Radio Horn to Be Doomed. Belief Loud Speaker of Future Will Be Compact and Won’t Distort, Says Tapp. Rr International Neal Sente. New York. July 12.—“The radio 'loud speaker" of the future will not have a horn, nor other 'sound box’ and will he so compact that It may be carried In the pocket concealed within the average receiving set it self or disguised ns some unobtrusive bit of hrls-a-brac on the living room table. The horn is not only ugly, but it is scientifically unsound,” says Knrry F. Tapp, consulting engineer for the Radio Research corporation. "Most of the distorted sounds ema nating from a radio set may he attrib uted to the ’loud squawker’ rather than to any fundamental shortcom ings of the set itself," says Tapp. "Experiments toward this end w hich we have made in our laborato ries prove beyond doubt that it will he possible before long to design a simple mica diaphragm, with soft, Iron center, which, supported between two synchronized colls, will impart a mellowness to radio music thus far considered impossible. "A device applying these general principles has been built on a larger scale, but has not yet been employed for the privately-ow-ned radio set. "The average horn actually con tributes nothing to the volume of sound originating in the diaphragm of the loud speaker. It merely con centrates and, incidentally, distorts, these sounds in the same way that a megaphone appears to magnify and twist into almost unrecognizable squawks the sound of the human voice. ("Physicists know," declares Tapp, "that you can't get out of any me chanical device any more energy than Is imparted to it. You merely change its form. That's what the horn does —changes the form of the sound until it bears little resemblance to the original.” KOUNTZE PLACE RESIDENTS MEET "The same spirit that built the Kountza Place district—that con structed its fine old homes, its churches and Its schools, can keep it free from the encroachment of de teriorating influences.” This was the keynote of the meet ing Friday evening of the Kountzc Place Improvement club, held at Ly ceum hall, Twenty-second and Locust streets.
