The coils are wound with enamel covered wire on formers of special material and the wire used for internal wiring a covered with special compound for tropical use. The super-hetrodyne circuit has been adopted as fulfilling the re- quirements of effective H.F. ampli- fication and great sensitivity. Six valves are employed in the follow- ing order: Radio frequency am- plifier (screened grid) oscillator, first detector and first intermediate amplifier, second intermediate am- plifier stage, second detector atage and output stage. The gride of the rudio frequency and first detector valves are tuned by gang- ed condensers to form the first tun ing control. A small varlable trimming condenser in parallel with the condenser in the first grid circuit is the auxiliary control. The aerial coil and the anode coil are thus interchangeable. The oscillator is of the tuned anode type aud is coupled to the grid circuit of the first detector by means of a plug-in coll with three windinge. The second control is the condenser tuning the oscillator. All anode circuits are decoupled with H.F. chokes and by-pass condensers whils the screened grids are decoupled with resistances and by-pass con- densers. An H T voltage of sp. proximately 120 volta is required. The total anode current con- sumption using the standard com- bination of 2-volt valves is' 20.24 milliamperes.

WAR ON RADIO.
ASSOCIATION WANTS SOME CONTROL CREATED.
New York, April 23, The American Newspaper Publishers Association to-day adopted resolutions calling for artion designed to meet the com- petition of the radio as 1 news- disseminating and advertising

Mr. G. H. Nash, the executive vice-president of the International Telephone and Telegraph Company for Europe, explained that the new transmitter at Hendon differs from other machines because it is un- necessary to halt the process of transmission between pages.
Also, the apparatus merely trans- mits messages In black and white, such as line drawings. It does not attempt to reproduce half-tones.
One resolution suggested that radio programmes, "if published,

The first resolution also provided that, inasmuch as the newspapers pay for the creation of all press association reports, a committee be appointed to confer "with the press associations on the question of broadcasting news reports, with the object of confining the broadcast ing news reports to the press asso. ciations and the newspapers, and to bring about the proper regulation of auch news broadcasting by the press associations and the news- papers."

The men were seen by the stage manager to enter a car, the num- ber of which was at once telephoned to Scotland Yard, from which it was wirelessed to the police patrols. The message was picked up by Detective-Inspector Gooch and Sergeants Greeno and Smith in a police tender at Somers Town.
