It is sometimes difficult to deter- mine which tuning control to cali- brate. In general. a condenser or other control in the aerial circuit should not be. calibrated because any change in the aerial will spoil the calibration. Also, a tickler, a vari- ometer. or other such control in the plate circuit should not be calibrat- ed as these. dial settings depend upon the filament and plate volt- ages as well as on the wave length. In order to get the data for your calibrattion chart. you should tune in as many stations as possible at their maximum stgnal strength. For each station received. record (1‘ the call letters, (2‘ the setting of the dial which is to he calibrated. and (3‘,’ the wave length of the station. In putting down the wave lengths, be sure that you are getting them correct. Remember that these wave lengths have recently been changed. The list. of stations may be some- what as follows: Cl'mdcnscr Statinn Setting Wave Length It is usually thn secondary 00n- denspr or the grid variometer which is calibratod.

TROPICAL VALLEY A second expedition into the un- known region of British Columbia lying north of the Stikine River, included within which is the mys- terious "I‘ropical Valley of the Far North." will leave Vancouver, B.C., the latter part of this month. At its head will he George Platzzer, a pros- pector acquainted with the area. He will be backed by Americans of wealth. one of whom is expected to reach Vancouver shortly to accom- pany the first supplies and the ex- plorers by airplane, it 18 said.‘ Innm Dnnnnn The flrst expedition is already on the outskirts of the unexplored ter- ritory and is headed by Frank Perry, a Vancouver mining engineer. The Perry expedition is backed by Hon. Charles H. MacIntosh. former Gov- , Canadian Northwest Territory during the days of the rush to the Klondyke and Yukon. Associated with him is his son, Charles MacIntosh. who was his father’s assistant in the Yukon Ad- ministration. Col. Philip P. Long- eran, pioneer engineer of Seattle and other Americans are also mak- ing the trial expedition.

Let each division on the hor- izontal axis represent so many me- ters, and each division on the ver- tical axis represent so many de- grees on the dial you are calibrat- ing. Use any convenient scale for this work. Thus for each station on your list, there will be a definite point on the chart. For station, “’FAA, the point is 70 dial divisions up from the horizontal axis and 476 diyisions to the right 0f the vertical axns. Supposing now that you wish to hear a distant station that you have never heard before and that you know it is transmitting on a wave length of 510 meters. Draw a per- pendicular line 11p from the .510 mark on the horizontal axis. Where this line crosses the calibration curve, draw a line parallel to the horizontal axis until it crosses the vertical axis. The point at which this line crosses the vertical axis gives the proper dial setting for the reception of that. station._ __ When you have finished plotting the points for each station you will notice that they fall along a fairly straight lino. Connect those points with a smooth line and your cali- bration is complete. If you are receiving a station and wish to know the wave length, you can find it by just reversing the pro- cess explained above. Of course, if it wasn’t for the old fogies. we’d go faster, but. it. is still doubtful where we’d go. Whatever the ex-kaiser may think, at any rate, he ain’t goin’ to reign no more.
