and striking the station in_record time. Each squad comprised a sergeant, an operator and assistant and four horse holders, who also assist in pack ing and handling. Packing was taught carefully. The generator and th sections of the mast are packed c one horse: the radio_set box, battery | box and parts go on the second horse. d the tent, antenna bag. two mast sections and tent poles are loaded on the third horse. as apartments, a complete radio instal- lation has been made, so that tenants may have the pleasure of listening to the radio programs of various stations without having to buy a complete radio installation. Tenants Plug In. In this building four radio sets are kept in operation by an operator in the control room. A separate complete wiring system leads from the output circuit of each radio set to each apart- ment. Since each radio set i8 set for a different station, each tenant can choose a program from the four that are available. The only tenant is apparatus supplied the loudspeaker, a cord and RADIO MERRY-GO-ROUND NEW GAME FOR LISTENERS" Is Iowa Fan’s Invention—Hears Los Angeles, Calgary, Atlanta and Fort Worth.

When “halt” and ‘“open station’ are given, each man knows his duties.

After that he tests the transmission side, adjusting it to the proper wave length During this time the operator has dis- mounted and turned his horse over to a holder, unpacked horse No. 2, ar- ranging the set and its parts, hooking | it up. Then, with the sergeant, he| puts up the mast. He also has charge of the log sheet. The other men also work Changes of duties during the Adrills made each man familiar with the whole procedure, except that only the operator, sergeant and assistant op. erator handled the set after it was | hooked up.

DETROIT, May 5.—Ships of the Great Lakes and their shore stations | will send on a 715-meter wave-length, {it was decided at a_meeting of radio representatives of the United States and Canada here vesterday. Midnight of July 15 was named as the date upon which the new wave allocation goes into_effect. The change in wave length is made to reduce interference with radio re- ception in localities close to the lakes, officials here today estimating that af present 2,000,000 are annoyed by the code interference by the spark trans- mitters in use on ship and in shore stations. Officials Leave for Parley. Judge Stephen B: Davis, assistant solicitor of the Department of Com- merce; Commissioner of Navigation Carson and Chief Radio Supervisor Terrell will leave Washington Sun- day night for Detroit, where they will sit in with the conferees from the Great Lakes district on a plan to eliminate interference from ship in one piece, shaped in an ‘L’ within | an ‘L, the wires being several feet art where parallel.
