Radio Stronger
in Cold feather
Government Stations Experi
ment but Can’t Explain
Peculiar Phenomena.
Washington, Nov. 28.—Cold waves
Increase the power of radio signals
to more than twice their normal
etrength, according to studies just
y completed by the United States bu
reau of standards.
Observations were made on day
light signals from the long wave
trans-Atlantic stations at New Bruns
wick, N. J., and Tuckertown, N. Y.
The signal strength was found to
be uniform during most of the year,
as was to lie expected from the mod
erate distance of transmission, but
with the coming of the cold waves of
January, 1924, the signals rose to
more than twice their normal
strengths, experts said.
Kadio Compass Upset.
'f* “At the same time there w-ere de
viations of many degrees in the ap
parent directions of the sending sta
tions, as indicated by the radio com
pass, even in the forenoon, when
long wave compass bearings are gen
erally free from error," the bureau
o£ standards said.
The end of the series of cold waves
In January did not at once restore
transmission conditions to the uni
formity of autumn and early winter,
tut left a condition of instability,
which persisted through the com
paratively mild cold of February and
early March.
"During this time 'the signals fre
quently fluctuated, going to high
values for a few hours aijd then re
turning to normal, without any ob
vious connection with weather con
ditfons. . After March 19 these irreg
ularities entirely ceased, and trans
mission again became normal."
U No Explanation Found,
w, Observations on other long-wave
stations indicated that these large ca
l' attons do not occur at a distance
of 50 kilometers, that they are large
at 250 to 300 kilometers and are
again lesS at 400 to 700 kilometers.
According to bureau experts, there
is at present no definite explana
tion of this phenomenon. The cause
Is said to he evidently atmospheric,
and tile connection with the cold
* waves suggests that either the part
i f the atmosphere concerned with
the signal variations lies much below
tin* heaviside layer—80 or 100 kilo
meters—or that weather phenomena
are correlated with atmospheric
action at much greater heights than
lias lieen hitherto supposed.
Former Goring Resident
Killed ill Auto Accident
Bridgeport, Nov. 28.—Harry K.
Stilts, a former resident of Gering,
was one of the victims of a fatal rail
ro.-yt rrnssing accident at Los Mollnos.
Gal., last week, three men being killed
by a train that hit their automobile.
Stilts was a pioneer settler of the
Mitchell valley, and moved to Cali
fornia some time ago. He was still a
member of the Masonic lodge at Ger
irg and held membership in many
organizations there. He ran the old
Commercial hotel at Gering and was
the last survivor of the Stilts family.

Method of Laying Out Radio Instrument Panels Is Shown; This
Important Subject Is Given Too Little Attention by Amateurs
To a great many the subject of lay
ing out instrument panels seems too
simple ami elementary to warrant
much space being given to the mat
ter. But it Is a fact that the general
instructions for building apparatus
have not covered this phase com
pletely enough for those who are com
paratively unfamiliar with instru
ment work.
Very frequently eyperimenters take
panels to radio stores to have them
laid out and drilled, quite unaware
that they could save 75 per cent of
the cost of such work by marking
the positions of the holes themselves.
When lold this, set builders often
take their"panels back and soon re
turn with the location of holes indl
crated by soft pencil marks, one-eighth
inrh In diameter. Quite obviously,
holes may be drilled in these places
and still he a long way from the
positions they should occupy.
Cases are also common where ama
teurs bring in instruments for repair
which show the lack of proper In
structions in the laying out of the
panels. The distance between switch
points vary, binding posts are not in
line, and the location of the various
adjusting knobs seems to bear no
relation to each other. Visits to sev
eral amateur stations are quite in
teresting from this point of view, for
it is found that the man with the
most money seldom has the best ap
pearing equipment.
Many stations are composed of sim
ple and comparatively inexpensive ap
paratus, but constructed and ar
ranged so neatly that they eclipse in
appearance and working qualities the
equipment ot stations whose owners
are not limit eiT in a financial way.
And the majority nf the owners of
the neat and efficient outfits agree
that the rhtef reason for this super!
ority of their equipment is the care
fuj laying out of the instrument
panels.
Some Causes of Errors.
The poor appearanre of some In
struments Is often the result of in
sufficient time spent in laying out
the panel. This, of course, is bad
economy. The use of a pencil or
blunt marking tool accounts for a
large number of misplaced holes, snd
the dependence upon a mark rather
than a center punch hole for starting
the drill ranks next as a cause for
these errors. With many, the fault
lies In the fart that they are not
careful, or accurate, In transferring
dimensions from scale drawing to
their'work, while others can trace
their trouble to the use of panels
the adjacent edges of which are not
exactly at right angle. The latter
occurrence is quite common where
panels are purchased from dealers
who cut their material / from large
pieces into any size desired by the
customer. Edges are seldom straight
nr at right angles, and the instru
ment builder finds it necessary tn
spend considerable time tn square
the edges so that he can make mea«
urements from them to locate his
holes.
The experimenter, huilding ap
paratus from construction articles
finds less difficulty than the man who
follows vague directions, for he usu
ally employs accurately cut panels
which have perfectly straight edges
and right angle corners. With this
stock to work upon, the Job resolves
itself Into a matter of the use of
tools.
Tools Required.
The builder should provide himself
with a pair of diyidets, acrlber.
square, eenter-punrh, ' hammer and
hand drill. The dividers should he
capable nf covering a radius of about
two inches, the points should he
sharp, and the joint firm. Errors are
frequently made hv an accidental
change tn setting of loose dividers.
The only requirement nf the jeriher
I* that it should have a sharp, hard
point.
A combination square of the type
shown In Figs. 1. 2 and 3 la rec
ommended, and the blade should he
at least six Inches long, with divisions
to 132 inch or finer. A hard, conical
point Is necessary for center punch.
Instruments are often resharpened to
a point which is not truly conical
and to use them, one runs the risk
of centering the hole a little distance
fiom the place where It should be
located.. When struck with the ham
mer, the center punch will move
slightly in the direction of that part
of the tapering point which Is most
nearly vertical. A four ounce, hall
pin hammer Is heavy enough for this
class of work, although almcwt any
kind will serve the purpose. The
band drill is of the familiar type
shown in figure 3, The chuck should
have a drill capacity up to one
quarter Inch. An ordinary brace is
used by most experimenters for larger
drills.
PlvideV* are used for transferring
measurements made upon the draw
ing to the scale, and for measure
ments wholly upon the surface ^of
the panel. They should not he em

or at light angles to an edge of the
panel.
While using the Instrument as
a square, rare should be taken to see
that the knurled nut which locks the
scale is turned d<#wn tightly. The
center punch is used only for mark
ing holes to be drilled. This tool is
held perpendicular to the surface of
the panel at a point determined by
two intersecting lines, and struck
squarely with the hammer. This

Results of ( arefuI Work.
K very minute of time devoted to
careful and accurate work in laying
out panels will be amply repaid in the
values of the completed Instrument,
rcxporimenters who give a sufficient
.'ifttouV of attention to the details of
this phase of apparatus construction
always have radio outfits of the high
est class. They take a feeling of
pride in the pleasing appearance of
the.r instruments, which are always
an object of envy of their fellow
amateurs, who regard the laying out
of panels as an unimportant detail.
This tends to increase their interest
in apparatus design and construction,
and they find the work easier and
more enjoyable with each instrument
built.
