...specially constructed radio receiving apparatus will be installed within the next month at the University Astronomical Laboratory for the purpose of measuring the amount of influence that sunspots have on the intensity of radio reception, it was announced recently by Professor H.T. Stetson...
...apparatus is the result of a careful study of the signal strength of radio reception in connection with sun-spot observations. The study revealed that there was a definite correlation between the appearance of spots on the sun's surface and the conditions of radio reception. The new machine, by means of a device that is similar to a weather graph, can measure the amount of change that takes place in the signal strength of radios during the sun-spot cycle...
...than a gigantic solar cyclone, of the same nature as those which occur in the United States, but characterized by terrific electrical charges. These bodies are set in rotation during a storm, forming a veritable dynamo. The powerful magnetic field thus developed extends out into space and often disturbs radio, cable, and telegraph lines of the earth. Within recent years it has become possible to actually measure the field strength of these solar storms by means of a careful analysis of the spectrum of the sun spots...
...once found work with Thomas Alva Edison's Edison Co. Later he organized his own light and electric companies and, after 18 years, sold them to General Electric. Four years ago he invented vacuum bulbs used in telephotography (sending still pictures by electricity or radio); three years ago he improved the bulb so that it would transmit moving pictures. His present researches seek to make lamps that will give light without heat. Towards that goal he has made some progress. On his inventions the Government has granted 100 patents. His home is at East Orange...
...took Mr. Moore's neon tube and made it the heart of television devices on which he had been experimenting for half a dozen years. The rotating disc with its holes arranged in spirals is his, as is the method synchronizing the television sending and receiving sets. Transoceanic radio and radio telephony are possible because he invented the Alexanderson high frequency alternator. To buy that invention and thus to prevent the British Marconi Co. from acquiring it, the Radio Corporation of America was created. He is R. C. A.'s chief consulting engineer. One of the receiving sets...
