IRWIN 3 Suppose that a direct current generator capable of supplying 115 volts at the outgoing wires of a power house is furnishing current to a distant building for lighting" lamps which require 110 volts. Suppose that the line resistance is 0.1 ohm. and that the lamps re- Quire 50 amperes of current. There is then . line drop of 5 volts, and the available voltage at the gen- erator is just right to operate the lamps at their rated voltage, Sup- pose, however, that other appa- ratus near the lamps, say, the mo- tor of an elevator, is put in opera- tion and that this require. 100 am- peres of current. The line drop Is then increased by 10 volts, or 15 volts in all, and the voltage available at the distant enc of the line has fallen to 100 volts. This Is not sufficient to maintain the lamps at full brightness and they will be dimmed perceptibly every time tho elevator is operated. To correct this difficulty a new line VOLTAGE DROP IN THE LINE. of lower resistance must replace the old one; that is, the line drop must be decreased sc that for the maximum current demand the lamps wil not fall below 110 volts, Another example of the line drop is seen in the dimming of the lights of a trolley car when the car is starting. The resistance of the trolley wire is kept low by using a large cross section of cop- per, and the track resistance is' kept as low as possiblc by careful bonding at the rail joints. How- ever, a few defective joints raises the track resistawce and Increases tue line drop t+ such an extent that the necessary lam, voltage cannot ¢ maintained when the car starts. ' This track bondage can be ob- served on any railroad and the above answers the question the writer has often heard as to the <whyfor that rails are jointed with copper connections.

The use of audio amplification is familiar to operators and is known to be limited. A signal which is too weak to operate the detector tube can never be amplified by audio amplification, regardless of the number of stages used. After the signal is strong enough to operate the detector audio amplification is effective up to two stages. Audio amplification beyond this is limited by distortion and inherent audio tube noises. By radio amplification the orig- ival weak incoming signal is tailsed to a value for effective operation of the detector tube. Re- gardiess of how weak the signal Is to start with, a proper radio amplification will briag it up to sufficient strength to make the de- tector function; after which audio. amplification may be appMed.
