This ww■paper exclusively present* to It* render* today the "Augment# r-' cir cuit. a remnrkahle Innovation, one that obtain, greater amplification than the regenerative act, yet combine* the selec tivity of Fessenden's heterodyne principle.

Belgian, tlerman and Spanish, broad cast In the recent .International .tests. There will he succeeding articles In Ihie newspaper, presenting adaptation# of this system to various types of sets, to gether with full constructional data.— The Kdltor. By A. J. FAItAON. (Copyright. 19Sl.) In spit* of the fact that develop ments In the science of radio have '.been so rapid that It has been dif ficult for the specialist to keep abreast of the art, there have been .very few. If any, really new circuits Tg systems of reception perfected, fhe progressive evolution of the art 'has apparently militated against In dependent endeavoring along lines other than refinement of established ^circuits and principles. * Th* tendency of the designer has 4>esn t* reduce losses snd otherwise Vender the existing methods of recep tion more efficient. The effectlvenss of thse efforts le everywhere ap parent In the modern receiver. It is 'only necessary to compare the radio •receiving eet of today with one of a J'ear ago—under present conditions of wave length congestion—to ap preciate fully what has been accom plished, and even more, to recognize the strides which must he mads In 4h# Immediate future If receivers are to retain the quality we now refer io as selectivity. ' In the new system of radio recep tion developed Francis R. Hoyt, call ikl by him "signal augmentation," custom has been laid aside snd the systems of the past ignored, and In this radical departure we find a System of radio reception which ap parently satisfies all of the conditions •1—th# moat severe requirements— Which can be Imposed by present day broadcasting, and with an ample mar gin to spare. Selectively and range have ben eomblned in a practical re ceiver to a degree never before at tained, and with it all unusual economy from an operating as well as a etructual point of 'view. Selectivity and Range. v Selectively and range are rather difficult terms to define, snd for the purpose of this description we wiill content ourselves with practical illustrations of th# circuit possibil ities in these directions. The data were compiled from actual tests con ducted with a completed receiver lo cated at Eighty-seventh street and Amsterdam avenue, New York City. This location can he considered es typical of the city condition, which we recognize as “rather severe" and perhaps a condition which only pre vails In two cities In the United States. A test of this character Is a critical one, as It calls upon a re ceiver for perfect performance, maxi mum selectivity snd amplification at every wave length and general ver aatlllty not found In existing receiv ers, provided the local* are to he ef fectively tuned out In favor of dis tant stations, varying in wave length by only a few meters from operating locals. This also must be accom plished without loss of quality. In this particular location all of the local stations are audible over a wide band of wave lengths, with WFBH, 27* (meters 15 blocks away); WHK, *50 meters; WOR, 455 meters, and WJZ, 455 meters, as the worst offenders. A crucial test for the best of existing receivers In this location la te require their going in between WHS and WOR, when both of these atatlons are “on the air" and play distant etations ranging In wave length from 370 meters to 400 meters, to the entire and complete exclusion of th# locals. This, however, while a crucial test. Is not considered suffi cient for the augmentation circuit— etnr# thi* 1* only a test at very nar row wave length band—It Is required to perform in the same manner at every frequency. A Regular Feat. ’With WFBH broadcasting. WDRIT ft) Worcester, Mass , on 203 and WN J[r. St Boston Mass., 273 meters sre Wadlly tuned In, to the total exclusion at the lecal. The same thing applies 1b WON at *70 meters In Chicago, WOT at **0 meters In Schenectady. ♦TAM at *90 meters In Cleveland. ^7T)AR at *95 meters in Philadelphia Mid WHAS at qon meters in Douls VJlle, while both WHN and WOR are tjroadcaatlng at SSO and 405 meters, pespectively. Kansas City at. 411 me tars, station WDAF, can also he tun *1 in to the exclusion of WOR. These performances are not freak performances, but are demonstrable lflghtly. Going now to the higher syave lengths, the Augmentation cir cuit Is found in its ability to bring In 3*7CAB In Pittsburgh snd W<"AP In Washington at 452 meters with WJZ on 455 meters going bull blast. Going still higher up the wave length range. WIP In Philadelphia, at 509 meters can he tuned In with WKAF going locally at 492 meters, and with WNYC the municipal station, broadcasting on 525 meters, KYW In Chicago on t*t yieters is easily brought In. The Fundamental Circuit. As to He ability to bring in distant Stations, or In other words as to Its Sensitivity, perhaps little more need be said than the sbove. Although in this connection it Is of more than passing Interest that. Mr. Hoyt, em ploying this circuit during the recent transatlantic tests, phonograph!'ally recorded a number of the F.urnpcan itatlons. The fsets In connection with these testa are (n he made public shortly. The phonographic record j-avf J^cq turpetf over to th# parties 1 How New Radio Principle of “Augmentation” Operates who Initiated and fostered the European experiment. A schematic drawing of the funda mental circuit employed In the aug mentation aystem appears on this page. Here we find an extremely In teresting circuit for analysis, and one which will cause the Investigator and experimenter some sudden reversals of hasty conclusions as to its method of operation. The Illustration has been stripped of all except the very fundamentals of the circuit, and a glance will show that the method employed la unique even though the circuit on first ex amination bears a striking resem blance to familiar radio diagrams. Almost every one who has seen the circuit without having sn accompany ing description has gone through the same series of fleeting Impressions. First, that It Is regenerative, and after satisfying themselves that It is not, they turn to the heterodyne, and with this dispelled, push pull ampllfl cation comes In for Its shars, only to go the route of the others. Neither Is dual detection, which seems a fair as sumption, correct. It will bo seen from the diagram that the Incoming signal Is transferred from the aperiodic primary (shown here for clearness! to the two second arles, one terminal of each of these aerondaries Is connected to the grid circuit of a vacuum tube, while the other terminals are connected togeth er and are common to the ftllment cir cuits of the tubes. The two second aries. or the two halves of the second ary, If It Is preferred to view It In that way, are simultaneously tuned by the single tuning condenser VC. In this way the two grid circuits of the tubes are each brought Into reso nance with the Incoming signal, and respond to the signal In opposite phase—-that Is, when the grid of one tube Is going positive the grid of the other Is swinging negatively. (This will be amplified later, since a grid condenser la employed In the grid cir cuit of one tube, this statement may be confusing) How the Tubes Function. Th# Incoming signal therefore Is causing the simultaneous fluctuation of th* grid* of two separate tubes. Again referring to the diagram, it wtll be seen that on# of these tubes Is functioning as an amplifier, while the other 1* simultaneously detecting th? earn* signal Impulse. The detector tube employs a grtd condenser and Is designated A on the diagram, while the amplifier called the augmentation or hoop' r tube la dealgnated R. The bead phones or audio frequen cv stage* are included In the plate circuit of th* detector tube A, end constitute an Independent, detection circuit. The augmentation tube R may be removed from Its socket, and the detector tube functions *s *n ordinary straight detector. Included In th# plat# circuit of th# sgumenta tlon or booster 1* a coll havelng vert able coupling with the secondary I,f>, which acta to properly phase the am plified radio frequency vacations In that elrcut and to Inductively add their effect to the radio frequency variations In the grid circuit of the detector tube, thereby reinforcing th* detector’s signal.

From * survey of this lllustra tlon it will be Instantly observed that tbn method of signal reinforcement employed In Ibis new circuit \f neither cascade amplification, regen ©ration nor heterodyning. In cascade smpliflcatlon the tuhei must precede each other In the clij cult.

Theory of Operation. No attempt 1a being made at this time to enter Into a highly technical discussion of the theory of the aug mentation circuit. We are rather en deavorlng to set forth generally and In a broad way the principles of operation. Additional details cover lng the amplification obtainable by this system, structural details and cir cuit ramifications will be taken up on this page next week. Still another chart which Is to h» found on this page will give a rather comprehensive view of the function ing of the circuit. Here two grid voltage plate current curves are shown, corresponding as shown on the Illustration to the grid voltage, plate current variations In the aug mentation and detector tubes. Jt will he noted from this Illustration and by reference to the illustrations of the current flow that the hlaalng of the two tubea Is different, causing the effective operation of each tube to take place at different points on the characteristic plate ctirren' curves. These technicalities will be gone Into more thoroughly Ister. In the Illustration of the grid plate voltage, we see that the Incoming signal voltage Is Impressed slmultane ouslv on tha detector and on the au gunientatlon tube. The correspond ing grid voltsge (tube) Is represented on the drawing. In the case of th» detector tube It Is shown decress lng by an amount almost equal to the amplitude of the signal voltage, this of course being due to the action of the grid condenser. Th« rlate current variations In the detector and augmentation tuhe« is shown cor responding to the grid voltage flue tuatlon in the respective tubes, and at "A,” by dotted lines, the reinforc ed signal as transferred by the augmentation tube la shown ready to add Its effect to the signal already existing In the detector tube. Next week other rirrult arrange ments of the augmentation system will he shown, and additional tech nical data on the operation na well as structural dctnlla for thoae who de sire to completely ennatruct their own rets will he given.

Told by LOWELL THOMAS. "Although we waited for hours on the shore of Lake Toslilmoya hoping that the fog would lift, we were dls _ appointed. Aa the day progressed we found It a blessing In dis guise Indeed, had It not been for the fog, we never would have got our most Inti mate glimpse of Japanese village 5_ r. life,” says Les y/steut bOUelt " Arnold. Smith "At 10 on the morning of May 20 we left our planes and gave up hope of flying south until the morrow. So started out to explore the streets of Yanketo, near where the American and Japanese destroyers rode at anchor in Hitokappu bay. What a pleasant contrast this village was to the miserable huddles of huts In the Aletftlan Islands! "We had heard that many Japa nese were discarding their pictures quo customs and costumes and adopt ing those of Europe and America. Rut up here on this Island we were seeing Japan Just as It was barely three-quarters of a century ago, when the famous American navigator. Commodore Mathew Galbraith Perry, landed at a little fishing village called Yokohama and astounded the semi barbarious Inhabitants by showing them telegraphic Instruments, a toy train and many other Inventions of the west that they had never seen before'. T'p to that time foreigners had not been allowed to enter Japan, but, thanks to the diplomacy of Com modore perry, the mikado let down the bars and Japan soon became any thing but a hermit kingdom. Fascinated by Village. "We were fascinated with the Til lage of Yanketo, with Its llnv houses that looked like egg shells- Here for the first time since leaving Sitka, Alaska, we saw.- trees To he sure, they were squatty, stunted ones, sort of flat on top, lik» you see on old Japanese prints and Japanese fans. H»r», too. for the first time since leaving Seattle we saw horses, shaggy halr»d little animals not much bigger than a Shetland pony. ■ Of course, we saw little of the home life of th« people-while making our 2,000-mile flight through the Jap anese empire. However, we were strolling down the street In Yatxketo when a Japanese gentleman with much smiling and bowing indicated that he wanted us to follow him. He led us across .a little garden and at the door of a house which proved to be the home of our new acquaintance we were me’ bv a petite maiden who got down on the porch and bumped her dainty head se\eral times before us. Puzzled sod a ll’tle. embarrassed, we took off nqr shoe* About sll w-e knew of the rust-uns of Japan w-as that hoots, shoes, galoshes and other footgear must always he left on the Out aide. Room Minus Furniture. ' Shuffling along in bur wooly flying sex. w-e entered a room as innocent of furniture as Erik s head was cf uaie before he started on this flight. w# had mad* a faux pau* In falling to whistle our 'ea aa our host did. As a matter of fact, Jack did turn away for a moment and try It. But Instead he laughed and blew ths wTong way. with the result that h# blew tea all over me. Worst of all, however, was our embarrassment In not being able to make our feet Inconspicuous by sitting on them after the fashion of our honorable host. "At last w# were reluctantly oblig ed to take our leave, and with much bowing on both sides we betook our selves to the wrestling matches that had been specially arranged for us by the crews of the two Japanese destroyers. These bouts were better than a circus. The contestants strip ped and wore nothing but a breech cloth. We were much Impressed by the superb physical condition of these men. Although a cold afternoon, and although we wore our heavy flying clothes, they were without protection and seemed to need none. Teams of Wrestlers. "There were two teams, each made up of five wrestlers. The Idea seemed to he to push each other out of a circle or throw him out. Only two men occupied the ring at a time. When one lost, then another wrestler from his side stepped In, and the match continued until all of the wres tlers on one side were defeated. Be fore each combat the two. men would sprinkle salt In front of each other and mutter a few magic words of gibberish. This was supposed to drive I off ths devils that the other man had i helping him. Then they would slap j their knees, grunt a bit, and hop at I each other like game cocks. "After the match was over the J»p j anese officers and wrestlers came on I board one of the American destroy ' ers. where coffee and cake were serv ed. That night Commander McClaran i regaled us with blood curdling tales ! of how the Chinese do away with prisoner* and criminals by burying i !hem up to their chins and then leav ling them. Bn when we turned Into lour bunks It was to dream of Jap | nnese wrestlers, smoking volcanoes. Chinese exerurions, and maidens In j dainty kimonos bumping their heads before us. Next Day Foggy.*' "Next day was foggy also and we were unable to hop off for M nato un itil 5 30 the following morning On j this trip we flew over more Islands. I smoking valranoes. and above a cloud , bank that cut u* off from the world | beneath for a distance of SO mile* j Perhaps the most Interesting feature of this flight was seeing the villagers rushing out of their hut* and running down to the shore to watch u*. Oc casionally we passed a village near the base of a mountain, and there the inhabitant would be right up on the tiptop of the peak where tlyv could see u* from the best point of vantage Every one along the route ••anted to know we were coming. "In spite of the fact that we had rapavedly sent wires requesting that no reception be arranged for u* at ! M'nato, a very elaborate one had, been prepared. There must have been JO.OOO or SO.eoO people on the! | teach, and there were huge 'welcome'| | signs, reception tents had been, erected, and a luncheon prepared.' Giant firecracker* and skyrockets were touched off as we taxied to ourf moorings. Even the governor of the. island was there all set to make aj | speech. "It was here that we were met fori •he first time by Lieut. Cliff Nutt. | | the advance ac<-nt f--r this second! I division of the f cht. CltfT knew Just we warted and *h* moment w*| irr.vel he put out from the «hwe; ! with thr»* sampan* load'd w-.th ease-1 i!.n». oils and water, and on each sam-, 1 pan he had an American ln'erpre'er 1 We wore trvire to rearh Toklo that day and decided not to go ashore d" spite the fact that It was sure to ap pear discourteous Bo we gate Cliff I th» thankless Job of presenting our Bosch Nobattery Ready for Trade New Unit Supplies Current to Radio Sets Without Batteries. The long expected entrance Int* the radio field of the American' Bosch Magneto corporation will be. come a fact In January, when that automotive accessory concern an nounces to the radio trade the Bosch, nobattery. This information was given out by H. B. Noyes, president of the Auto, Electric and Radio corporation, offb. cial Bosch representative In this city. The new unit is a device for sup plying current to radio sets without recourse to batteries. Although the new unit is eventual-' ly to lie supplied In four or five, types, the first type will be for sup; plying so called B current. It will secure its original electrical energy, from the house lighting circuit which. In the majority of cities and towns, Is of the alternating type. ^ It is the purpose of Boech also 'o introduce a complete nobattery line, but among the first to be announced,1' following the present effort, will be. a combination unit for the purpose of supplying both so-called A and B energy and thereby eliminating from radio one of the most outstanding causes of annoyance, trouble and mystifying reasons for loss of effi ciency and unsatisfactory reception. The Bosch nobattery which it !• expected will be available In January Is to be known as the ban type, an1^ will supply B current from 110—II5^ volt alternating lines, at 50-60 cycles; It uses less current than an ordi nary 25-watt bulb and delivers a steady, even flow of current, at a constant voltage, the detector plate. voltage being variable from 90 to 150 volts. The attachment can be made tv any set and Is simple, requiring Just the “plugging in" te an electric lamp socket. J The new device useee on tube* but a series of scientific transformers, rectifying elements, colls and con densers—units with which the Bosch organization !» thoroughly familiar, both from scientific as well as pro duction points of view These series of units change the alternating house lighting current te silent, volumin ous direct plate current.
