THE NEW ‘SUPER-PLIODYNE ’ RECEIVER *•a * * * Only Two Controls On Complicated, Highly Selective Nine-Tube Set

By ISRAEL KLEIN, Times Radio Editor. PNLIKE the super heterodyne in principle, yet equal to It in simplicity of control and in wide range, degree and selectivity of reception. A nine-tube receiver, using six stages of tuned radio frequency and two of udio-frequency, with only two controls! No howling, no re-radiation, yet fine selectivity. Successfully operated on a twelvefoot aerial! These are the characteristics of the new "Super-Pliodyne” receiver designed by C. L. FarranJ. New York, consulting radio engineer, who exhibited his set recently before the Radio Club of America at Columbia University. Farrand. in his receiver, has over come the difficulties met in construction of even two or three-stage tuned radio frequency circuits. The controls are so intricate and the balance so delicate that it is almost Impossible to tune them. On tlie Oial This intracy has been avoided in the super-pliodyne by the simple nieth od of creating a Rank of variable condensers, all tuned at the same time by a single dial working the condensers by means of worm gear arrangement. The condensers are electro-statically shielded from one another and are adjusted beforehand for greatest efficiency under the single cotnrol. The only other control on the set is the dial for the antenna inductance. Farrand’s design is such that from three to ten stages of radio-frequency may he used. Oscillation is avoided by use of a | new principle by which any number of radio-frequency stages may be employed. Between the grid and the. plate of each tube Farrand has con- i nected a non-inductive. low capacity | rosistance. which changes the phase I of the coupling current flowing be- , tween the grid and plate circuits, nullifies most of the feedback caused by ! the capacity of the circuit and the j tube, and absorbs what remains as it | is fed back. Resistances Says Farrand: “The value of resistance necessary to nullify the grid to plate coupling is dependent upon the design of the ] tube, as well as rhe circuits, and is! not critical. For storage battery tubes i now in commercial production a re- 1 sistanee ranging between 25.000 and 35,000 ohms gives satisfactory performance for multistage operation. One hundred thousand ohms Is a satisfactory value for the present dry cell eubes and may vary between 90.000 and 120.000 ohms.” Describing his hook-up further, Farrand goes on: “A condenser is inserted in serWs with the resistance between grid and plate to prevent the. plate Laxtexy from flowing through it to the filament. It is purely a blocking condenser and may range between 1 microfarad to .001 microfarad and Is only needed to permit the amplifier tubes to be operated on common plate battery. Transformers “The transformer winding® should preferably be tightly coupled. A suitable design consists of 100 turns of No. 26 B. & S. wire on a tube two Inches in diameter and 2** inches in length, comprising the secondary. The

March 21.—Investigators of the murder of beautiful Zoe Wilkins today obtained evidence which solved many unexplained incidents in the mysterious slaying. A woman, whose name is not revealed. who was with Dr. Wilkins until 9:30 p. m. Saturday, has been found. She said when she left Dr. Wilkins’ home, Dillard Davis, a negro janitor, was In the house. Dr. Wilkins appeared greatly agitated, the new witness said. "Davis told Dr. Wilkins to get me out of the house,” the woman said. "He called her into the kitchen and

primary should be wound with about twenty-five turns of the same wire ; on a concentric cylindrical tube of about 1\ Inches in diameter. “The primary is wound in opposite ' direction to the secondary. The end of the primary winding directly under the grid end of the secondary should be connected to the plate battery. The other terminals follow as usual. “The secondary tuning condenser should have a capacity of .00025 n fd." j Coupling these condensers together Involves such hard work to adjust j each correctly in relation to the oth ers that this is the most difficult part In hooking up the receiver. Three-Stage Radio Farrand gave a hook-up for three stages of radio, a detector and two stages of audio-frequency amplificatio nand *-howed how regenerative 1 amplification, equal In increased volume to two stages of audio, may be obtained.

Waves From Bodies May Do Talking Scientist Points to Possibilities of Human Radio System, By .V EA Service PARIS, March 21.—Man Is a wireless transmitter. The time may come when man also will be a wireless receiver, tuned in to receive the tiny radio waves that are emitted by other bodies and to communicate with others by means of these waves! This is the prediction of Georges Lakhovsky, eminent Parisian scientist, who has solved sotne of the most delicate problems of radio. He has enunciated the theory that all living creatures emit tiny radio waves and that many already communicate with one another, or are attracted to oth- j ers, by means of these emanations. Radio Km's “Physiology teaches us that our j sense of directiono, of balance, of equilibrium Is due to certain tiny canals In the ear,” says Lakhovsky. “It suggests to me that these may play tffS part of wireless receivers. Many Insects have antennae that are more than feelers. They are wireless receivers and senders In all probability.” Many birds and animals are guided by special radiations, not by Instinct or a peculiar sense, he says Owls and other night birds get their food j by help of the waves emitted by their pre;, he points out. Pome nail rallsts ssy bats are: guided hv their fine hearing and sense j of smell. But Kakhovsky says he watched them in Paris while the noise and odors of taxis filled the air. Yet : the bats caught insects in the air. guided, he believes, by radiations of their prey. Wave Talk "Professor Blondlot,” he goes on, "has maintained that man emits radiations that he calls 'X-rays.' This sug pests to me that man, too, some day may be able to communicate by means of his own waves, Just as I think in sects and other living things do now. “When that day comes doctors may I learn to distinguish between the waves emitted by a well man and those of a sick peion. And by using contra rays, the*physician may be able to cure the patient without medicine. “When we learn more about the waves man emits and how these waves are affected in intensity and length by various microbes, we will pass out of the domain of uncertain diagnosis. “We will be positive. We will have e table of wave lengths which will be exact. And we will know what to do !n each case. “The possibilities are limitless. But we have Just reached the edge of the subject.” Private Wireless By use of a "scrambler" and an “ur.acrambler" private messages may be flashed by radio with perfect se crecy. The transmitting machin automatically "scrambles" the message and the receiver straightens It out so It can be understood.

Radio Facing Monopoly or U. S. Control Suit Against Broadcasting Station Expected to Det cide Question. Bu XEA Service NEW YORK, March 21.~Monopoly or Government control? This question will be answered sooner than expected, through suit brought by the American Telegraph and Telephone Company against broadcasting station WHN, and through the action of the Federal Trade Commission In investigating the alleged radio trust. It Is the first big call for a'showdown in the radio broadcasting field. Out of this fight, eventually, one of three results may be expected. Either 1. Radio broadcasting will be confined to a select few broadcasting stations licensed by a central monopolistic agency; or 2. Programs will be broadcast generally by Government licensed stations, under direct control of the Government; or 3 The Government itself will take over the entire broadcasting field and run It as It does the postoffice. These are the probabilities in view, as deduced from interviews with men deeply interested in the court action now pending. Lax Rules Now Not one of these exists at present. Under the lax radio law we have today, broadcasting, amateur transmission and commercial wireless have such broad liberties that they are beginning to Interfere ivith one another to the dissatisfaction of millions of listeners. The Dill-White bill now before ! Congress promises to relieve this confusion by exercising a little more stringent government control than has prevailed. It would assure all qualifying broadcasters freedom from encroachment, by others, and would i see to it that the radio listener gets high-grade service. It is the closest approach to any of the three probabilities mentioned. But, according to independent i broadcasters, if the Government i doesn't step in soon, the chance of a | private monopoly is imminent. If the A. T. & T. wins its suit over WHN, | It would have good precedent to take i similar action against all but fortyeight of the 561 broadcasting stations in the United States Few Immune These forty-eight stations use transj mission sets made by the Western | Electric Company, of which the A. T. ] & T. is majority stock owner and most of whose radio patents it controls, and comply with certain re qulrements laid down by their contract with the Western Electric and the A. T. & T. for broadcasting. Thus the A. T. & T. would have a j virtual monopoly In the radio broad- | casting field, if the court upholds its contentions. Government broadcasting, the third probability, is the last resort Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, In whose hands the White Bill would put complete control of the radio field, thinks it inadvisable. He has expressed himself in favor of as much freedom In broadcasting as possible under Government license.
