By Capt. Robt. Scofield Wood. D. F. C., M. C., Croix de Guerre with four palms; formerly Commander 167th Squadron, Royal Air Forces. E. W. R, C. TO SHOW V. T. MYS- TERIES. Under the auspices of The Evening World Radio Club, the American Tele- phone and Telegrapti Companys mov- ing pictures of radio will be shown to the public for the frst time In New York City during the week of May 22 at the Radio Show in the 7ist Regiment Armory. ‘These pictures, which tell the story of radio so vividly, will be shown twice datly, once In the afternoon and again during the evening. Aside from the popular indoor sport of trying to estimate the number of radio sets scattered over the country, which incidentally ts nearing the million and a half mark, there are some 5,000,- 000 persons, more or leas, who are in- terested in learning the whys and whero- fores of the theory behind ‘radio ope.- ations. This is not a task to be entered into lightly after a heavy meal, as any ‘one knows who has tried it. The sad and unalterable truth is that electric current is not visible to the eye. in fact, it does not directly affect any ne the senses, and so, in spite of the fact that the faith of us average persons Is quite equal to all the vicissitudes of favorite stock, on the curb or board,” we find it difficult to take of the alleged pranks ‘of the electric current on faith and to follow explana- tions which deal with a thing of which we have absolutely no actual acquaint- ance. If only some means could be devised for making the electrical currents visi- ble, the way of the ‘radio expounder would immediately become as straight and broad as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's road to heaven. This brings to light a serious over- sight on the part of nature. Since the very short electrical waves known as Nght are visible, why shouldn't all wave lengths have been made visible? This would Include the electric current in all its forms, because, of course, when @ eurrent flows in a wire it simply means tha! ordjnary electric waves are travel- ling along the outside of that wire and should therefore be visable. But there is cause for hope, for it may very likely be, if the widespread int t in radio continues, the next stage in evolution will bring this desired extension of the sense of sight. But while waiting for evolution to run {ts eourse it may be well to adopt other means, And now some motion pictures come along in which this very thing has been attempted, and indeed in a large measuse accomplished. With the help of motion pictures the engineers of the Bell telephone system consulted their imagtrations, their text books and their technical reports and have produced a movie which will give the layman a very concrete notion as to how the radio telepnone operates. Any one who wants to be let into the secrets of the family life of the “electron” and ¢ “ton” will find it to his profit to at i this first appearance of the very latest of film stars. As everybody knows, the electron ts the smallest thin, covered by physicists, but they have hopes of straining our imaginations still further by sometime discovering some- thing many times smaller. However, to the causual observer there would seem to be a grave danger in this undertak- ing, as there may not be space enough behind the decimal point to express its size after it is found, Considering the size of the electron, it has been calculated that it is the Bighest paid star in the movie firma- ment. This will be obvious when we re- member that it consists of negative electricity and weighs only one two thousandth as much as an atom of hy- drogen. Or if each electron in a drop of water were as big as the drop the original drop would then fill the en- tire basin of the Great Lakes, inciden- tally leaving enough over to quench New York City’s Volstead thirst for the next 20,000 yeara and then some— maybe. ‘The electron ts introduced In the film because of the important part It plays in the action of the vacuum tube which is largely responsible for the present popular development of radio tele- phony. The vacuum tube has but recently emerged from the physiciat’s laboratory and congequently any one who is de- sirous of understanding its operation will find it desirabla to cultivate the acquaintance of many thinge ‘which heretofore he has blissfully {i nored. The film is designed to eluci- date the amplifying, detecting and mod- ulating properties of the vacuum tube. Some fundamental Information in re- gard to waves is also included In the movie, Not all waves are alike, and in particular Mayor Hylan will be re- lieved to know that the film has noth- ing to do with crime waves. It does, however, treat of ter waves, air waves and electric es and it brings out clearly the man in which elec- tric waves are used to carry and re- produce the sounds of the voice and other air vibrations such as music, It also shows how the electrical waves ure shaken loose from the antenna of a transmitting station, how they spread out in space and how they exelte an electric currgnt In @ receiving antenna as they pass by it If you want to get a good grip on the fundamentals of radio in the short- est time lnaginable, see these tntensels The interesting which t be obtain months 0 pictures. t could not method by So that the little tots are rstand and enjoy them. a liberal education for the and engineer.
