FRANKLIN BREAKS ALL JUNE RECORDS Firm's July and August Business Will Double Record for These Two Months in 1924. With Franklin's June output exceed ing by a considerable margin the best ^ ^e firm'* twenty-three year #nd ^ gufftcient dealer orderg {n hand a b g0 rb the plant's normal production capacity to Septem ber 1, the Franklin Automobile Cora 1 pany is in a singularly favorable posi tion from the standpoint of summer business. The mausual demand for Franklin is further indicated by the fact that a number of the leading dealers have taken more cars the first half of this year than were taken altogether by these dealerships in the twelve months of 1924. The popularity of the new Franklin body designs by de Causse, the inter national automobile stylist, is an out standing factor in Franklin's 1925 ; sales achievement. Factory officials I state that orders now on file are suf ficient to make the firm's business in July and August double the 1924 record for these two months. - * : )TbpiCS& I ! ! \ ' r_ J Ln\ A Short Wave Receiver BY R. M. SHERRILL (Radio Engineer) (Copyright 1926, by the Bonnet-Brown Corporation, Chicago.) New Station for WSB Station WSB, Atlanta (Ga.), is building a wen supre,.-78!i0$ 7890$ biulding a new super-powi d station on the top of the Atlantic Biltmore Hotel, The transmitter is a Western Electric installation of a new type. It repre gen t s the very latest in broadcast de velopment, and is expected to set new satndard for modulation and effi c iency. Capacity coupling of the set to the antenna system insures a "sharp" wave, and eliminates harmon a ICS. The station studio, which is to be as fine as the transmitter itself, is lo , . .. „ , ,, ', cated on the top floor of the hotel. Vt SB, which is something over three years old, was one of the pioneer broadcasting stations. Mr. Lambdin j cer at WSB, and who hn- won a na Kay, who has always been the announ n °uncer at WSB, and who has won a national reputation as such, is to be the director and announcer at the new station. ! dio amateurs like to receive cards ack knowledging the reception of their A Request From Scotland Like the Americans, the Scotch ra wiE-srwr* V HMHJÏ 00 ? 1 *5 V « 1 an xi. o r . signals. The thrifty Scotch amateurs . . , , , are worried, however, about the ex m . 1 , (n 0 T ,, , „ ,, pense of these Q-S-L Cards as they ~ are called. One of these operators 1 niakes a pathetic appeal to the Ameri can "hams" to remember that the pos tage on cards to his country costs one cent more. . i The above plea was made after the Scot had been forced to pay an addi tional postage fee on each of a dozen I cards, Navy Tries the Shorter Waves The short wave transmitter at NKF, Bellevue (D. C.), has met with such success that numerous short wave naval stations are now in operation between the wavelengths of 20 and 80 meters. About half of these stations are on shore and half afloat. The radio operators on various bat tleships have built themselves "unof ficial" short wave receivers for the purpose of hearing NKF. These re I ? eiver8 "" bata ,in ^_ tube ' and ." ii reported that NKF comes in stronger than ■ the powerful 17,000 meter naval station at Annapolis. NKF uses a power of about BKW, and has carried on two-way communi cation with Sydney, Autaralia. Tran*-At Untie Power Record An unusually low power was used by an English station (6S1) when he communicated with U. S. 1PL. The transmission started with high er power at 6 SI, but at the request of 1PL it was gradually cut down to an input power of only 2.2 watts. This is less than l-25th of the power used in the average incadescent light bulb in the home. Another striking thing about this feat, was that 6 SI was transmitting on a make-shift aerial consisting of a | single wire, varying from 7 to 28 feet [ above the ground. The transmission { took place on a wavelength of 96 meters. An English listener announced rec ently, that he had discovered : Han Made Static a new kind of static which roon'or! to have a Ao/ J I T-r |N. ! M 1 T, .• j . .. —, certain time and rythm to it. Some , , , , skeptics have pointed out however, (hat a neighboring station was trans mitting a Gaelic concert at the time, it j a supposed, from the foregoing | report, that a Gaelic concert must sound something like the familiar noise made by three or more American stations holding a "free-for-all" on the same wavelength. RADIO QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS [Mr. Sherrill will be glad to help 'you solve your radio problems. Write him in care of this paper.]. A. H, R. says: "I have made an elec trolytic rectifier according to your in structions, and when using the 125 [watts it will never charge at more .than 1-8 ampere. After about 2 hours [use it heats up to about 100 degrees [and then delivers less than 1-8 ampere. 11 would like to ask, what governs the amount of rectification in this type of charger? 1 » it the draw as measured by the size pf the lamps, or has the 'strength of the solution and size of 4l . . ... . . the plates anything to do with it?" . r Ans —The charging currents from ■, . , .. ... . . the electrolytic rectifier will bo, rough , .. . . . ly, the voltage divided by the total resistance in the circuit. The voltage used here is the applied voltage less the voltage of the battery being , charged. The principal resistances in the circuit are in the two 75 watt lamps (connected in parallel) and in electrolytic cell. The latter with a saturated Borax solution should be around 6 ohms. It is imperative that the charger be kept from overheating.
