Circults of the Neutrodyne type eliminate the tendency of the tube to oscillate by neutralizing the grid to plate capacity. The circult shown below of the five- tube Controllodyne receiver, which I described some time ago and which is now available on application to the radio department with complete in- atructions and full-aized panel drilling templates uses the method of introduc. ing a high resistance variable “2" of the order of 200,000 ehms maximum in the plate circuit of the radio fre- queéncy tubes. This high resistance can be adjusted to a point just below the point of oscillation for beat reault Other methods of controlling osc| lation in tuned radio frequency cir- cuits include potentiometer and grid resistance control.

In practically every receiver which s capable of oscillating and radiating there are control members which can be used to eliminate this objectionable feature when tuning the set or changing to another station. A set radiates most when the "B’ battery voltage is high. If a Radi- ohm of 200,000 ohms is inserted in the plate lead of the radio frequenc stages as shown in the wiring d gram, this tendency of the circuita to oscillate and radiate can be controlled, by increasing the reaistance of Radi- ohm slightly before attempting to tune in a lower wavelength station. Another factor that causes sets to radiate is burning the tube flaments at too high a temperature. If vou will increase the rheostat resistance thus turning down the current through the tube filaments, the ten- dency of the circuit to oscillate will be reduced and you can tune in a station without causing unearthly squeals in your ewn or your neigh- bor’s receiver. In using a potentiometer, turn the knob of the potentiometer so as to bring the movable arm of the poten- tiometer toward the positive fllament terminal of the reaistance element be fore changing the tuning controla.

Marvin of the Weather Bureau in a letter to the Navy Department Mr. Marvin asserted that these forecasts were eagerly awaited by farmers and sailors, and suggested that they be given the right of way _from 10:05 to 10:15 p.m. Replying to a suggestion made by Secretary Hoover that the forecasts be broad- cast either at & or 11 p.m., he said the earlier hour would prevent considers tion of the weather observations taken at 8 p.m.. while the later hour + would bhe after the bedtime of many farmers While that the desire 1o interfere entertsinment, Mr. ont that the fore casts had been broadeast at 1003 p.m. for several vears. and that no complaint had heen made until re- cently It did not appear reasonable to him. he sald. that the bureau shonld he the one compelled ta make w changze of schedule. “MAGNETIC BLANKET” IS BELIEVED LIFTED saving Weather Bureau had no with any one's .

Speetal Dispatch to The Star. SCHENECTADY. N. V.. February 1S.—Bending of the radic waves in| the upper atmosphere, in somewhat the | same way as a beam of light is bent when crossing a hot stove or highly heated ground, is responsible for many of the curious and apparently contra dictory effects observed in radio trans- mission with short waves, according to William G. Baker and Chester W. Rice. of the research laborator. General Electric Co. here. the bending of light waves desert sometimes brings into view ob- jects far beyond the horizon. and pro- duces a mirage, when the radio waves are bent it may be possible to hear signals from a distant station though nearer recelving sets cannot detect them. ‘Experiments in short-wave (Le. 60 to 15 meters) transmission made du ing the past two years definitely have brought to light many peculiarities which were entirely unexpected as extensions from our many vears of long-wave experience” sald Mr. Baker. “Until recently any announce- ment of long-distance ~short-wave transmission was put down as an un- explained freak by the average radio man, and dismissed from his mind. As the number of such reports in- creased, we could no longer be con- tent to dismiss them as freaks. We are forced to ahandon our precon ceived notions as to what normal £hort-wave transmission should be. ves Typical Case. { ““Ae a tyvpical example of the pe- culiarities of short-wave transmission. let us describe the experience obtained with a 5 kw.. 30.meter transmitter. Here the signal strength rapidly de- creasee 53 we leave Lhe transmitter and reaches the lower useful limit at about 70 miles. Thix short range is what might be called the unex- pected value as viewed from our long- wave experience. If now we continue to greater distances the signal re- mains out until we reach approxi- mately 150 miles, where the day signal unexpectedly hecomes strong again. “Continning to greater distances we | find the signal gradually falling off in| intensity and reaching the limit in the vicinity of 4.500 miles by day. On a Summer night the signal does not re- appear after the 70-mile extinction un- til we are approximately 2.000 miles from the transmitter, after which the signal falls off gradually to & very low value at 7,600 miles.” These effects, which vary in amount according to the wave length and power of the transmitting station, are explained by the investigators as being due to the presence high up in the atmosphere of a layer of free electrons, of which the atoms of matter are sup- posed to be made. Nearby receiving sets hear the trans- mitting station by the direct waves as dridge. director of traffic of the District of Columbia. \WMAL, 7:30 1o 7:45 o'clock.

Fading, the bane of the broadcast il er's existence, may be caused when the sky wave comes back to earth within the limit of the ground wave, causing interference between the two.
