RUSSELL Car owners throughout the world have followed John Smith in his daily motoring—and have bencfited thereby. He also is a radio fan, and is willing that his fellow fans should be amused and profit by his evening erperiences. Smith has a faculty of “fAnding out things.” so it will pay radio devotees to follow him in The Sunday Star each veek. No. 81—Helps From Head Sets. “What's this?” I asked Smith, pointing to a small box tucked away in the cabinet where he keeps his radio batteries and charge: “Oh, they're the phon he ex- | plained. “I often wonder why I bought them.

Smith couldn't see it that way at all. To him the phones were a reli of the ploneer days in radio. They | had been thrown into the discard by the lUIhIr\r\gukmu They hurt one's head. They were clumsy as well as uncomfortable. They used only a part of the set and were not a mark of progress. | “That's true enough,” T admitted. “The world travels in high-powered vehicles, and speeds of 2 miles a minute no longer are anything to become excited about. But there still is much to be learned from the tortolse and the snail.” Smith pulled out the little box and started examining the phones. If | they could teach him anything, he was willing to learn. | " The first thing he noticed was that Smith junior had been tampering with them, and that one set was | more or less in sections. This of- fered an excellent opportunity to | examine the construction of a typi- cal phone, and compare it with other | features of the set. | %I don't suppose vou ever have | stopped to consider why the cup of | this phone is made of aluminum,” 1 | began. “From all you know about radio, you are aware that insulation is a prime requisite, and that metals are taboo within the flelds of cur- rent-carrying colls. And_yet, here lyou have aluminum as_the cup or | frame of the phone. How's that?” Aluminum Non-magnetic. 't fool me there,” Smith “Aluminum is “You cal ceplied. | netle. it is useful insulation material “Good. enough! him. “Now when aluminum used in a set you will understand why it is not outlawed. In looking into this phone, however you probably do not know that the metal inside the cup is magnetic.” “You mean the poles of the small magnet with the coils of fine wire around them?" he asked. “No, I mean the flat metal at the s as some molded you see non-mag- | For this particular purpose, | T complimented | “What the phones really teach you is that the value of any piece of radio equipment is largely a matter of the quality of its materials and the skill with which it is assembled. You were telling me only ithe other | day how Brown's earphones seemed | to ‘wear out. Now I'll show you | how that happened. | “Unless this larger magnet at the | bottom is made of the kind of metal that will stay magnetized permanent- Iy, the phones become dead because there can be no drawing of the diaphragm into the characteristic dished_position. The small magnet 1s made of soft iron, usually called Swedish iron, and must become de- magnetized as quickly as it is mag- netized. Without the help of the permanent magnet, it cannot draw upon the diaphragm in order to keep it in position to vibrate in accordance with the sound values carried through the coils electrically. Within | reasonable limits, the more the per- | manent magnet is magnetized, the | more sensitive the phones will be. | Chrome and tungsten steels retain }(heh" magnetism longer than mos { of their kind, but they must given a special treatment before they | truly can be pronounced permanently magnetized. > “I_have a motion that Brown's| trouble also had something to do | with the coils in the phones. You fellows know only half the story | whenyou say that the higher the | phone is rated in resistance the | better it is, because there are ways of fooling you. Resistance wiring can be inserted in the coils to make the phones show high ohmage, but | this destroys real sensitivity. It is the number of turns of wire in the coils that counts. If there are a Izreaz many of them, and ohmage is | bigh on this account, you have the sort of resistance you need.” By this time Smith was plugging | in the phones to see whether he | couldn’t "gather some more helpful | hints from them.

Unfortunately for the radio fans, and the broadcast stations themselves, some of the new organizations which have entered the wireless entertain- ment game cannot seem to stay put. After choosing wave lengths they thought the best available, which were announced by the Commerce De- partment as their normal channels, these stations change their wave lengths when and as they please. This, to say the least, is confusing to the fans. Iven with new broad- cast lists available every month or week it would be impossible to keep the fans posted as to the correct chan- nels on which to listen in for such stations. If the fans can't find these stations what is the use in their broadcasting? Perhaps this is too pessimistic, only a few stations have made more than one change, but, on the other hand, if this is a forerunner of shifts by many stations, the future outlook is discouraging. WCRW, a new Chi- cago station licensed recently to op- erate on 293.9 meters, shifted this | week to 416.4 meter. {BA, an- yther new Chicago broadcaster, also Changed from its original of 2883 meters downward meters. An oviginal shift, to least. Conditions in Chicago, ever, are bad, with 45 stations in the nelghborhood. New York is al- most as congested, with practically 40 stations located within 60 miles of its center, and shifts are expected there also. WKDB's switch to a lower wave length may be indicative of the in- creasing popularity of the shorter wave lengths in the broadcast band with the increase in the number of stations on the air. Many broad- casters have found these channels very satisfactory. WOK, on 217 meters, is received well at consider- able distances from Chicago and is popular. It may develop that the | lower channels just above 200 mete: down to which most standard receiv ing sets will now tune, will become as desirable as are the higher wave length: There may be a demand for chan. between 200 and 260 meters where most of the stations are rela- tively low in power and interference as among the on the longer If this should come relieve the tension thirds of the band interference and 1 2.2.8.0.0.¢.6.¢ 0.6 ¢ Weather Reports Interrupted. Some of the changes in wave lengths are causing interference with the weather and time transmission of NAA at Washington, according to re- ports received by the Department of Commerce.
