"C3rent nil the Borneo of radio

uncertainty ployed too great a part 1
In whnt followed tho col Union of
tho Bhip and tho iccborff. The Tl
tnntic carried an adequate trann
mlttlnt? set, with a day rang of
moro than 400 miles and nipht
range which carried her cry of dis
dreaa far over tho uea. and vet
who might easily havo boon missed ;
altogether by tho Carpathlu, the
one ship nenr enough to givo
quick assistance. It was also ru
mored at - the tlmo that ono
frolghter, unequipped with radio,
was oven cloaor and might have
taken off passengers who could
not find a plnco In the lifeboats
and whoso lives ended shortly In
tho cold wator. Tho fact was tLat
tho Carpnthia's one operator, H. T. j
Cottam, was doing- to bed before j
tho Titnntic smashed her no&o on j
tho icebrror. and it was only by I
chance, or If you please, the Inter
vention of providence, that 1 he
stayed up a little longor to got off
some messages, and heard the Ti

Cottam already had his coat off.
Hud taken off tho phono and

'Huttery eliminators generally
consist of three elements: A truiu
furmer to convert the 110 volt n. c.
supply to the required voltnKcs; a
rectifier which converts tho n. c.
into iiulsntiiiK I. r.: and filter
circuit which smooths out the Ir
regularities of the rectified volt
age Into a uniform il. e.," wrtttes
Kolnnd F. Beers In Radio Broad
cast inaKftxine for "December.
"So much has been published In
the last Blx months with reanu-d to
B battery substitutes that th ave
raifo broadcast listener la In doubt
as to what type will Rive, him tho
most satisfaction. It Is natural
that certain prevailing types of
eliminators will be suited for par
ticular types of receivers, while
they are entirely suitable for use
on others' declares Air. Beers. "In
order to make an Intelligent choice
between these various designs, the
broadcast listener has had to try
out ono after another until he has
obtained satisfaction. Kven after
a comparatively thorough test, he
may find that the short life of the
rectifier elements will causo an
expense equal to that of maintain

" ; Use Choke-Coupled Amplifcation
Much has been written during i Impedenco couplhur. Mr. Hrown-
the past few months of tho ad
vantages . and -disadvantages of
resistance-coupled audio frequency
amplification, and Kenornlly it htui
been agreed that the quality ob
tained from such an amplifier 1
an Improvement over that emanat
ing fnm most iranformer-coupled

Tho latter point, that of 1 bat
tery Voltaire, is the inuin dlad
vantage of .rentttance coupled am
plification, for it Is often necessary
to increano mis noiiuini io

thut two ataces of transformer
coupled amplification will un
doubtedly Eive sufficient volume.
If transformers of approximately
4:1 ratio are employed, but In
these days, when most fans are
veritable sticklers for -quality and
that old war cry of 0X at all costs
(including quality) has been
dropped, something better Is
wanted. This is to be found In
foro optimum results, aw regards
volume, avo ontameti. un mi
pedence coupling we seem to over
come tho necessity for this expen
sive increase. "With an impendence
amplifier tho use of hish-Mu tubes
Is advocated to pot the most out of
it. Mr. Hrownlntf suKpests tho use
of rnven tor tho equivalent) hih
Mu 20l tubes in the first two sUikcs
of the amplifier while a Dawn Mu

New Radio Principle Used in Flood
: ,
NEW YORK A, hitherto little
discussed but vastly important as
pect of proposed wave-lenmh
changes waa revealed at the na
tional radio conference in Wash
ington and Is now engaging the at
tention of tho ratllo industry. It
was to this effect: That oppor
tunist manufacturer! were active
propagandists for alterations in
the broadcasting wave bands to
permit broadcast stutlon to use as
low as 150 meters and that the
wholo process of stabilization in
the radio industry would have been
most seriously damaged if the idea
had gained endorsement.
Joseph D. H. Freed, president of
the Froed-Eisemann Radio cor
poration, as a member of commit
teo No. 1, dealing with the alloca
tion of frequency or wave-lemrlh
bands, called attention to the
manifold dangers of the proposal,
and emphnsized tho extent of tho
economic disturbance and tho mis
leading of the public that would
ensue if wave baml were suddenly
extended so as to Include '150
meters.
"Just think, first of all, what It
vould mean in the. virtual scrap
ping of 5.000,000 sets," Mr. Freed
exclaimed. "Thousands upon
thousands of families have pur
chased receivers wl;h!n tho last
year, and 1 need not dwell on tho
injustice to them that would be
brought about by a quick change
In broadcast wavo lengths. It is
easy to load receivers for higher
wave-lengths but very difficult to
provide for the reception of low
wave-lengths, meaning that noarly
all tho sets would have to be dis
corded." Work Willi Army Signal Corp
WASHINGTON. U C. Tho
American radio relay league has
been designated by the chief sigual
officer of the United Htates army
as tho organization to officially
represent the American transmit
ting' radio amateur In tho forth
coming org;iizatlon of army-amateur
radio communication nets
throughout the country. This
move follows upon tho general
staff approval of tho plan which,
eventually is to provide an amateur
radio station for each unit of tho
national guard and organized re
serve from battullons up through
divisions.
