Question
Why did you speedy delete my page when it was already deleted? BookImaginationIsNeeded helps (discuss • contribs) 20:25, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * So you made this, which resulted in someone tagging it for speedy deletion as it was perceived to be spam. You only blanked the page, also removing the delete tag; the history of the page remains there. I have tagged it for deletion so the page and its history gets deleted. Can I Log In (discuss • contribs) 20:32, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh, ok, is there anyway for ME to delete it? BookImaginationIsNeeded helps (discuss • contribs) 20:33, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * No, you cannot delete the page yourself. Only enwikibooks administrators and Wikimedia Global Sysops (on wikis which have not opted-out; enwikibooks has not opt-out) can delete pages here on enwikibooks, which I have requested to do so as I am in neither of the groups. Can I Log In (discuss • contribs) 20:44, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

Oh, ok, please delete it. Thanks for letting me know though. I appreciate it. BookImaginationIsNeeded helps (discuss • contribs) 20:46, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

Question
Hello. You and I met yesterday on Wikibooks. I just wanna ask a couple of things... • How do I add a category to a book? • What are something tasks I could work on? • How do I make the Userboxes? I want to add one to my user page? User:BooksImaginationIsNeeded • How do I view users who are requesting for help so I could answer their questions / help them out?

If you don't one of those questions, it's fine, just let me know. Thanks for being a big help yesterday! I really appreciate it. BookImaginationIsNeeded helps (discuss • contribs) 17:50, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
 * BookImaginationIsNeeded
 * A category can be added by adding something like  at the bottom of a page.
 * As for task, start out at the Community Portal. I suggest reading Using Wikibooks and taking on some task at Maintenance
 * You may want to read Userboxes. However, I think it's best for you to contribute before you play around with userboxes not relating to the wikibooks project.
 * I dont' know hwere is the help request queue
 * There are some other things I suggest you read due to the nature of your recent edits.
 * User pages – Some of the contents of your user page may not be suitible
 * w:Wikipedia:Guidance for younger editors – It's from the English Wikipedia, but you should take some advice from the page
 * m:Help:Unified login – So you made a seperate account for the Spanish WIkipedia and Meta-Wiki. enwikibooks, eswiki, and meta are all WMF wikis. If you use your BookImaginationIsNeeded here, you can use it on eswiki or meta-wiki.
 * I took a quick look at some of the Administrators contributions, and some of them had to do with you. I have a slight feeling that you may be heading towards the disruptive direction. Can I Log In (discuss • contribs) 00:01, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Well, I tried to say I was really sorry because I was new to wikipedia and I told them that I understood but they was really mean, and they didn't forgive me, but I just want a second chance. You have been really nice to me and it made the think that that I belong here. BookImaginationIsNeeded helps (discuss • contribs) 13:11, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Editorial - A Talk with "Wireless Weekly"
A TALK WITH "WIRELESS WEEKLY." The proposal to form an association of radio clubs and associations for New South Wales is one that should be carried out in no half-hearted manner. The time was never more opportune than at present, and it behoves the club delegates, when they again meet, to thrash the matter out thoroughly, and get the association in working order as quickly as possible. It will be well for them to give weighty consideration to the most important question of officers. There are many excellent men in the amateur ranks who could serve on the association with benefit to all. It should be seen that they are not overlooked. Much has been heard of the capitation fee to be levied on the radio bodies, to provide funds for the proposed association. It is presumed that the delegates will finally clear up this point when they next meet. This is another matter which should be carefully gone into. At present it is hard to see why the association will need a lot of money to carry on. It will require no offices, no elaborate equipment, and no paid servants. Practically the only expense will be that incurred for stationery and postage. This might well be considered when the question of the fee is under discussion. When the central body gets to work it must not lose sight of the fact that there are experimenters spread over the wide country districts of the State as well as those in the city. The country people are not organised into clubs and associations as are the city experimenters, and they should be under the special care of the association. Above all things the association must not neglect any person interested in any way in the science. It must give the same earnest attention to the youngster with a crystal set as to the seasoned veteran who operates multi-valve apparatus. If this is not done there will be early trouble. This is how the whole thing seems to "Wireless Weekly," and from every indication if the hints here set out are given due consideration the scheme should work well to the ultimate benefit of every person who puts on a pair of 'phones, and the betterment of the science.

American Amateurs. Heard in Sydney?
AMERICAN AMATEURS. WERE THEY HEARD IN SYDNEY? What appears to be a remarkably fine feat of reception has come under the notice of "Wireless Weekly." Mr. C. A. Gorman, of Arncliffe, seems to have heard American amateurs at his Sydney station. He describes the circumstances as fol- lows: — "In your issue of August 11th appeared an article entitled "The Trans-Pacific Tests." In view of this the following will no doubt be of interest : On the 12th of December last I copied portions of a C.W. message on a wave length of about 250 metres, as follows: ‘Test being conducted by American Radio Amateurs (missed portion) Station of (missed), situated San Francisco.’ The signals were very weak, and hard to get, which accounts for the portions marked being missed. At the time I ctid not think it was possible that the message w-as of American origin, but I kept the. copy by me for reference, and also spoke to several members of the Wireless Institute at the meeting next night (December 13th). "I found out nothing more about the matter till ‘The Wireless World’ this year published an account of tests conducted between Americn and England between the dates of December 7th and 16th. "The first heard in Australir- about these tests was months after the signals were received by me, so it appears that they were of American origin. The most unfortunate part was that the name of the station was missed. "As many of the American experimenters use power of 100 watts and more, this distance is not such a great one to bridge, as we ir. Sydney have Mr. Maclurcan, who has been heard 2100 miles on nine watts. "In conclusion, I may state that these signals were received on a single valve, and with the same set I copied the Tahiti and the Mar- am a, both over 5000 miles; also Japanese coast stations and N.P.M. on GOO."

Do they mean us?
DO THEY MEAN US? Commenting on amateur wireless work, the "Scientific American" says : "Of course, there is such a thing as too much Government regulation. In certain countries the radio amateur is required to secure a license for a receiving set as well as a transmitter, and the laws are so severe that amateur radio has made little, if any, progress. But our American laws and Government regulation pertaining to radio have been fair in the extreme, and under them amateur radio has thrived to the wonderment of the entire world, and radiophone broadcasting has attained a vogue that is a revelation to everyone." It seems that the cap fits us here in Australia !

For Lightships
FOR LIGHTSHIPS. According to George R. Putnam, American Commissioner of Lighthouses, the radio telephone is shortly to make the life of the lighthouse keeper less lonesome and certainly more cheerful (says the "Scientific American"). The keepers of the Alaska lighthouses at the entrance to Behring Sea, for instance, remain at their posts for three years at a stretch, and some of them remain without mail for ten months at a stretch. With the co-operation of the Navy radio telephone equipment has recently been installed in several of the remote lighthouse in Alaska. Some of the lightships are also equipped as radio fog signal stations. The radio installations are certain to maintain communication between the lightships and the outside world, and make life that much more endurable.

Rough Rhyme of a Radio Rat
ROUGH RHYME OF A RADIO RAT. Have you seen the Radio Man ? The real experimental "fan," Who listens long and has no fears Of growing dielectric ears. When you see him mark him well, His hair is like an aerial, And this is true —you ask the boys His "ziff" acts as a counterpoise. His watch-spring (this is dinkum oil) He uses for a tuning coil, With terminals upon his braces. He earths himself with his boob laces. His nose it glows upon his phiz, His vacuum tube it really is; He’s surely very up to date. With teeth electons on the plate. Pick him out, now, if you can, This most peculiar Radio Man, And if you feel a trifle rash, Buy him a drink —he’s got no cash. —MAD MAC. Induction from high-voltage power lines may be minimised by running a small aerial near to and parallel to the lines, and inductively coupling it to the set. The current induced in the circuit will oppose those from the main aerial. If correctly done, the loss in signal strength is neg- gable.

Mr. Maclurcan's Puzzle
MR. MACLURCAN'S PUZZLE. WHO CAN SOLVE IT ? PRIZE OF ONE V 24 VALVE FOR BEST ANSWER. Mr. Charles Maclurcan has offered a prize of one V 24 valve for the best answer to the folio-wing conundrum given out during the course of last Sunday night’s concert : PUZZLE. A rope is passed over a pulley. It has a weight at one end and a monkey at the other. There is the same length of rope on either side and equilibrium is maintained. The rope weighs four ounces per foot. The age of the monkey and the age of the monkey’s mother together total four years. The weight of the monkey is as many pounds as the monkey’s mother is years old. The monkey’s mother was twice as old as the monkey was when the monkey’s mother was half as old as the monkey will be when the monkey is three times as old as the monkey’s mother was when the monkey’s mother was three times as old as the monkey. The weight of the rope and the weight at the end was half as much again as the difference in weight between the weight of the weight and the weight of the monkey. Now, what was the length of the rope ? Write your solution clearly in ink on one side of the paper only, and attach to "Wireless Weekly" competition coupon. "Wireless Weekly" holds the right to publish all or any of the answers, but will not publish names if specially requested. Judging will be by Mr. Maclurcan and Editor of "Wireless Weekly," and their decision shall be final on every point. Send your answer to "Puzzle," "Wireless Weekly," Box 378, G.P.O. The competition will close n September 20th.

Best Set - Whose is it?
BEST SET. WHOSE IS IT? n COMPETITION. "Wireless Weekly" is conducting a competition. We are looking for the best amateur crystal set, and the best amateur valve set. Of course, it would be impracticable for us to examine the actual sets, so the judging will be on a photograph and written description. There is no entrance fee.. All you have to do to enter a set is to get a good clear photograph of it, and send it, together* with a description and details, not exceeding 200 words, and the filled out coupon on this page to the Editor, "Wireless Weekly," Fox 378, G.P.0., Sydney. Envelopes should be endorsed "Competition." It makes no difference if you made the set yourself or not. Judging will be on design, neatness and originality, and in order that the judges may have full information to work on, competitors are asked to send good photographs, and clear manuscript, written on one side of the paper only.

The prizes will be an open order to the value of one guinea, on any establishment selling wireless aparatus, for the best crystal set and best valve set. The competition will close on September 22, when all entries must be in the hands of the editor. All photographs and entries sent in become the property of the "Wireless Weekly." Competitors must give their full names and addresses, but if it is expressly stated these will be held confidential. In all cases, and on each and every point, the decision of th€ Editor shall be final. AT SEA. Operation by Radio. An operation directed by wireless was the novel experience of a New York doctor recently. A plea for medical advice to handle a case of infection sent out by the captain of a steamer unable to make port because of a heavy storm, was picked up by the night radio operator at South Brooklyn. From the description of the infected finger given him, the doctor judged there was danger of the patient’s entire hand and arm becoming infected. He told the captain to take an ordinary paring knife, and, after proper sterilization, make an incision straight through the meat of the finger and put in a drain. Then to free the muscles from the bone and raise them. A message from the captain said that he had perfomed the operation according to instructions. It is assumed that the operation was successful, as no other reports of the case were made. COMPETITION COUPON. To the Editor. Sir herewith or I agree to be bound by your decision, and observe the rules of the competition. (Name) (Address) (If under 18 years of age) -Strike out paragraph not re- quired. \ i ate coupon must be sent competition.

Make Your Owen - Honeycombe Coils
MAKE YOUR OWN. HONEYCOMBS COILS. Here is a method whereby amateurs may wind inductances of the lioneycomb type now so popular. No dimensions have been given, the size of wire, number of turns and diameter of coil being left to the amateur, as well as the number of layers. The wire is wound on a wooden cylinder about 2 inch thick and 2 to 2| inches in diameter. On a circle concentric with the face of the cylinder and out \ inch from its edge, 12 holes are drilled. These holes are spaced equally around the circle. Figure 1 shows this cylinder with holes drilled. Twenty-four lengths of number 12 or 14 wire 2 inches long are bent into a "U" shape. Care must be taken to have the sides of the "U" straight and parallel. These "U" shaped pieces of wire are clamped by machine screws on to the disc, one being placed under the head of the screw and one being held in place by the nut which threads on to the screw on the opposite side of the disc. Figure 2 shows the form with the wires assembled. The wooden cylinder and the "U" shaped wires now present the appearance of a hub with a double row of spokes and the form is ready to receive the wire. Let the prongs on the face of the disc be designated by the numbers 1,2, 3, etc., as in figure 2 and the corresponding prongs in the rear of the disc be numbered 1', 2', 3', etc. The wire is started by being hooked over prong 1 and then is wound half a turn on the cylinder and passed outside of prong 13' and 13' only. The wire is passed around prongs 2 and 14', 3 and 15', 4 and 16', etc., in succession. Figure 3 shows the scheme of winding, the turns being numbered. It will be seen that when the wire is passed around all the prongs the wooden form will hav6 been covered to a uniform thickness of two layers. When the first revolution has been completed the procedure is the same as in the beginning. Any number of layers may be wound on. To determine the number of turns wound on the form, one has only to multiply the number of double layers by the turns per double layer, in this case, 24. The prongs are drawn out when the winding is completed and one has remaining a self-supporting inductance of the honeycomb type on a wooden disc. If it is desired to remove the-disc, a cardboard former should be put on to the disc before the winding of :he wire is started. On completion the coil should be given a' coat of good shellac. A mounting suitable for this coil was described in the first issue of the "Wireless Weekly."

Make Your Own - Phone Condenser
PHONE CONDENSER. The making of a ’phone condenser is a very simple matter, and doesn’t require any skill. The material required is a sheet of tinfoil, a sheet of waxed paper, a roll of insulation tape, and two screens. Cut out seven strips of tinfoil 2 inches long by 1* inches wide, leaving a lug of tinfoil on one end. as per diagram. Next cut out eight pieces of waxed paper 2\ inches long by 1§ inches wide. First place a piece of the waxed paper, then a piece of tinfoil, another piece of paper, and so on. Have each alternate piece of tinfoil with the lug running at opposite ends, as in the diagram. When finished, bind same tightly around with insulating tape, and connect the two ends of the condenser lugs across the ’phones. C.W. is continuous waves telegraphy. interrupted at audio-frequency by some device on the transmitter.

Working with England
WORKING WITH ENGLAND. The report of the Parliamentary Committee appointed to inquire into the agreement with Amalgamated Wireless (Australia) Ltd., for the direct communication by wireless with Great Britain, has just been printed. It is an interesting document, and contains many absorbing points for those with a knowledge of the science. The section giving notes of the proceedings before the committee shows that it soon became evident that the technical capability of any system of wireless communication over long distances was a subject that did not admit of an easy or quick decision, and it was decided to call evidence as would enable this important question to be satisfactorily considered. The Committee had before it the report of the Imperial Wireless Telegraphy Commission of 1920, which clearly defined a commercial wireless service as one that guaranteed rapid, reliable, and continuous, working for 24 hours every day, and which also very positively stated that such a service was not practical beyond a distance of 2,000 to 3,000 miles. THE WITNESSES. The witnesses heard were Mr. E. T. Fisk, Managing Director of the Amalgamated Wireless Ltd.; Mr. L. C. Stewart, of the Radio Communication Company; Lieut. Commander Creswell, of the Navy Department; Mr. A. S.- McDonald and Mr. H. F. Coffey, of the Commonwealth Radio Service; Mr. J. G. Balsillie, who was in charge of the radio service from 1912 to 191 G; and Mr. Malone, officer in charge of the Radio Dept, of the Post Office. Mr. Malone also advised the Committee on technical points. In evidence, it was stated that the longest wireless circuit at the time handling regular commercial traffic was between Honolulu and Cavite, in the Philippine Islands, a distance of about 4,600 miles. The evidence of the Post Office radio officers, supported by the logs of signals intercepted by them, denoted that this circuit was operating on a traffic efficiency basis far below that designated by the Imperial Commission as a commercial standard. The causes for such in- efficiency were investigated by the committee, and the evidence indicated the following conditions as seriously affecting the reception of signals: NO UNANIMITY. (1) Interference produced by atmospherics. (2) Insufficient transmitting power to overcome the distortion and diminution of signal strength caused by the interference of other unexplained phenomena occasioning a fading of the signals during" certain portions of the day. These causes and effects were inquired into, but, as there was no unanimity of opinion among the witnesses or the authorities quoted by them, the position was not advanced. Mr. Fisk stated that the Marconi Company has developed devices which would effectively prevent atmospherics interfering with received signals, and that the efficiency of any system depended on the provision of such contrivances. He was unable, however, to adequately reply to the opinions expressed by certain noted physicists and wireless technicians, that some really effective and anti-atmospheric eliminating invention was still urgently required to remove this most serious limitation to long-distance radio telegraphy. He quoted from letters forwarded by the Marconi Company, of London, wherein it was stated that devices such as the Franklin aerial and the Marconi earth screen were really reliably effective at stations operating in Europe. It is, however, to be noted that the stations to which he referred are not receiving signals on the long wave lengths suggested as necessary for successfully communicating from Australia, and those stations were not free from interference.

Our Radio Yarn - Fate's Choice
OU R RADIO YARN. FATE’S CHOICE. By Q-R.M. "No, Harry, I’m afraid it’s no good. You know what Mother and Bad are. They have even gone so far as to forbid me to see you." Pretty Peggy Delane dropped her glance to the ground, and a sparkl- ing teardrop hovered under the long lashes of each eye. Harry Ainlee, the well set up, keen-eyed young man, who was the girl’s companion, made an impatient gesture. "I suppose, Peg., that it’s because I have no money that I’m out of favor. I know the pay of a wire- less officer is not exactly a for- tune, but it’s enough for us to live comfortably on, so why the de- termined opposition ? "As a matter of fact, Harry," re- plied the girl, with sobs in her voice, "they are constantly worrying me to accept James Greenland. He is well off, you know, and a firm friend of Father’s." "But he is twice your age," cried Harry, "and his reputation is not too good in tho city." "I know, and I hate him, and shall never consent to marry him or anyone else while you live, Harry." With vows to be true to each other, the lovers left the unpleasant subject, for they had farewells to make. Harry’s ship sailed on the morrow for America. The following day Harry, a manly figure in his chief operator’s uni- form, paced the deck of the steamer Manton as she crept down the Har- bor. with the purser. "See we have a distinguished pas- senger this trip, James Greenland, the Stock Exchange man." Harry stopped in his tracks. "Not the Greenland ? " he asked. "The same," answered the purser, "but what’s the matter, do you know him ? " "No," said Harry, shortly, and re- sumed his walk. But he was to know Greenland, for when he was on watch in the wireless cabin that evening the pas- senger came to the door. "You are the Marconi man, eh ? Good. My name’s Greenland, and I want to tell you that there will be Stock Exchange reports coming by wireless for me each day while we’re in touch with Sydney, and I want you to send them to me promptly at Stateroom 7, and mind you don’t make any mistake in tak- ing down the figures." Without waiting for a reply, Greenland strode off, and Harry watched the heavy figure till it was out of sight. "Fancy poor little Peggy being married to that," muttered Harry in disgust. He saw nothing of Greenland for many days, though the Stock Ex- change reports came in regularly and were promptly sent to his state- room. It was after receiving one of these that Greenland made his next appearance at the door of the wireless cabin, where Harry was on watch. The passenger was plainly agi- tated, and he wasted no time in making the subject of his excite- ment known. "Look here, how long will it take you to get in touch with Sydney ? "A couple of minutes, with luck," replied Harry curiously. "Then for God’s sake get to work and send this message for me. It must reach my broker within the next couple of hours, or I am abso- lutely ruined. If you get the mes- sage through O.K. you are on a hundred pounds." He slammed a slip of paper, bearing a short mes- sage in code, on the table, and waited for the answer. "I don’t want your money," said Harry, "but I’ll do my best with the message. Come back in an hour." As Greenland, with bowed head and a troubled face, walked along the deck the operator turned to his instrument. .So his rival’s money was at stake, he thought, and it was the money that stood between him and the girl of his heart. The thought flashed upon Harry: What if the message did not go, or he could not get it through. A silent, fierce battle raged in the young man’s brain. His better self clamored for the instant sending of tho message, and the selfish part of him demanded the base neglect of his duty. It was over in an in- stant. The better sel£ won. The deft fingers made the send- ing key dance rapidly, and the shore operator took in the mes- sage. Harry sat back in his chair and stared at the sunlit sea through the cabin door. His conflicting thoughts were interrupted by the sound of his ship’s call letters in the telephone. He replied and took down the message from the shore station on his pad. It was addressed to Greenland, and signed by the person to whom the momentous message had been sent. It consisted of two words: "TOO LATE." A few days later a Sydney news- paper contained a paragraph read- ing: "Mr. James Greenland, well- known on the Sydney Stock Ex- change, has disappeared from the steamer Manton, on which vessel he was a passenger for San Fran- cisco. It is almost certain that he has fallen overboard." In the little wireless cabin the young man thought hard —while a pretty girl, in the seclusion of her bedroom overlooking Sydney Har- bor, sobbed and rejoiced.

The Busy Pen
THE BUSY PEN. FOR THE COUNTRY. Sird, —I was delighted to read in your issue of August 11th the article on the use to which wireless telephony could and should be put to help our good folks in the coun- try parts. The same idea struck me a few weeks ago after read- ing in a French wireless review, that the Eiffel Tower station had already inaugurated such a service. I hope you will go all out and in- sist upon this idea until it is real- ised. P. P. McDONELL. Goulburn.

The Busy Pen - The Conference
THE CONFERENCE. Sir, —It is to be regretted that the North Sydney Radio Club was not represented at the meeting of delegates on August 4th last. The Wireless Institute, contrary to Mr. Rich’s statement, is in no way re- sponsible for their non-attendance, as notices were posted to all clubs advising them of the meeting. On August 2nd, however, the notice posted to the North Sydney Radio Club was returned to me unclaimed, and I have the letter here for fur- ther reference. It was the intention of the Insti- tute to have every club represented and took the necessary steps to do so. The Illawarra Club not being formed at the time the notices were forwarded, took their invitation from notices in the "Magic Spark" column in the "Evening News." R. D. CHARRESWORTH, Assistant Hon. Secretary, Wire- less Institute.

Transmitting Valves
Special valves are used for transmitting. These have a very high vacua to withstand high plate voltages, and electrodes large enough to deal wih the re- sulting energy flow.

On Crystal - 3,000 Miles Covered
ON CRYSTAL. 3000 MILES COVERED- During the war, a writer in "Popular Wireless," London, using a Marconi type 16 crystal receiver on board a Naval transport, found one position, guarded against the crystal. For two months it remained in one position, guarded agaginst the designs of careless cabin-boys and other evil spirits. Using a 200-foot twin wire aer- ial, barely sixty-feet high, signals were received clearly from Paris while anchored in Montreal Har- bour, at Asliar, on the Tigris and in the Suez Canal. The radio stat- iQn at Rinella Bay, Malta —BYZ, nee SD —could be clearly heard at a distance of 3,000 miles. This with a crystal detector, mark you!

'Pherics
'PHERICS. WHAT THEY ARE. (Ey An Expert). Strays, X’s, Clicks, or Grinders. These may be divided into two classes as regards their origin: — (a) Those produced by convec- tive conditions in the at- mosphere within, say luu miles radius of the station, which may be ter men "no- cal Storms." (b) Those originating at a dis- . tance. Their origin is due to the fact that the atmosphere is not at a uniform zero of potential; on the contrary, large patches accumu- late excessive positive and nega- tive charges. These charges aie continuously accumulating and uniting, frequently with such vio- lence as to produce the convection current known as "A Flash of Lightning." Primarily the charges owe their origin to the sun which ionises or charges the at- mosphere. This will be observed by the effect of latitude and seasons on the reception of X’s, i.e. they are more prevalent in tropical zones, and during the summer months in temperate zones. HEAVY DAMPING. Strays have a variable but gen- erally long wave length, their damping is heavy, and their shock- ing effect is severe. When they encounter an antenna they set it oscillating at its own natural fre- quency, and are consequently very difficult to eliminate. The following generally con- clusions may be deduced from tabulated results. — (a) Atmospherics heard in dark hours are more numerous and louder than those heard in daylight. The changes from daylight to night con- ditions are much more abrupt on or near the main- land, and less so at sea. (b) Heavy atmospheric storms occur at irregular intervals, generally accompanying periods of low barometer, high wind velocity, rapid change of temperature and great rainfall. They are specially prevalent curing rapid barometer fluctua- tions. (c) The worst atmospherics oc- cur when there is a thun- derstorm in the neighbour- hood. (and) Certain seasons of the year are worse in various parts of the world. Strays may be avoided in the following ways: LESSENING THE EFFECTS. . Use an aerial of low mean heights, and amplify the signal strength (an insulated wire on the ground for preference, though this is not possible in most cases owing to the necessity of avoiding screening effects of trees, build- ings, etc.) Use a series of coupled circuits, i.e. a selective circuit. Use a limiting or balancing de- vice, so that atmospheric strength may be limited thus allowing over- reading; or balanced out. Statics are caused through the accumulation of charges in an aer- ial. It is not advisable to leave an aerial, when not in use, insulated from earth by a receiving conden- ser, as these charges are liable to puncture the di-electric, also a nasty shock can be obtained from the aerial especially during a heavy atmospheric storm.

The ticking of a clock
The ticking of a clock is trans- mitted by wireless from France to New Zealand, enabling the New Zealand clocks to keep Greenwich time. French "R" valves will pass 10 to 15 milliamps in the plate cir- cuit and require a "B" battery of about 7 5 /Olts.

In New Zealand - A Radio Dance
IN NEW ZEALAND. A RADIO DANCE. A complete novelty in New Zea- land was provided for the dance of the District Telegraph Engin- eers’ Social and Sports Club in Wellington recently when some of the dance music was provided by wireless telephony. The transmitter was in the radio laboratory of Mr. McClay, in Gordon Place, close to the New- town Post Office, and the dance was held in the New Century Hall, Kent Terrace. The transmission was conducted by Mr. McClayand the instruments used were con- structed by Messrs. McClay, Ap- perley, and Simpson. The music was provided by gramaphone. At the receiving end, where Messrs. Apperley, Haggett, and Beere were in charge, was a three-stage amplifier from the same local workshop. The received waves, amplified by this set, were passed to a three-stage bower magnavox, from which they were emitted into the dance hall with great power. As the hall is right on a tram- line, and as a tramcar is annoy- ingly efficient as a generator of etheric disturbances at short dis- tances, there was a good deal of disturbance, and the wireless pro- gramme was found less satisfac- tory than was hoped. The large gathering was none the less pleased and impressed, and it thoroughly enjoyed the teriffic up- roar which was caused at 9 p.m. when "VLW," the Tinakori Hill radio station, burst in with its nightly weather report with so much amplification that the noise was almost deafening.

Magnavox Ad
THE RADIO MAGNAVOX. It is a recognised fact that the Radio Magnavox is a most effi- cient instrument for reproducing music and signals, but many ama- teurs do not know how this in- strument functions, and why it is so efficient. This efficiency is at- tained by having a moving coil operating in the field of powerful electromagnet. If a metal dia- phragm is used in' a reproducing instrument, and extreme amplifi- cation is to be attained, the normal distance between the diaphragm and the polepiece must be great or otherwise, as the diaphragm is vibrated to a great amplitude it will touch the polepieces and tend to stick. Since the attraction be- tween the diaphragm and the pole- pieces varies inversely as the square of the distance, the disad- vantage of removing the dia- phragm far enough to prevent sticking will be very apparent. In the Magnavox reproducer the vary- ing currents are put through a coil which is set low enough to en- circle the polepieces. No matter what position the coil is in, the field surrounding it is always uni- form, and any part of the vibra- tion the attraction between the coil and the electromagnet is the same.

Broadcasting - How England Does It
BROADCASTING. How England Does It. The broadcasting problem seems to have been tackled in an efficient manner in England. The British Postmaster-General said recently that he hoped they would have a reasonable service, without causing interference either with commercial or Government wireless, or with the facilities open to each other. He would allow a limited number of radio-telephone broadcasting stations. The country would be divided roughly into areas centring upon London, CardiffPlymouth, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle, Glasgow or Edinburgh, (but not both), and Aberdeen. One or more broadcasting'stations would be allowed in each of those areas. Permission for those stations would only be granted to British firms who were bonafide manufacturers of wireless apparatus. It was impossible for him to grant all the applications for the right of transmission, but he would ask the various firms who had applied, to co-operate so that an efficient service might be rendered, and there might be no danger of monopoly. The stations would be limited to a power of li k.w., and furnished with wave lengths which should not interfere with other services. The normal hours for broadcasting would be from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., except on Sundays, when there would be no limit. There would be certain regulations in regard to the character and class of news which these agencies could transmit. Do not materially increase filament. brightness for a small increase in signal strength, as this greatly shortens the life of the valve.

Round the Clubs - Waverley Club
WAVERLEY CLUB. The Waverley Radio Club is holding a dance at the Athanaeum Hall, Coogee, on the 22nd September. Its purpose is to augment the club’s funds. Tickets are 2/- each, and may be had from any of the club members, or from Miss Wallace. The club hopes to have a three- valve set (V24’s) transmitting before long. It should give a range which will enable most suburban clubs to pick it up. Joe: "I sent a message over 600 miles last night." Jim; "You must have some fine apparatus." Joe: "Well, I used a twopenny stamp." Wireless enthusiasts who wish to economise are advised to carry their pliers in their belts instead of in the pockets, for strategic reasons.

Oberon/compilers

Oberon Compilers and Language reference material   Compilers Overview

Compiler deployment in the maintained ports - Download information Front-end maintainer
 * Enhanced OP2, Paco (Parallel Compiler): Patrik Reali

Difference between OP2 and Paco

Paco differs from OP2 in the following aspects
 * Paco is a completely new compiler written in Active Oberon. It relies on active objects for its execution: every scope is parsed concurrently by a parser object. This is currently not faster, but simplifies the handling of forward references.
 * Language support: no Oberon-2 support and limited support for Oberon-X (semi-dynamic arrays, user defined return types)
 * Intermediate representation: low-level assembler-like representation close to a SSA-form (infinite registers, assigned once).
 * Back-end: hot-pluggable back-ends (currently i386 and StrongARM)

Note concerning the PowerPC compiler for LinuxPPC and MacOs X

In the enhanced PowerPC compiler, introduced in release 2.3.8, the bit order of sets is compatible with the other compilers (x86, SPARC, ...) (SYSTEM.VAL(LONGINT, {0}) = 1).

The old PowerPC compiler, used in MacOberon and PowerOberon (V4) (see below), represents sets in reversed bit order ({0} = 2^31). This makes mixed integer and set operations with type coercions (which are heavily needed in encryption algorithms) unportable. It was probably one of the goals of module BIT to overcome this incompatibility. But the use of module BIT makes algorithms less readable and less efficient.

Compiler deployment in ports no longer updated - Download information Note concerning Slim Binaries, often referred to as "OMI"

OMI is now history and not implemented in the current ETH Oberon system. This very interesting technology was not integrated into the new compiler because we did change the language many times and this required some deep changes to the compiler. The OMI implementation we had (and still have) was optimized for the OP2 parse tree to the extent that changing anything in the parse tree or symbol table would break or cripple it, and it should have been de-optimized first or even rewritten for the new parse tree. Anyway, this is still possible, and it would be interesting, to have somebody take over the OMI code and adapt it to the extended symbol table and parse tree used for Active Oberon.

A number of earlier ports written in the context of the Oberon V4 project are still downloadable though not maintained since: Oberon Language Reports and related Documents

 * Oberon for Amiga - Motorola 680x0
 * POWERoberon - IBM RISC System/6000
 * HP-Oberon - HP Apollo Series 700
 * Power MacOberon - PowerPC

Note [1]: An Oberon Text file can not be displayed by a conventional browser. In V4 it is displayed with an editor. In ETH Oberon, after opening, the text must be converted to ETH Oberon text by executing WTS.Convert Temp.FTP.Text. The converted text replaces the original one.

How to write a back-end for a new architecture In our experience, it is relatively easy to write a simple Wirth-like compiler for a new architecture. For example, A. Signer, at that time a student, wrote the compiler back-end for the StrongARM and ported the ETH Oberon system in four months.

The advantage of a Wirth compiler is that it is based on a few fixed code patterns that are generated directly, without first building an internal representation of the program. This simplifies the design significantly.

Paul Reed changed the code pattern procedures to upcalls, which allows him to plug in different code generators.

Of course, it is easier to implement optimizations in a compiler that supports an internal intermediate form, like OP2, but the added complexity only pays off if you actually have time to study and implement the optimization algorithms.

OpenSCAD User Manual/WIP/Persistent Cache

Introduction
The cache data of rendered geometries in OpenSCAD is limited to the life-span of the application. This feature provides a solution for the persistent storage of rendered geometries. All the rendered geometries are serialized using boost serialization library and pushed into local filesystem cache or into the Redis database according user preferences.

How to use redis for cache?
example: ""--cache=redis,127.0.0.1,6379,foobared""
 * Download and install Redis database
 * Download Hiredis release version 0.14.1 or above from, build and install it.
 * The source code of this feature is not merged yet. It is available in this PR https://github.com/openscad/openscad/pull/3316. Clone and build this PR.
 * Start the Redis-server and make a note of IP address, port number, and password if any from it's config file.
 * GUI MODE: Open the preferences dialog and move to the advance tab. enable the checkbox persistent cache using Redis. fill in the config details and close the preferences dialog.
 * CLI MODE: a new option cache is added to OpenSCAD. The usage of this option in the case of Redis is shown below.
 * That's it, now OpenSCAD is ready to use Redis for caching.

How to use local cache?
example: ""--cache=file""
 * GUI MODE: Open the preferences dialog and move to the advance tab. enable the Local cache checkbox.
 * CLI MODE: This is another variant in cache option. The usage of this option is shown below.
 * That's it, now OpenSCAD is ready to use local filesystem for caching.

Choosing Lenses
After you have chosen a camera, you will probably want to choose a lens. While many cameras come with a kit lens, you may want to also buy another lens to complement your kit lens. To do that, you will need to follow the steps listed below.

The first step is to decide whether you want a prime lens or a zoom lens. In its simplest sense, a prime lens is one that has a fixed focal length (it can't zoom in or out), and a zoom lens is one that has a variable focal length (it can zoom in or out). If this is the only thing you know, it is probably a no-brainer to choose the zoom. But the following things will make you think twice.

The pros to a zoom lens is that it can, well, zoom! With a zoom lens, you have greater control over your subject, and more freedom focal length-wise. But that freedom is compensated for by sharpness. Think of it this way: focal range and sharpness is inversely proportional: the wider the focal range is, the less sharp it is (a 50-200mm is less sharp than a 50-140mm). Recently, however, Canon broke into new territory by introducing their new RF 28-70mm f/2.0L USM lens for their EOS R mirrorless system, which has the same image quality as a prime! However, this lens still seems to be the exception rather than the rule in zoom lenses.

The pros to a prime lens are that it is sharper than a zoom. Primes are also often much cheaper than zooms because of the loss of zoom technology. Also, the silver lining to the fixed focal range is that you get to understand a specific focal range better. You know more about that one focal range, what subjects it can and cannot shoot. Two final pros to a prime lens are that it is often the best choice for night photography, often offering apertures wider than zooms can go. Primes also do great with close-up photography as well.

Now that you know whether you want a prime or zoom lens, it is time to decide on a focal length type. In general, there are the following types of lenses:

Normal

 * Ultra Wide-Angle
 * Wide-Angle
 * Standard
 * Standard-Telephoto
 * Telephoto
 * Super Telephoto

Specialty

After you've read the corresponding pages and chosen a type of lens, go to your camera brand's page in this book to learn about good lenses that will suit you.
 * Fisheye
 * Macro
 * Tilt-Shift

Adapting a kitten can take a handful of work, even more then you think. The following is everything you need, and everything you'll need to know before adapting an adorable little furball.

Caring for a Kitten

First off, adapting a kitten means taking time to play with the kitten. The kitten wants your attention no matter what you are doing. Kittens 5-7 weeks revolve around food that is wet. After a kitten is about 8 weeks, they can start to bite hard food. Cat owners mostly recommend

Meow Mix for kittens 8 weeks up, and recommend Friskies for 5-7 week kittens. Make sure the kitten can bite hard food before buying a full bag. If your kitten isn't eating much, inform the kitten's doctor. That kitten either may not like the food, or that kitten may be sick.

A Kitten's Living Arrangement

Before getting a kitten, you must first rearrange your house to fit the kitten's living arrangement. The following is a list of things to fit the kitten's living arrangement.

 * Remove dangerous objects
 * Store chemicals securely
 * A comfortable bed to snuggle in
 * Lots of toys
 * Make sure your kids are ready
 * Find a good litter tray and litter
 * Don't forget the food and treats
 * A scratching post is a must￼￼
