Radio Secret of War Bared Jf Automatic Receiver Designed j to Help A. E. F. Copy Ger man Messages. By FLOYD MARSHAL!,. j The signal corps operator behind j the Amerlean lines let go an oath. "Ri'if a moment before he was "copy V Ing" the enemy messages. Then right '®3rr^Ria midst of a sentence came— silence. A hasty examination of the radio receiver showed everything in order. A rapid bit of tuning, and with It ihe truth was flashed. The Ger man* operators had changed the wave-length! Enter a new problem, how lo keep up with the radio sta lking behind the German lines. They sent for R. E. Thompson a few days later In Washington. For Pershing had so ordered. And what Thompson was aide to do forms one of i he most Interesting stories of the world war. Outwitting the enemy Is Ilie chapter heading. Necessity Is truly the mother of Inyen tion and In this rase the Inven was an Interesting device manu >*Jca?tiired by the Wireless Improve to-Jhent company, which Is now a sub hiflipry of the R. E. Thompson Radio oration. This device was an auto Rwiple or uncontrolled radio receiver JJtjfresjgnrd by the Wtco at the urgent JG'Njfchest of the American expedition wsj(ay forces to enable the operators of signal corps In France to keep S’- trail, of the radio stations operating Behind the German lines. was found to be extremely im : jSfijtolant to listen in on the German j ifig^Cations but the German engineers, j^-iAkmg advantage of the considerable which they knew was required tune the ordinary receiver to an -tgfJgjHtar or different wave length, pro fcsjqeded to rebuild their transmitters that they could he instantly ^'.switched to different wave lengths ,*»>arid by using combinations known to *m tlielr receiving operators would njmnge a number of times during a to anessage.

S( HI l)T, Jr., A reflex set that will tune out one station and not cause interference with another station operating on a wave length close to the first is some thing to be looked forward to. Selec tlvity often can be had with reflex, not by decreawing the volume but by increasing it. When the selectivity is improved ami the volume increased, however, true efficiency is obtained. Present day receiving sets employ ing any form of radio frequency (tuned R. F.) usually combine several quite a few changes made before the set will be in proper working order. On account of this latter reason we are presenting a novel method of wir ing .so that it "ill Ik* easier for the builder. It may have occurred to many build ers of radio sets after they have fin ished wiring with heavy 1ms bar to reverse a few transformer leads or try placing a certain lead at another point of vantage to see if it will in crease the signal strength. If it has occurred to them they undoubtedly Now comes the secondary circuit, and one must take great care here, for a mistake will end in complete failure. The end of the secondary nearest the tickler rotor is connected to the fixed plates of the variable condenser ami also to the grid post of the first tube socket. The other end of the secondary is brought to the rotary plates of the variable con denser and to one end of the audio transformer. The other end of the transformer goes to the “A" minus lead. 0 end of the crystal detector, while the other end of the crystal detector Is connected to one side of the primary of the first audio frequency trans former, the opposite side of the audio transformer being placed in connec tion with the other side of 1 he un tuned radio frequency transformer. (Reference should he made to the s< hematic diagram from time to time.) Going hack to the second audio transformer, connect a wire to the vacant post on the primary side to| In fact. It Is not h lmd plan to try this condenser both In slid out of the circuit. Try Reversing I .rail". The leads to the first audio fre quency transformer should tie re versed to find the heat operating polarity. This Is very Important, and when the correct wiring for the whole row of transformers is found the frail wires should lie replaced by slrong bus bar. If it be not top late, we might The schematic diagram may r.ot l>e as a simple as that for a one-tube set, hut it shows every connection clearly. The sensitizer coil, plus the rest of the radio frequency circuit, is similar to the wiring of an ordinary three- circuit tuner. \ aria hie condensers so that they can he controlled by one shaft, thereby bringing the number of controls down to one. Such a practice is a right for medium, results, but beyond that it is a failure. Ix>cal stations can nearly always be tuned at the same dial reading when more than one variable condenser is used. Therefore, if lo cal reception is the only object in view, all the variable capacities can be coupled to one shaft. Tuning in distant stations with all of Ihe condensers controlled by one dial is quite a task, since you cannot possibly get resonance unless each one of the radio frequency circuits Is tuned separately and carefully. Of course, it is another thing when each coll is designed for use with a special condenser and all condensers in turn connected up to the one shaft. Kveu in this manner utmost efficiency is not obtainable, because various ob jects surrounding the coils and con densers tend to prevent any stand ardization of such units. On the other hand, several prominent manufac turers of radio equipment have solved the problem to a certain extent and can successfully operate several variable condensers on one shaft, hut as wan stated before, the utmost of efficiency is not obtainable at the present time. Avoid Coupling Condensers. It is seen, then, that in designing the reflex set so that really good se lectivity wdll be had one must not couple the two variable condensers. In this case only one is used and therefore the set is actually one of single control. The receiver about to be described embodies a special form of reflex which is far more efficient than j*xt the straight reflex set. (irenter seder livlty is obtained, ease of control, and greater volume is had with three lubes. All of the apparatus can be mount ed on a 7x18 inch panel. Acer*wary Part*. A list of tha part* necessary for the construction of this super reflex eet follows: One three circuit low-loss tuner. One 23 plate .0005 mfd. variable condenser (low loss type). One Iron core radio frequency transformer (Untuned). 1 Three low radio audio transformers. One crystal or mineral detector lflx»d preferable). Three tube sockets. Six binding posts mounted on rack. One double circuit Jack. One single circuit Jack. Two variable grid leaks. One battery switch. Three 30 ohm rhenstate. One .001 mfd. fixer! condenser. One panel, 7x18 Inches. One baseboard, suitable for use with, 7x18 Inch panel. Necessary dials, bus bar and sup ports. One knob to he used on sensitizer shaft to match up with knobs of rheo stats. One cabinet. 7x18 Inches. The panel should he laid out be fore anything else Is done. A piece of white cardboard the r\ art size of the panel Is procured. With the aid of a ruler and compass the panel template Is laid nut to suit th» builder. A very good lay-out Is shown In the drawing elsewhere on this page The variable condenser Is mounted In the center of the panel with two of the rheostats on ths right hand side, while one rheostat and the sen sltlz.er control Sre placed on the left hand side. The Jacks and hattcr\ switch are clearly ahown mounted below the large dial In the center. As soon ss the psncl template | finished, fasten It to the front of 1 hr panel by meana of elampa to prevent them front marring the panel. Then Impress the markings upon the face of the panel with a center punch. The baseboard Is mounted nr fast ened to the panel first, following It by the condenser and rheostats, fare should he given to correct placing nt the three circuit tuner.

Novel Wiring Mrtlmil. flnee sll of the apnaiatos |s |o place the wiring should he started In this case there are hound to he spent a few hot. blue, smnkish min utes trying to bend or stretch the heavy connectors to their new posi tions. In order to save this excess energy and to be a Vile to reverse one or all leads that can be reversed, the set should he wired with No. 28 D. < (\ wire. Of course, tills is only tem porary and will be replaced, wire for wire, witli heavy bus bar. just as soon as the correct reversals are found. Step by Step Process. Following is a word diagram of the reflex set. the schematic diagram be ing shown at the bottom of tin* page. t’onnect first witVi the No. 28 wire, replacing later with bus bar. From the binding post marked ANT a wire is connected to the top end of the primary « oil. Now run a lead from t tie ]*ust marked to the other end of the primary. Before wiring the primary circuit of the audio transformer one will find It tnurh easier to finish up the plate circuit of the first tube. From the plate post on the first tube socket a wire Is run to one end of the sensiti zer coil, which is known as the tick ler coil of the three circuit tuner. Now run a lead from the other side of the sensitizer to one side of the radio frequency transformer. Continu ing the wiring, connect a lead to one side of the primary of the second audio transformer from the other side of the untuned radio frequency transformer. Ollier (minedIons.

Sets of the future will be designed along these line*. ____ FOREIGN INTEREST IN RADIO GROWS Another problem which Is begin ning to take on Importance with radio official* and which may some day he the basis of International com plications Is the Increase In Interest In broadcasting In f'anada, Mexico and i'll ha. The increased Interest. It la be lieved. may result in an Increase In the number of powerful broadcasting stations In these three chantries. This would either result In a lot of Inter ference or else cut down the number of wave lengths available to American stations. The entire wave length band (from 200 to 645 meters! heat adapted at present for broadcasting purposes Is occupied by American stations. In order to prevent Interference these stations are separated hy 7, *, 3 and 10 kilocycle**. Obviously If powerful stations (of 700 watts or over) sre erected In Canada or Mexico (hey must be placed tin rtie same wave length ns American 'tatldll*.

This "B" plus is also connected to the lower prongs of th^ two jacks. A fixed mica condenser of .001 mfd. is connected across ihe primary of this audio transformer/ It hardly seems necessary to go into word diagram for the rest of the audio frequency amplifier, since it is of conventional design, except for the two variable resistances which are shunted or connected directly across the secondaries of the audio t ra nsformers. All of the grid return leads are con nee ted together and In turn connect ed to the filament circuit and then to the “A" battery minus binding jM»st.

A by pass condenser may have to be shunted across the secondary of the first audio frequency transformer. stress that th* audio transformer should he of the lowest possible ratio. Recause of the use of a crystal de tector, the clarity of this particular set is as nearly perfect as any radio set tested by this department. in a pinch one rheostat ran be used to control all three tube*, thereby eliminating two dials from the panel. Of course it is always best to have a rheostat to control earh separate tube. As in the construction of all radio receiving sets, the results obtained de pend entirely on the quality of ap paratus used in it, ami tills cannot be advised any too strongly with this re flex rereiver. Vse good transformers, especially t lie untuned radio fre quency transformer, whirh is of the Iron core type ami should be of the wry best quality. 'i'lie .*et when adjusted properly will not be critical at all and will give Mirprislngly good volume and *»e lectivity. INTERFERENCE PUNISHABLE Malicious interference with radio reception of neighbors will be prose » uted vigorously, according to officials of the radio bureau of the Depart ment of Commerce. One such case has already devel oped. The inspector at New Orleans received a number of complaints of interference from Knoxville, Tenn. An investigation revealed that an amateur was using an unlicensed spark coil transmitter without a re ceiver, which, be admitted, we* being done for the sole purpose of creating interference with a listener across file street. Am the action vvmm In violation of the law. the c»se was reported to the district attorney and came up before Federal Judge Hicks. The amateur pleaded guilty and was sentenced to pnv a fine. Cnder the low the penalty for op erating an unlicensed transmitter is a fine not exceeding IfiOn, and the apparatus is forfeited to the govern ment. The penalty for operating a transmitter without an operator's 11 cense is $100 or Imprisonment for two months or both. The penalty for mali cious interference is a fine of $'*0rt • >r a sentence of one year or both. All 1 |* to Detrctor. A vacuum tube regenerative set using only one lube, will bring In signals from nearly the same distance as n set having an audiofrequency amplifier. The amplifier serves to In crease the strength of signal* brought In by the detector tube, for the pur pose of operating a loud speaker or making the signals louder In the phones RADIO BUSINESS BOOM IN CANADA All previous Canadian sales records for radio nets and accessories wer* | surpassed duiing this years Christ mas business. Assistant Trade Com missioner T. W. Donnelly report* to the Department of Commerce from Ottawa. The availability of the leading broadcasting station in the 1'nited States and the principal stations in Canada affords local enthusiasts great/pr scope for operation. The rapid ndv.mi'f'Uient of the science in the T’nited States is responsible in a very lar^e measure for the rapidly growing Interest In this country. Al though the broadcasting stations in this country are modern in every re spect and have interesting programs, the number Is limited. Consequently the operator, as is ♦ rue the world over, experiments and is not satisfied until he has connected with a distant station In the 1’niird States. Only on rare occasions is it possible to tune in on Toronto from Ottawa. This is due chiefly to at mospheric conditions. UNIVERSITY TAKEN TO RURAL SCHOOLS Manhattan, Kan .
