The mos: recent addition to the ex‘tcllent equipmvnt of this New l-Tririand station is a voice amplifier of (‘11— tlrcly new design which reproduces and magnifies the sound impul *3 Without distortion before they are "fed" to the station‘s’ transmit- lcr. .

(lb-urn got- ting \cry clarly and loud in al— most loose their identity and be dis- torted in the extreme. The receiving and amplifying circuits must Le ad- justed at once. so that the amplifier Will operate properly. This problem. but many times bigger and more important. is prcscnt at the trans- mitting station. Station \‘v’liZ is a rcmotediy con- trolled statio That is to say, the studio is at a distance from the broadcasting equipment. In this case. lite studio is located in the Kimball Hotel. in Springfield. while the transmitter is located on top of the \V’estinghouse plant in East Springfield. 3. distance of approxi- mately 4 miles. ‘\\'lien the artist sings or speaks into the sensitive microphone at the broadcasting studio. very little energy is released. and the electrical impul- ses into which the sound-waves are converted are too feeble to make' the journey to the plant four miles away and‘ actuate the very delicate and sensitive QNparatus of the trans- mitter. It is therefore. necessary to reinforce these impulses before they start on their poui‘ney. so that they will be strong enough. This is done through tlic,use of an ampli- fier. This amplifier is somewhat Similar to the one used in a receiving set. but it makes use of larger vac- uum tubes. and handles a larger amount of energy. Just as the i’ecciving amplifier. however, if there is too great an amount of curgent flowing through it at. a given time. there will be distortion. which €111 be at once transmitted out into the ether. and which will be received by a. normal rweivlng Set as a signal or very poor quality. The design of these station amplifiers is a great problem be- caus: oi the fact that they must be mad»; tu‘u. plify over a band of fre- quencies quai to those obtainable withflthe average orchestra, from the highest to the lowest note, and still' amplify normally every tone. At the sums time they must be able to handle the necessary amount of cur- rent to operate the transmitter. Westinghouse engineers have been studying the problem ,of amplifica- tion for a. long time. Finally. the push-pull system of amplification was evolved. Those of you' who uge Radiola Grand Receivers know what excellent quality of toneacan be ob- tain‘ed with the amplifier of that in- strument. It is a push-pull ampli- fier which makes use of two WD-11 vacuum tubes. There is no distor- tion, and yet the intensity is such that it is at times necessary to cut the volume down’. ‘ An amplifier, similar in design. but capable of handling many hundred times the energy which the receiv- ing amplifier does..has been installed ‘ at station. )VBZ. Because of its . , Pose; Ferris. soprano. construction. it requires duplicate equipment throughout. Two vacuum tubes are employed where one was needed previously. two sets of bat- teries, transformers with ”double windings are other modifications which have been necessary. This duplicate layout. though necessarily more. expensive in cost and opera- tion, has several very important ad- ?uniages. In the event of something going wrong with the vacuum tubes, batteries. or any part of the ampli- i'ylng system. the station is not for that reason. put out of commission. The system operates continuously upon the duplicate set. which acts as an emergency system until the entire unit can be repaired quickly. Most important of all. however. is the factihat because of this duplicate circuit arrangement, more current can be handled and therefore, no distortion will be vxpt‘l‘iC‘llCCd. Perfect reproduction lit the transmitting end can be had. In fact. .1 second amplifier. identic cal with the first. is installed at the linst Springfield plant, so that the electrical lmpuscs from the studio are stil more strengthened before going to the transmitting set. By properly regulating all of the cir- culls in the aniplii‘cr system, a cur. rent intcsity of almost any magni- tude can be obtained. Thin control is a valuable feature in case the broudqistiug of a. singer with a. very powerful \olce is attempted. It would he disadvantageous to the tone and quality of the singers‘ voice to have the latter sl'ng lower. However. the and can be ac~ complislied by regulating the cur- l'clll. intensity in the amplifier cir- cuit_ without theneccsslty of mov- ing the microphone away from the artist. This control is also neces- sary in the case of theatre broad- casts. in which the artists move about the stage. and where the voice appears ordinarily to get stronger and weaker as the speak- is? approaches or walks away from the microphones located near the footliglits and about the stage. The operator who listens in at the sta- tion can. by a. slight twist of a knob, maintain the current practi~ cally constant. so that the broad- casts will be uniform in strength.
