ADEM'S MAGNIFYING TELEPHONE.M. Ader showed, at the Electrical Exhibition in Paris, an

instrument that possesses the power to magnify transmittedsounds. If a song is hummed in frontof the microphones attached to the in-strument, the song will be reproduced asa full quartet.

This instrument is formed of fourtrumpets whose mouthpieces are attachedto a vibratory diaphragm (see illustration),but its interior arrangement has been keptsecret by the inventor, as it is the onlyknown instrument that is able to increasesounds transmitted through the air.

It is rightly named a microphone, as itdoes for the ear what the microscope doesfor the eye.

At present it is only able to reproducemusical sounds, but M. Ader hopes soonto magnify and reproduce articulatespeech of the human voice, so that a per-son whose hearing is defective can hearwithout placing the instrument to his ear.He may possibly do this, for all telephonescommenced by transmitting musicalsounds only.

If M. Ader succeeds, instead of thepresent style of telephone, there may betelephonic offices and rooms where onecan sit and talk comfortably to any dis-tance without moving from his chair.-La Minden Eleetrique.

"The Horn Speaker" Sept. issue and

like it.I am 62 years young and got into

collecting radios a year ago. So

far I have over 100 of them. Manyare rare finds. I have all three ofthe speakers and sets shown in Sept.issue.

Have some 1928-9 Atwater Kentsfor sale or trade. Plus many morethat I have two of a kind.

I would like tc hear from collect-ors in Wisconsin ---or nearby states.

Dear Sir:I was most interested to learn of

your publication "The Horn Speaker"via the pages of the journal of thePhonograph Society of Australia.

My interest was aroused due tothe fact that I am in the processof setting up a general type publicmuseum in Alice Springs. Although

the museum will feature AboriginalArtifacts - Gemstones - Mining -Blacksmiths shop - and old domesticitems - its basic displays will beRadio - Gramaphones - Dictaphones -Mechanical Music Machines - and Op-tical Projectors etc..

The predominant feature will bethe early radios (my babies). The .

idea behind this exhibit - to showthe progress of the Australian radio

as an entertainment and communication

medium. I have approximately 150units in this category - the oldestauthentically dated 1921 - not all

are of Australian manufacture.Australia celebrated its 50

years of broadcasting in 1973 - ad-

mittedly we were a little behindthe "states" in this field. I

have included a list of historicevents for your information.

In the hope that I will learn alittle of the establishment side ofearly American radio, I wouldappreciate you putting me on your

mailing list. I include my bankers

cheque for same.Yours faithfully,L. T. DavenportF.O. box 1:62

I had justsold and delivered a 1938 Zenith"Cha ^ i side" radio te a local areaTV repairman who wanted 4t forsentiments' reasons, when he askedme if I wanted an "old cathedralradio" he had tucked away in hi.sstore room, being a lover andcollector of cathedral sets, Inaturally said "yes" but expectedto get a tyolcal mid -30s dome -topset. To my surprise, it turnedout to be an Rchoohone 6 -tube TRFof 1929-30 vintage-- complete with3-OIA, 1-227, 1-71A and 280 typetubes. Other than tyolcal speakerFrilly cabinet damage, it was ingood shape, and besides, it was

free) I excitedly took it homeand dug into it, and although allpaper labels had long fallen off,I found a chassis decal which read"Made by Gilfillin 'giros--üphonic"(model?).

The set is rather unusual in thatthe fiberboard chassis containingthe 3 -gang variable condenser, 2 RF1'sand 2 A.YTs is mounted or. the backpanel of the cabinet, along with thepower transformer and filters pluson -off toggle switch. The two veri-able resistances and early -stylemagnetic speaker mount on the frontportion of the cabinet. Th a Echo -phone appears similar to the S-3.

FOR A LONG TIME, it has beenknown that several metals, such asaluminum, tantalum, niobium, mag-

nesium, girconium and titanium can becDated with an oxide film by electro-chemical means. This can be accom-plished by introducing the metal into asuitable electrolyte, for example, alum-inum in an aqueous solution of boricacid and sodium borate, and passing acurrent through it, the metal formingthe positive pole or anode. Upon elec-trolysis of the solution, oxygen isevolved at the positive pole whichoxidizes the metal.

EFFECT OF OXIDE FILMThe thin film of oxide (A1,03) formed

on an aluminum surface offers a veryhigh resistance to further passage of

model but has the two controls plustuning thnnbwheel . When plugged in,the tubes Light but no audio, andthat's as far es I've gotten since Ican't locate a schematic or technicalinfo for it. If any of your readersknow something about -this set (actualdate pf manufacture, circuit diagram,etc. )1 I would appreciate hearing fromthem, 1

Clean articles in potash, rinse, dip incyanide, rinse and immerse in dip, havingthe dip stirred up well. When black,remove, rinse, and dry. When the dip isnot in use, keep it well covered. When itbecomes weak, add more carbonate ofcopper and ammonia.

Popular Science Monthly

THE ABC OFELECTROLYTIC CONDENSERSAlthough the electrolytic condenser is one of themost common comppnents used in radio receiversand allied apparatus, little data concerning its con-struction and theory, of operation are available inprint. The discussion which follows gives you the"how" and "why" of the electrolytic condenser.

PAUL McKNIGI-ITcurrent and if the applied voltage iskept constant, the current after a time,will be reduced to a minimum value,called the leakage current. A cell ofthis type with aluminum as the anodeand an electrolyte as a negative eleé-trode or cathode is used as a condenser,with the aluminum oxide film separatingthem, acting as a very thin dielectric.

The electrolytic condenser has a highcapacity per unit volume as comparedto other types of condensers. The thick-ness of the oxide film covering the alum-inum electrode is very thin (approxi-mately 102 cm.), and the dielectric con-stant K of the A1,O, produced is high(approximately 10) . Calculating thecapacity C per sq. cm. from the abovedata we have:

K 10C = -= = 8x10` cm.4 n d 12.6x10'

From this it can be seen that an alum-inum electrode, of 100 sq. cm. surface,will produce a capacity of approximate-ly 8inf.

The electrolytic condenser can only beused with a flow of current in one direc-tion. The aluminum electrode musttherefore always be connected to thepositive side of the applied voltage, andthe electrolyte, (through the medium ofthe outer aluminum shell) must alwaysbe negative. With current flowingthrough the condenser in this direction,the current intensity is small. If thedirection of current flow is reversed, alarge current will flow through the

The Horn Speaker; Box 53012; Dallas, Texas 75253 -- April 1979.- page 5condenser and the condenser as such becomesuseless.

From the above it can readily be seen that thesystem exhibits the characteristics of a rectifier,and, an electrolytic condenser does not thendiffer in any way from the well known elec-trolytic rectifier.

CAUSE OF POLARIZATIONThe difference in current transmissibility

through the system-aluminum anode-alum-inum oxide film-electrolyte-in the two direc-tions (thus exhibiting definite "polarity") maybe explained as follows:

It has already been mentioned that the oxidefilm is very thin, being of the order of 10-` cm.,so that if a potential difference of 100 V. isapplied between the aluminum and the electrolyte,the field strength in the dielectric will be about10' V. per cm. With such high field intensities, acold electron emission always takes place. Thatis, the negative electrode emits electrons.

If we consider two plane metal surfaces orelectrodes between which the field intensity Fis so high that the negative electrode emits elec-trons, it is then found that the electron currenti can be represented by an equation of the fol-lowing form:

B=AF'e--

F

Where A and B are constants of the materials.If it is assumed that plate A emits electrons

more readily than plate B, then this means thatwhen an alternating voltage is applied the cur-rent passes through with greater facility on onehalf -wave than on the other half, the greatercurrent flowing when the plate is more susceptibleto electronic emission constitutes the negativeelectrode.

To rectify a current, a thin layer of insulationis therefore necessary and must be bounded bytwo substances capable of emitting electrons towidely different degrees. If the substance whichemits electrons the more easily is made the nega-tive electrode, a higher current will flow thanwhen it is positive.

Metals emit electrons easily and semi -conduc-tors and electrolytes emit them with difficulty.The electrons in the electrolyte are in fact notfree but are bound to ions, although the powerfulelectric field obtained can detach the electronsfrom the ions and transfer them to the insulatinglayer.

It is thus seen why the electrolytic condensermust always be connected in such a manner thatthe electrolyte is the negative electrode, for

then only will a small leakage current flowthrough the condenser.

CAUSE OF "LEAKAGE CURRENT"It is also apparent that the leakage current

will be the lower, the smaller the number of ionspresent in the electrolyte, in other words theless conductive it is.

It, now, is quite evident why it is impossibleto use a second metallic electrode in place of theelectrolyte. In such a case the separating layer(aluminum oxide film) would be bounded by twosubstances which would emit electrons with al-most the same facility.

A leakage current is generated because theelectrolyte is also able to emit some electronswhen a powerful electric field is applied to it,such electrons migrating through the oxide filmto the aluminum. This leakage current is de-termined by the field strength. If in condensersmade of the same materials the leakage currentsare the same at equal potential differences, itmay be concluded that the oxide films are ofthe same thickness. The field intensity is thenequal to:

VF --d

F= field strengthV - applied voltaged = oxide thickness

If an aluminum electrode is oxidized in anelectrolyte and a specific potential difference Vis applied, the current through the electrolytewill steadily diminish. At a certain small terminalvalue i, of this current, the oxidation process isconsidered as having been completed. Now, ifa second aluminum electrode of the same dimen-sions is placed into the same electrolyte and apotential difference V2, which is double V isapplied until the leakage current has res,hedthe same final value i, it may then be assumedthat in the two condensers the same fieldstrength prevails at the oxide film. Since however,V,=2V,, d, must be 2d, and hence also thecapacity of the second condenser half as greatas that of the first.

Thus with the same area of aluminum anodesurface, we can make for example a 10 mf. con-denser rated at 500 V., a 20 mf. condenser ratedat 250 V., a 50 mf. condenser rated at 100 V.,and so on. Thus also, in an electrolytic condenser,the thickness of the dielectric or insulating layeris always automatically matched to the potentialdifference.
