24 | EUROPE SEEKING CONTROL OF RADIO Proposal to Include Broad- casting in World Telegraph Parley So Interpreted. BY CARL H. BUTMAN. Every radio listener and amateur, as well as all branches of our commer- cfal radio Industry, may be efther the pursuit of happiness or the routine of business if Europe attempts to regulate radio for all countries of the world. The proposal abroad to in- clude radio in the inte graph conference, scheduled to be held September 1 in Paris, is the new bone of contention. The joker is that the United States is not a party to the tele: graph conference and has no vote. Although the United States Govern ment will be represented unofficially a? the telegraph conference, it is un- derstood that a protest against includ ing radio in the general articles will shortly go forward. ‘With an internationiul ence scheduled to be held try within a year, it is onl; that the radio inferests bject to having matters pertaining to vadio discussed and possibly settled prior to that convention and for the Government 1o hold the same view. As the United States has never siened the telegraph convention, our Government and industry will be un- @ble to more than expre: their views on the radio situation at Paris. In Iurope it is the aim of most of the larger countries, particularly England, ¥rance, Italy and Belgium, to include telegrapl cable and radio regulations under the one head of telegraphy. This is because they are all interlin d in one way or another, and in general ave controlled or operated by the gov ernments. American views are differ- ent, although there is almost the same velationship between the operating companies. Our industries do not want the Government to join the telegraph union. radio_confer. this coun- Chief Reason Assigned. he chief reason is believed to be the fact that this Government exer- cises no control or regulation over in- dependent cables, telegraph, telephone or radio companies. If the United ates did sign the articles agreeing to accept the international regulations and requirements it is feared that Government regulation here would soon follow—that is, that a body simi- lar to the Interstate Commerce Com- miission would be authorized to regu- late communications just as the Inter- state Commerce Commission regulates transportation. Rates would then come up for standardization or re- vision, and might put radio and cable rates on a parity. To date no attempt is being made to regulate or supervise tariffs on communications, and all branches of the communication indus- tey would fight such a move. There are, however, legislators who favor it. The tion of such a regulatory bpdy might or might not interfere with our communication rates, which are not considered excessive over for- eign rates, although the service is re- ported better here than abroad. U. S. to Declare Position. Although Government officials will not discuss the situation with regard o either the telegraph or radio confer- ence, it is known that a statement giv- ing the position of this Government in the matter of radio is soon to go for- ward to Paris. A list of unofficial delezates, now thought to be on the Fresident’s desk awaiting his approval, will ulso be forwarded to the headquar- ters of the telegraph convention. It is believed that no Government repre- sentatives will serve in the capacity of delegates, and that no officials of any communication company will be designated, but that either unattached elecirical engineers, scientists or well informed educators or business men will constitute the United States dele- gation of observe Considerable concern is manifest against the inclusion of radio into the | telegraph conference, because radio | has come to form such an important | fynction in American business and | | pwasure. Without an active voice at Paris the American dc gates would be heipl in opposing regulations | which rmight interfere with commer- | clal, amateur and broadcasting radio activities in our own country.

Within a short time it is believed that the Government will issue a pro- nouncement indicating its position, which will be of interest to every fol- lower of radio progress. MOVIES NOW IN AbCORD WITH RADIO PROMOTERS a Silver Screen and ‘““Unseen Voice” | to Celebrate Allegiance With Mammoth Broadcast. Yhe movies have stopped askance at radio and have decided definitely to be good friends. With Will Hays, the grand mogul of Movie- land, heartily in accord, the silver ereen and the unseen voice will cele- brate their alliance with a mammoth broadeast program, in which all of the butstanding movie broadcasters of Manhattan will take part. “This program is to be held in New Tork some time within the next two nionths, and it will officially open the fall campalgn for bigger and better movies. The plafi is to give the con- cert to the Nation at large through the chain tie-up made famous by the American Telephone and Telegraph it was not so long ago that many o ‘the leading film producers and ex- hibitors thought they saw in radio a ayeat menace and began preparing an :@tempt to kill it off.

Smith was sitting before the recelv- ing set twisting the dfals slowly and deliberately, despite the fact that he had not even switched on the storage battery. It appeared as though the thing had gone to his head. But I re- called our conversation of a few days previous, and concluded that he was merely taking an_opportunity to find out what really happened when the dials were twisted. “I am quite sane,” he volunteered, but I don’t mind confessing that I'll be a little queer pretty soon if I don't find out the essentials of this tuning business. set has to be regulated so as to get in tune with the length of the waves be- ing intercepted by the aerial, but I'll be hanged if I can see why a coil of wire and one of the densers will do it. He could understand readily that a crystal or a tube will convert. the highly oscillating or alternating cur- rent of the radio wave into pulsating direct current, and he could see how, by making the faint radio current con- something to operate a loud er. But “this tuning business” left him nonplussed. At this point I asked Smith to ac- cept one fact as the basis of his radio education, namely, that radio fre- quency i§ determined by what are | known as inductance and capacity. | The same thing applies to the trans- | mitter, as well as to the receiver. ‘Radio frequency is governed by Inductance and capacity,” he repeated. “Good enough! I believe you said capacity was the name given to ine storage ability of an electrical circuit. But what is inductance? 1 explained that inductanc purpose, could be considered as the length of the conductor in the radio circuit, although this is a loose defini- tion for something that is really far more complicated. Inductance is also the pecullar habit an electrified or magnetized coil of wire has of induct- ling current in a non-electrified coil | which does not even touch it. It is common, however, to regard the tun- ing coil or apparatus of the radio set as the inductance, probably because the inducting is accomplished therein. Explains Inductance. “When I refer to the length of the conductor as determining the amount of inductance in the circuit,” I added, “remember that the term ‘length’ in: cludes other factors. - Generally speak- ing, there is ten times as much induc- tance in a wire 100 feet long as in one just 10 feet long, but the size of the wire used and the way the wire is colled also make a difference. Unless vou are building a set, it fsn’t neces- sary to consider all these points, but perhaps the general idea will help you to see why there are a number of dif- ferent tuning units for different sets. | Thene are plain tuning coils, variom- {eters, vario-couplers, honeycomb coils, duo-lateral coils and others.

If there is just one | series of powerful waves being picked |up by the aerial ground circuit, the | detector will handle it alone, but where | there are several stations of fair equal strength you must make some | provision for tuning to the respective wave lengths if you want anything approximating selectivity. The more inductance you have the greater the wave length range of the set, and the more provisions vou make for vary |ing the inductarice—the length of the | colled wiring—the more selective the | set will be. ‘“You've seen young Smith’s tuning | coil, with its switch that helps him tap | the ‘coil at various points. Well, that Is his crude but fairly successtul way of varying the inductance. Now, with |a more advanced unit, like the variom- eter, the job is simpler and the re- sults are better. In a variometer the coils are connected in series, one ro- {tating within the other. When you wrn the movable coil so that the windings of both are parallel you have the greatest amount of inductance, and the set will tune to-the longest wave length for which the instrument was designed. When you turn the |inner coil at the sharpest angle to the other, the coils ‘buck’ each other and inductance is at a low point. That represents the lowest wave length of the set. Vario-Coupler More Selective. | “In a vario-coupler there is no di- [rect connection between the inner and |outer coils—just a true inductance. | The outer coil is tapped at various | points and a switch s provided. This | is even more selective than the variom- eter. Finally you come to the coils of fixed length. These, however, are designed usually so as to be inter. changeable. And used with variable plate condensers you can vary the wave length’ so as to reduce it when connecting the condenser in seres with the inductance unit or to increase i hen connecting in parall Stop!” Smith ordered. “I'm get. ting puzzled again. Just let me go back to that rule about inductance and capacity again. My head isn't a low- loss condenser, you know." Next week—No. 26, Adding to the | Set.
