HOWEVER, due to the fact that the 1969 text is no longer in publication, complicated by the fact that these copies are forty-four (44) years old and in a very fragile condition, this PDF version of the text was created for student use in the Department of Mathematics and Science. - Professor Charles Rubenstein, January 2013 Man of High Fidelity: Edwin Howard Armstrong EDWIN HOWARD ARMSTRONG Was the last – and perhaps the least known – of the great American Inventors. Without his major contributions, the broadcasting industry would not be what it is today, and there would be no FM radio. But in time of mushrooming industry and mammoth corporations, the recognition of individual genius is often refused, and always minimized. This is the extraordinary true story of the discovery of high fidelity, the brilliant man and his devoted wife who battled against tremendous odds to have it adopted, and their long fight against the corporations that challenged their right to the credit and rewards. Mrs. Armstrong finally ensured that right nearly ten years after her husband’s death.

  • Alignment and Neutralization of the Early Ac Trf & Neutrodyne Receivers
    ALIGNMENT AND NEUTRALIZATION OF THE EARLY AC TRF & NEUTRODYNE RECEIVERS by Lane S. Upton 3788 S. Loretta Dr. Salt Lake City, UT 84106-2956 For a radio to work as it was originally designed, it must be in proper alignment. This means that at any single point on the dial all tuned circuits must be at resonance and the dial calibration should be correct. In the case of neutrodyne receivers, additional steps must be taken to assure that each neutralized amplifier stage is adjusted properly. This will assure that the full gain can be realized. The purpose of this article is to provide a detailed review of the steps necessary to completely align these receivers. Much was written on this subject when the radios were relatively new, but it was all directed toward working on a "modern" receiver only a few years old. Today, we must look at warped variable condensers, worn wiper contacts, poor ground connections, coil windings that have shifted position, incorrectly positioned coils, loose shield cans, and many other problems brought about by age and abuse. The time spent doing a complete alignment will typically result in a radio with greatly improved selectivity and sensitivity. This is especially true at the lower frequency portion of the dial. Preliminary Work The initial work on a set must include inspection of all the components that will affect alignment. This should not be limited to the variable condenser and coils, but must include all other items that can have any effect. The following steps represent a basic outline of the preliminary work that should be carried out.

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.

  • Two Rich Minds - One Poor Invention
    Two Rich Minds - One Poor Invention by William E. Denk, W3IGU 1 Reprinted From The Antique Radio Gazette Volume 15, No 1 (Spring, 1987) An early patent by legendary inventors Edwin Armstrong and Michael Pupin confirms the former's long-time interest in reducing radio static. Though the application of regeneration to antenna circuits as a noise limiting technique was a dead end, it did foreshadow Armstrong's eventual development of Frequency Modulation. Writer Bill Denk was a long-time author of The OTB's book review column. Even before the founding of the first organizations devoted to the preservation of the wireless history and equipment, this writer had started his collection of patents having special significance in the early development of the communications technologies. The collection includes Edison's patent on the phonograph, Bell's patent on the telephone, the Morse patents on the telegraph, Marconi's earliest patents on his wireless transmitting and receiving system, Fleming's patent on the vacuum tube diode detector, the early crystal detector patents of Bose, Dunwoody, and Pickard, the Hazeltine Neutrodyne patent--hundreds in all. Collecting patents is an area of our hobby that requires very little space, and it can be most interesting and revealing. One of the early patents in my collection, added because of the eminence of the named co-inventors, might have been later discarded had the inventors been a pair of unknowns. One of the inventors was Michael I. Pupin, Professor of Mathematics at Columbia University. He was the inventor of the telephone repeater, or Pupin coil, which greatly improved long-distance land-line telephony.
