•MRTERS AND KILOCYCLES.
gy R. 141. Sherrill
(Radio Engineer)
'The increasing; use of the tenni
41kiioaY cies" in place of the More p:o
tanrar •term, "wavelength," still eausds
°Pusidesable confusion on the part ,cd
the .average broadcast listener. Ra -
'o ;waves; are being more and more
measured in kilocycles, instead of in
sne'ters; because the former is more
logical.:from the .,standpoints of both
the taniineer anti the broadcast listepi-
These is a definite relation 'between
the two teFnns, as they are simply dif-
ferent , eaj-s of ;measuring the motion
of waives. :;Similarly, the motion of a
railroa4 ti;ain may be measured in
mile's;•or ,an miles per hour. Either
would be ;scorrect, although, for 'cer-
tain purpdses, one unit of measure-
ment May, be more suitable than the
other..;
One :reaison why the expression . of
• radio waves in kilocycles is -more de-
sirable than in meters, : is that the se-
par'ation Between! two ,radio waves is
proportion'al to the number of kilo-
c cles'; 'between then., but is no pro-
portional to the number of meters be-
ti'veen them.
y In order to 'make the relation be-
tween kilocycles • and • meters:', more;
clear,;'to 'othe listener, the diagram
shows a scale on which both are re-
p3<esented ^ The, number of kilocycles
corresponding tb each wavelength wr{T1
be found 'lirectly opposite that wave
;length, and vica versa, One glance
at ,this scale will snow .haw much
:more room' there is, for: stations be-
:tweeii' 20? and Soo rh'e'ters than .there
As .between 50o and boo meters, .a1-
al-
though the number '.of meters differ=
'once is the sante in each case..
It is suggested that the reader clip
out ilio scale shown and save it for
future ; reference. Where :a -more aG-
curate conversion isrequi`cied, i the
number ;of;kiloeycles' is always equal
to 300,000 divided by the wavelengths
in :meters. The number ,of meters is
always equal to 300,00o divided by the
number of ,kilocycles.'
Great Britain Standardizes . ,
Radio Parts
At ;the request of the Radio' Society,
of 'Great Britain, the British Engineer-
ing Standards Association, (which
corresponds; to the IT, S. Bureau of
Standards) "called a meeting, at which
representatives of manufacturers, the
British Broadcastng tot, the govern=
ment,,and others concerned, `were pre-
sent. This Conference unanimously
passed • A resolution that it was highly
desirable' to'�set up a standardizing
committee for: the °purpose ".of stand.
ardizing'all of the :parts used In • the
making of a , radio set, It was decid-
ell to consider' immediately the stand-
ardization, ori the following points
x. Physical' dimensions;
2, Maximum errors from rated
electrical values.
3. Suitability of the electrical and
mechanical qualities of materials used.

The new Soper -power station SXX.,
at Daventry, 'England, is regularly tis-
ing<:a power of a5 kilowatts. As this
station., operates •on • wavelength
about -260o :.eters,, its range is, much
greater than that .obtaiaiedion the us-
u•ai broadcasting wavelengths. Be-
cause of this range, the station is :a1x-
dible-on crystal..sets all over England;
It is estimated that over g2 , m{llign
people are within crystal ;set range
of this station.
