Show EXPERTS WILL STUDYSTATIC Radio fana may expect to hear of radical progress in the development of ihe sci ne Hi is summer That (a the lime when a lull will i omo in the use uf receiving and J broadcasting. The heal will keep tho amateurs and novices outside, while atmoaphorlt Interference will make it hard for transmission and reception Dut it Is just this lime for which radio engineers are walling. "STATIC" PROBLEM One of their greatest problems Is 'the elimination of static That will ; be at Its peak during tne warm days For this reason government and Other radio experts are preparing to jfruake all suits of experiments with radio apparatus in order to reduce as tlar aa possible this form of intorfer-e intorfer-e 1 1 1 i Tests have been made In tropl cal countries, but the engineers say the conclusions formed al these tests may not apply in the temperate tones In summer. Dr. Louis Cohen, consulting engineer engi-neer of the U. S. signal corps and chief of the army radio research, has been making a special study of radio disturbances. He has made several experiments at army utaUons in Texas, where he found much static Interference on which to base his studies. STUDIES CONTINUED During the warm daya in the' northern part of the country, Dr, Cohen will continue his studies nnd expects to perfect a plan by which atmospheric Interference can be eliminated He Is said already tn have Invented an instrument which will eliminate "sirays." or foreign I disturbances. Engineers for private radio ma mi i I fncturing and broadcasting dims' albo report activity in the stud of static elimination. They Hre onlv i awaiting the dog days, when static: will be so troublesome as to make It almodt impossible to receive slKnals. Then will be the ideal time lor' their experiments. oo |
