PAI:TOECIL It is a well known fact that prac- tically every agency of nature which helps us can also hinder us in the accomplishment of our aims. ‘We cannot do without the sun, yet too much of its heat, resulting in raging forest fires and water famines, is about as bad as too little of it. Friction is a wonderful help in many cases, but a perfect nuisance in others. Water can sustain life and also destroy it. Such is the case with the prop- erty of the vacuum tube to generate oscillations ‘or produce waves of high frequency. Radio transmission and reception as we know it today would be impossible it it were not for this property of vacuum tubes to act as oscillators. Radio frequency current generators; modulators; continuous ‘wave transmission and reception; re- generative receivers; superhetero- dyne recelvers would all be impossi- ble if it were not for this property of the vacuum tube to generate high frequency currents, Property of *Tube. On the other hand, the only factor which limits the amplification in a receiver and makes the use of more than two stages of tuned radio fre- quency amplification’ particularly im- possible is this self-same property of a vacuum tube to generate oscil- lations. e The action of a tube as an inde- pendent oscillator for use in trans- mitter and recelver circuits is very interesting. A simple tube oscillator circuit consists of & vacuum tube, with a coil, tuned by a variable con- denser connected in its grid ecircuit. Another coll is connected in the plate circuit with suitable “B” battery, and the two coils are ptaced in inductive relation. to each other, with the polarity of the coils properly ar- ranged to produce oscillations, ‘When the circuit is properly tuned and adjusted, a very slight disturb- ance of the electrical balance of the circuit, such as tuning on the filla- ment current, or connecting in the plate battery, is sufficlent to pro- duoe the initial flare to set the circuit into operation. Builds Up Oscillation. Each additional amplified impulse fed back into the grid -circuit tends to fincrease the disturbing element and to build up the oscillation strength to higher and higher values, within the limits imposed by :the flattening ends of the characteristic curve of the tube.

OFFICE 1,850 Patent Applications . Are Pending, With Work Five Months Behind. Radlo patent applications are al- most overwhelming officials of the radio division of the United States Patent Office. Despite the fact that the number of examiners handling radio patent applications has been almost tripled, the radio division is losing ground before the greatest Influx of applications in the history of the office. There are now 1,850 radio patent applications awaiting action, as com- pared to 1,694 at the first of this year. The radio division iz five months behind the applications. The number or radio applications took such a jump following the popu- larizing of broadcasting that radio had to be divided into a separate dtvision in August, 1924. There now are 12 assistants in the radio divi slon alone. And still they are los- ing ground. » When the radio section was made a separate division in 1924 it was 2,100 applications, or eight months, behind. By the beginning of 1926 this had been cut to five months, or 1,594 applications. Since that time the number of applications awalting action has steadily grown. In February it was 1,686; March, 1,714; April 1,728; May, 1,756; June, 1,790, and July, 1,850, Profits of the government railways in_the Netherlands are increasing.
