How is a Wireless
Message Received?
EVERY incandescent lamp has a filament. Mount a metal
plate on a wire in the lamp near the filament. A current
leaps the space between the filament and the plate when the
filament glows.
Edison first observed this phenomenon in 1883. Hence it was
called the "Edison effect."
Scientists long studied the "effect" but they could not explain
it satisfactorily. Now, after years of experimenting with Crookes
tubes, X-ray tubes and radium, it is known that the current that
leaps across is a stream of "electrons" exceedingly minute particles
negatively charged with electricity.
These electrons play an important part in wireless communica
tion. When a wire grid is interposed between the filament and the
plate and charged positively, the plate is aided in drawing electrons
across; but when the grid is charged negatively it drives back the elec
trons. A very small charge applied to the grid, as small as that re
ceived from a feeble wireless wave, is enough to vary the electron
stream.
So the grid in the tube enables a faint wireless impulse to control
the very much greater amount cf energy in the flow of electrons, and
so radio signals too weak to be perceived by other means become per
ceptible by the effects that they produce. Just as the movement of
a throttle controls a great locomotive in motion, so a wireless wave,
by means of the grid, affects the powerful electron stream.
All this followed from studying the mysterious "Edison effect"
a purely scientific discovery.
No one can foresee what results will follow from research in pure
science. Sooner or later the world must benefit practically from the
discovery of new facts.
For this reason the Research Laboratories of the General Electric
Company are concerned as much with investigations in pure science
as they are with the improvement of industrial processes and products.
They, too, have studied the " Edison effect " scientifically. The result
has been a ne fcrm of electron tube, known as the "pliotron", a type
of X-ray tube free from the vasaries of the old tube; and the "kene
tron", which is called by electrical engineers a "rectiScr" because it
has the property of chann an alternating into a direct current.
All these improvements followed because the Research Labora
tories try to discover the "how" of things. Pure science alway3
justifies itself.
