A COMMENT "WAR FOR

New York, May 12. The "Evening Post" said recently that under cover there is going on in the communications business the greatest battle of all time. Radio and the wires are locked in a life 5.30-6.30 p.m. - Programme of and death struggle for supremacy. Chinese music.

of radio enthusiasts are asking for particulars of the windings of the special coils used in the "W.T.S." Four formers will be required, the two inside formers being 2 inches in diameter and about 2 inches long, and the outer former 21⁄4 inches inreport. diameter, and the same length. Paxolin, ebonite, or dry cardboard will be satisfactory.

The Aerial Coil Pierce two small holes at a dis- tance of about an inch from the top and after threading the end of the wire, wind on 75 turns of 36 D.S.C. wire in an anti-clockwise direction. The end of the winding is fixed in a similar way, and several inches should be left over at cach end for connecting purposes. The Inner former is then wound with 135 turns of 40 D.S.C. wire in an opposite direction to that of the outer former, the beginning and end of the winding being fixed on the coil in a similar manner to the outaide coil. Three holes should be drilled at one end of the formers for the reception of six B.A. bolta and nuts, go that the formers can

to the start of the inner winding, and this connection goes to one. side of the D.P.D.T. switch. The finish of the outer winding goes to the opposite side of the switch, and from thence to the earth connection. The finish of the inner winding goes to the mov- ing arm of the switch opposite the Jast connection, and the other arm of the switch goes to the vrid of the H.F. valve. The end of this winding is also con- nected to one side of the switch leaving the opposite side blank. With the switch in the left-hand position it will be seen that the windings are in paralel and in opposition, so this position gives an astatic coil suitable for the broadcast band. By moving the switch to the right the windings are placed in series and are suitable for the long waves.

The Independent Telephone men, however, were also anxious to learn what to expect in competition from the recently formed RCA Com- munications Inc., a subsidiary of the Radio Corporation of America, which has announced a merger plan- with the International Telephone and Telegraph Company if the law; permits.

Most observers say, the "Post" added, there can be only one end to the struggle, and that [s marriage of radio and the wired system." Such a union has already taken place in England and will soon occur in Italy and France, al- though in the United States the laws stand against such a union.

The present situation, the news- paper said was precipitated by the aggressive attempts of the radio Corporation, headed by General James Harboard, to shake itself free of its competitors and establisk its own land system the RCA Communications, Inc., a merger of Frank E.
