J., is being received there consistently, and many other American broadcasting stations get through very frequently. The only trouble is that the listeners must stay up until after 2 a.m., due to the difference in time; but this very fact is the chief rea- son why such good results are being ob- tained. The radio waves traveling from America to Europe pass through darkness for the entire distance; and when they get there, they suffer little interference | from local stations. | On the other hand, no one in America has as yet heard any of the European broadcasting stations. Under their regu- lar schedules they operate from 7.30 to 10.30 p.m., which is from 2.30 to 5.30 tern American time, and is too in the day for good transmission. irthermore, American stations in alm all districts are in action on about the same wave lengths during these hours, and even if the European stations did et through, they would be drowned out. To eliminate both of these difficulties and to give American listeners an oppor- tunity to hear Europe, a plan is being worked out at present writing. Accord- ing to this plan, the London Station 2LO will obtain permission from the British government to operate from 12 to 12.30 a.., British time, three times during one of the early weeks of March. On the days selected, all American sta- tions will be urged to close down for the corresponding period, from 7 to Eastern American time; and the radio audience will strain its ears for the voice across the sea.

Watch the newspapers for the final announcement of this interesting test. : The Pallophotophone E RECENTLY described in this de. partment the Thomas charge transmitter, which is used in the Westinghouse Pittsburgh station, KDKA, to improve the quality of broadcastel music by eliminating the troubles due to the diaphragm in the ordinary trans mitter. Another, and entirely different type of transmitter, designed for the same purpose, has recently been installed in the General Electric Schenectad station, WGY, and is likewise produ cellent results. It known Pallophotophone and described as follows by Jack Binns, radio expert of the New York Tribune. “In the Pallophotophone pick-up very sensitive diaphragm is set vibrat by sound. The movement of the phragm is communicated to a_mirr three-sixty-fourths of an inch square. A strong light strikes the dancing mirror, which reflects the light beam at a s tive light cell. The variation in the beam of light caused by the vibration of the mirror varies the effect on the light cell and thus produces a corresponding var tion in the electric circuit. Amplific tion is then obtained in the ordinar way by means of vacuum tubes. fhe new pick-up eliminates the his which accompanies the use of the ordi- nary microphone; it is more sensitive and responds more readily and accurately to sound waves, capturing harmonies which would ordinarily be lost. A feature of the new pick-up is the weight of the mov- ing or vibrating part. The diaphr and mirror combined weigh one-tenth of a grain, or half as much as the head of a common pin.” What Do You Know About Radio? WELVE questions regarding radio are given below.
