RADIO

 

Regenerative Action
Saves Power

 

By' CARLTON E. BUTLER.
Radio Engineer.

A radio signal changes the grid
potential of a vacuum tube d
thereby controls the amount of el c-
trons that flow from the filament to
the plate. The resultant amount of
energy in the output circuit is a
number of times greater than the.
signal that was impressed on the
grid.

The grrater the amount of energy
of the signal. the more volume will
be secured from the tube. Major
Armstrong 11. number of years ago
conceived the brilliant idea of taking
a part of the energy from the out-
put of the tube and returning it to
the grid of the tube. with a View of
increasing the volume that could be
obtained from the tube with a given
signal. ,

Let us consider a hypothetical
case. Suppose the signal strength
of the incoming wave should be one.
The strength of the signal after it
has passed through the lube may be
five. Now if one tenth of this ener-
gy is returned to the grid and added
to the incoming signal it will make
a total signal strength of one and a
half which is available.

A signal strength of one and a half
will'build up a. greater amount of
energy in the plate circuit again; of
say seven. A tenth of this amount.
if returned to the grid. will again
create a greater output in the plate
circuit than previously.

Theoretically this process might
be continued a the volume or the
signal increase indefinitely. In
actual practice- a certain maximum
point is reached beyond which no in-
crease will be noted.

This process is called regenera-
tion. and any receiver that returns
a part of the output energy of the
detector tube to the antenna or grid
circuit is called a. regenerative re-
ceiver. The Reinartz. Ultra Audion.
etc., employ a direct feedback by
means of a. connection from the
plate to the grid circuit.
ceivers use a tickier or plate vario-
meter and feed the energy back by
induction.

WOMEN’S TENNIS
TEAM READY

Olympic Outfit Will
Sail for Paris Match-
es from New York
Today

NEW YORK. May 31.—-.\bout all
the plans which the United States
women tennis players will make in
this country have been completed by
Mrs. George \V. “'ightman. the cap-
tain of the American Olympic team,
and the others who are aiding in
the handling of the matter. The sclcc
tion of Miss Lillian Scharman the
other day completed the team. Miss
Seharman Zindersteln Jessup with
the latter‘s husband. John B. Jes-
sup of \i'ilmington. I)el.. Will said
from this country on May 31 to join
the other American stars who are
already across or on their way. Miss
Helen Wills. Miss Eleanor Goss and
Miss EdltnSigourncy are now
abroad.

Miss \Vills is not going to compete
in any of the English tournaments
until the start of Wimbledon.. She
will be in the country, but plans to
confine her effo s to practice and
the business officoming thorough—
ly acclimated nd.settled in the
country which she is visiting for the
first time. She told Mrs. \Vightman
before sailing that she did not care
to play in doubles at the Olympic
Games. prefering to confine her
campaign there to the singles. How-
c1er the California star Will play
in one of the doubles matches in
the international tie with England.

The probable pairings for this
event will be as follows: Mrs. Wight-
‘man and Miss \Vills for the first
team and Miss Gas and Mrs. Jes-
sup for the seconds. Mrs. Wightman
has said that there will be nothing
done about arranging the order to
play in the singles until all the play-
ers base arri1 ed and played a bit
abroad and it is seen how things are
going. Miss Wills will doubtless play
first singles in the team match.
With the rut still an open question.
The match is five singles and two
doubles encounters.

\Vhile Mrs. Molla B. Mallory, who
sailed the same day that Miss Wills
sailed. is to represent her nathe
Norway at the Olympic games, she
is eligible to be called upon for play
in the team match against Eng-
land, just as she played in the 1k:-
tory of the Americans oxer the Eng-
lish last summer. She is expected to
be naméd on the team. There will be
three singles players. The first and
second engage in matches against
both the first and second or the ep-
posing team. while the third player
enagages in only one match.

The four players will represent
the country at the Olympic games
will be Miss “fills, Mrs. Jessup. Miss
Goes. and either Miss Bahamas or
Miss Sigourney. The latter was rank-
ed at No. 7 last sear. while Miss
Scharman is at Km. 4. But Miss
Sigourney has been abroad for some
time now visiting her sister and may
have become so thoroughly used to
conditions there when the meeting
comes around that her practice on
the team will be more valuable than
that of the young. Brooklyn star.

Speculation has been rife as to
the teaming of the players with the
men or the Olympic team in the
mixed, doublet at the Olympics.

(By NORMAN Ii. BRO\\‘1\').

The first basing job has been a
thorn in the side of the Clexeland
ball club excr since George Stoxail
departed.

The trading of George Burns for
Stuffy Mclnnis in 1921. for instance
not only hit the club on the field
but proved the most unpopular move
the club had made 1n years. The fail-
ure of Mclnnis to go at his usual
gait afield and at bat oil‘- added to
the wrath of the fans. Their dis-
pleasure finally i’orccd the club to
make a. two for one trade a while
back to secure Burns from the Red
Sex.

And between the jockeying of
Burns and Mclnnis at first and film--
all's indeed: the initial sack caused
grey hairs in the ball club offices
and an awful lot or razsing on the
part of the fans.

The list of those who got a crack
at the job since the spring of 1914
includes Jay Kirke. Nap Lajoie. Roy
Wood, Joe Jackson. Shields. Chic
Gandii. Louis Guisto. Harris, Ahab
Williams. Miller. Doc Johnston, "Tur
key" Brewer.

Wherefore. the‘lwcccss of Joe Har-
ris with the plunging Boston A. L
club these days is of much interest,
Joseph is a member in good standing .‘
of that list of players who. cast oifl
by one club or another. are now
drawing the limelight.
