t)i roe Biich Hlghta nnd measuring the

to calculate the hhlp'n location.
Old Method Poor
Rut this method wan inefficient In
tho extreme. Anything tbnt inter
filed with the visibility of shore
object fog, rain, haze, atormK,
darkness prevented it from being
carried out.
Ity lining Kckhnrdt' nnd Keiaer'a

Three hydrophones are- act at
kitov n pointH a little way off shore
in about 00 feet of water. A hydro
phone ih an instrument for receiving
underwater sound.
Kneli hydrophone Is collected by
cable with a rndio transmitter on
land.
The charting ship, nt sea, fires a
Fruit II bomb under water. The ex
act instant nf firing is automatically
recorded. The sound of the explosion
travels through the water to the hy-j
drophones, each hydrophone autonmt-i
ically keys its radio transmitter, and
cah transmitter then flashes a sig
mil bn-k to the ship. The time of
these is also automatically recorded,
Distance Is Figured
The time token to transmit the
radio signals is virtually instantan
eous. Therefore the lapse between
the time the bomb Is set off and the
time the radio signal is received ts
figured as the exact time it takes the
sound wave to rench the hydrophone.
Ity figuring the rate sound travels
under water it Is then possible to
tell the exact distance of the ship
from ench hydrophone nnd from
this to figure the exact location of
the ship at sen.
The hydrophones nro tuned so they
en n't return the rounding at the same
time.

Winding Needs Care
The inductance is wound as fol

IMh JJl and 11, the rotors, are
wound ulike. They consist of Jt.S
turns of No.' I'O DCG wire, wound
on tubbing ti u-i inches in diameter
und l'i niches high. First wind 10
turns of the wire, then jump half
inch and continue the winding for 1!)
more turns.
itore holes between the windings,
for a -incli shaft.
The other four windings, LI, L2,
Tl and 1, go on one piece of tubing
0 inches long by It Vi inches in dia
meter. Almut onc-ipinrler of, an inch fro'B
the end h'-gin by winding 10 turns
of No, -4 DCC wire, jump an inch
and continue winding "Ms wire for
10 more turns. Itore a tu.v hole in
the end of this winding, big enough
lo lake the wire tlirough it to (lie
inside of the coil. This completed
coil LI.
Take this end out from the lushl-
nnd solder to it the end of No. I'fl
!('(' wire which has been cut to a
length nf 10 feet. Here nnother tiny
hole and on the imiiut side of the tub
ing, und carry this 10-fovt length of
wire from the inside out.
Now druw the wire tight and wiud
six turns of the 20 wire in the same
direction as the other winding. This
is coil Tl.
Itore another tiny hole at the end
of this winding, bring the rest of
the wire to the inside and leave it
bung out for a while.
One-eighth of an inch from this
last hole, In i re another one. Then
start coil L2, cvnsiMing of 10 turns
of No. 42i DCC wire, a jump of

winding for 10 more turns. At the,
end of this winding bring the wire
through the inside again, as in the
other cases.
Now take the five feet of No. 20

Other Connections Needed
In I ht middle of tlie HpacH fr
coils LI and 1.2, bore (piartcr-inch
holes for rotor hafls.
The connect injiH are made as fol
lows: The beginning of rotor coil, L-'t
goes to the antenna psl. The end
nf this coil goes to the beginning of
coil LI. The end of coil LI anil the
beginning of eoil Tl have been con
nected in the procem of winding. a
described. Also the end of evil Tl
and the beginning of coil T'J.
I he beginning nf roil 1.2 is con
nected with (.lie beginning of rotor
coil 1,4. The end of coil L2 goes to
the plate of the detector tube, while
Hie end f rotor coil LI goes to one I
if the phone terminals. 1 he olh'r
phone terminal is connected to the
positive voltage of a 4i degree It-
battery.
The end of coil T2 goes to the
ground, which Is also connected with
the filament of the tube and the neg

ltotor LI is attached to the shaft
going through coil LI, and the other
rotor, L4. is on the L2 shaft.

I.'t) What type of insulator should be
used? (4 I How far should the insula
tors be from the point nf attachment?
(.") What gauge wire should be used
as the lead-in and ground wire? II.
(. F. Answer The ideal length for
an antenna suitable for reception of
broadcasting stations varies from Phi
to l.0 feet, including the length of the
lead-in. If the receiver is close to
a broadcasting station sharp tuning
will not be possible with a long an
tenna. In the outlying sections the
loO feet is a good length, hut in the
city 10t feet, is generally plenty. (2)
No. 14 copper, Any good anten
na insulator about four inches long.
(4) At least a foot. (.) No. 14 can
be used for both lead-in and ground ;
wire. It is not necessory to have 1
a joint in the antenna if the wire is 1
purchased long enough to be extended j
to serve ns the lead-in.
Question What is the call of the
Canadian National Railway radio sta
tion at Montreal? (21 I have trouble
with the programs of distant stations
fading nut and then coming back.
How con this be stopped? O. 1. S.
Answer OXJtM. CO Fading is n
natural phenomena of the ether which
cannot, be controlled at the receiving
or transmitting station. It is thought
to be due to the electrical constitu
tion of the upper atmosphere. Scien
tists believe that a layer of electri
fied and rarified air exists about
sixty miles above the earth's surfuce
and that this layer acts us a reflector I
of Hertzian waves. Owing to natural
causes the reflecting power of the
conducting sheet varies from time
tfi time in the same way a mirror re
flects well at one minute and then
becomes dim when n person breathes
upon it.
Question I have a detector and
two-stage audio frequency amplifier
set that gives fine results. What will
be gained if I add n rndio frequency
amplifier unit? II. II. Answer In
creased vohime of distant stations
and slightly more selectivity. Kadio
fretpiency amplification gives strength
to feeble signals from distant stn
tionp, thereby giving them sufficient
jiower to actuate the detector, other
wise they would be inaudible in many
cases. I
