  • Valves Were Expensive in the Early Days of Radio and So Designers
    By RODNEY CHAMPNESS, VK3UG would become gassy. Occasionally, even today, a valve with a purple glow inside it will be seen and this is often an indication that the glass to metal pin seal is not perfect and air has leaked VICTORIA into the valve. Incandescent light globes were the first items to have metal pins or wires protruding through a glass envelope. However, this created no real problem, since the vacuum created was satisfac- tory for their operation and the glass- to-metal seals were not as critical. In some cases, the globe was filled with an inert gas such as nitrogen to prevent Above: the Kriesler 11-41 was a popular evaporation of the filament. 4-valve reflex receiver from the 1950s.

It could be a dog barking a warning, a cat arching its back, or crickets chirping, animals are always sending messages to each other. • Animals and plants react to stimuli which might come from other living things or from the environment. A stimulus usually causes the organism which receives it to respond to it. Animals use all their senses to communicate. • For example, some male birds develop colorful plumage so that the females will be attracted by a visual stimulus as well as by sound. • Bees (dogs) communicate by means smelling (sniffing). • Dolphins communicate through sounds. 4 • The signals which an organism uses can be visual (sight), sensual (touch), auditory (sound) or chemical Marine mammals establish contact with specific individuals using short-range vocalizations. The most singular example of marine mammals using sound to make or maintain contact is between mother and offspring.

VON RECKLINGHAUSEN Arlington, MA The search for amplification and control of recorded and transmitted music over the last 100 years has progressed from mechanical amplifiers to tube amplifiers to solid-state equipment. The AM radio, the record player, the FM receiver, and the tape recorder have supplemented the acoustical phonograph and the telephone. An incomplete summary of important developments in the past is presented along with challenges for the future. Home music reproduction began when Bell invented the tromechanical repeater caused it to be used for 20 years telephone in 1876 and Edison invented the phonograph in more as a hearing-aid amplifier [5, pp. 64-69]. 1877.
