A temporary site has been chosen near the railway line at Kowloon, two temporary maste have been erected and tests will commence within a fortnight. If the test prove mutlefactory, the new transmitter will take over the ZBW broadcasts almont Im-! mediately.

At the table where Four spades bought the contract, the jack of chubs was opened by West and East played the encouraging nine spot. It is quite true that if West had now shifted to the king of diamonds, the déclarer's contract would have been desented one trick, but West in this case could que no advantage in lending diamond as he may make two diamond tricks and is sure of R heart trick.

Compact Mounting,

The component parts of the transmitter are mounted in four

units, each consisting of an open steel framework of rigid con- struction. Special attention han heen paid to obtaining purity of reproduction, smoothness of work-i ing and reliability. The trans- mitter is of the coupled circuit type and is provided with ELIT independent drive system for maintaining a constant radlated wave length. It is designed to work on any wavelength between the limits of 300 and 500 metres It looked as though the better and is similar in design to the play was to continue with the ten standard broadcasting stations of clubs which the declarer trump-orected by the Marconi Company. ed with the ten of spades.

this connexion that not the slightest trace of "hum" can be detected in the carrier wave.

The Independent Drive Unit controls the wave-length of the transmitter and maintains it at a perfectly constant value. The circuit is one of the outstanding features of the Marconi system of transmission and enables great constancy and stability of wave- length and freedom from har monics to be obtained.

The main Oscillator (or Magni- fler) Unit energises the aerial circuit with the full power of the plant at a frequency controlled by the independent drive unit.

The Valve filament is lighted from the main flament machine and an adjustable resistance controls the voltage across the Alament. A d.c. voltmeter nected across the filament in- | dicates the correct voltage nd- justment.

The function of the Modulator unit is to magnify the acoustic currents received from the micro- phone amplifier and to impress these on the carrier wave by controlling the amplitude of the oscllutions generated by the main oscillator.
