Newspaper Page TextTHURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1922. Radiographs BUILD YOUR OWN RADIO SET BY R. L. DUNCAN Director, Radio Institute of America. Build your own. It's the best way to get on the in side of wireless. But instead of working from the ground up, the radio enthusiast who starts to erect a receiving set, must work from the air down. As the waves go flying through the ether, they have to be intercepted. The antenna—or aerial—-does the trick. It reaches out and plugs in on the wireless line. The best kind of antenna for re ceiving purposes is one employing a Antenna attached to garage or outbuilding. 1, Supporting poles; 2, Cable or wire; 3, Insulators; 4, an tenna; 5, Lear-in. single wire 100 to 125 feet in length strung as high <as possible. For dur ability and conductivity seven stranded phosphor bronze wire No. 18 is recommended, although hard drawn single copper wire, either bare or insulated, may be employed. Aluminum wire may be used, but the other wires are better. Tw Antenna attached’ to tree. 1, Weight; 2, Pulley. Do not use galvanized iron or steel on account of the resistance offered by these metals. Put It Up High Your antenna cannot be too high. The higher you get it the better. A good height is 100 feet. Run the wire between any two ob jects—between the top of your house and an outbuilding, or from the house to a tree. The lead-in should be part of the antenna. The antenna itself should be well insulated by porcelain, electrose or hard rubber insulators. If you run your aerial, between two buildings, erect poles on each roof. Run a short piece of durable cable or strong wire from the poles to the insulators which are attached to the antenna. These insulators should be from four to six inches iij 1111 I M ■ H WWabW O-c ill 11 j llill Darincj[i!

Make a few turns of your antenna around the insulator near the house, and then run the wire into the house as your “lead in.” Be sure that all parts of the antenna are kept clear of all objects. Insulate Lead-In Be sure that the lead-in is proper ly insulated as it is brought into the house. 'The first object the antenna should be connected with is the re ceiving set. If you run your aerial between the house and a tree, attach a bal anced weight to a pulley between the tree and insulator (see diagram 2.) This is prevent the snapping of the antenna during severe wind storms. The weight should be sus pended so that it will take up a maxi mum of 15 feet. With such a construction the an tenna may be connected to any ob ject liable to flexibility. RADIO PRIMER A rS A hi - ■— Series Connection- —This term means a connection where two or more electrical units are connected in line w'ith each other. The current enters one terminal and directly into the next unit, pass ing through its windings and directly back to the line. The connections where the current enters are known as plus connections while the connections where the cur rent leaves are known as minus con nections. Illustration shows theory of series connection applied to several electric lights. Plus and minus connections are indicated. A sheet of aluminum back of the variometer dial will neutralize the effect of “body capacity” in tuning in radiophone signals. The alumi num strip should be grounded. Care should be taken that it does not touch the frame of the variometer. * ♦ « Wired wireless, or line radio is the idea of Major General George 0. Squier, chief signal officer of the army. It is the basis of what is termed the superphone, by which conversations by wire can be carried on secretly. * * * , Possibility of interplanetary radio communication is distant, says Pro fessor J. A. Fleming, of the Uni versity of Lofidon.
