In this connection Mt is well to remember the speed at Shich electro-magnetic vibrations trav “which js somewhere in the neighbo: ‘hood of 187,000 miles per second, repre- wenting a total distance of more than ‘even times the circumference of the parth, The degree of this speed does not permit a noticeable lag, no matter how many transformatio it passes through, even to fhe most sensitive of the human faculties. The method employed by the radio Broadcasting stations appointed by the United States Government to co-operate How the spark signals on tres are retranemitted on the contin than with to puzzle m to think the si Quite to the they are very a authorized to broadcast matter, aside from the CW transmitting set over which the concerts are sent, is medium wave recelving set with a range of from 1,000 to 6,000 metres. On 4 separate long’ single wire antenna the tima_dashes are received and pussed through the usual detector unit and two stages of amplification and a loud speaker. The loud speaker ie placed in front of a phonotrone which receives the time dashes from the loud speaker J telephonicly sends them on to the inuous wave transmitter to which connected and hence into the at here again. This time reduced some 2.490 metres, but retaining the heavy original tone of their ‘emanation, they speed on, using the 360-metre wave to the waiting radio audience. ‘The transformation is accomplished so quickly and thoroughly that if one had two receiving units at home, one set for recelving Arlington direct and for the reception of the local F re station, the sixnals would seem to synchronize perfectl: This same procedure was followed very successfully all over the world in letting everybody hear the nuptial mu- sic played at Westminster Abbey at the wedding of Princess Mary a few months ago, receiving tions, the recelv the aast 2.55 P. ‘with the Arlington wireless station in the dissemination of public news, of hich the time signals are a part, is yery simple and highly interesting. The method by which the weather reports le is simply by translating code received and reading them in the usual way. The scheme for giving out the time signals is quite different end as ingenious as they are useful. OfMicia] Eastern Standard time, which fs reckoned from the sun, is broadcast twice daily by N A A, Arlington, Va., the Government station just across the river from Washington, on a high power park eet. From 11.55 to 12 noon on @ wave length of 2,850 metres In a series ef long dashes the official time is sent broadcast, to be picked up wherever ac- éurate time is essential. From 9.55 to 10 P. M. the operation is repeated, and the characteristic spark of this powerful wovernment station is again heard by Rundreds of thousands listening in on short wave receivers over the coun- try after passing through local statious and being nade available at 360 metres. The present standard of time, daylight @aving, however, brings the time just os Address .... TOO MUCH AERIAL. { A great many radio enthusiasts hive found that. the seemingly ‘fool proof” part of the apparatua has been the cause of the greatest amount of trouble. This seems to be more preva- lent with our suburvan friends than with those who live in the city. The reason for this, however, is the addi- tional space that the folks from out of town have at their disposal rather than superior knowledge on the part of the cities’ inhabitants, ‘Too much aerial is just as bad as too little in a great many cases, particularly where the short wave receiving outfit is used.
